Buyer question / selection note

How much does a 300 t/h stone crusher plant cost in 2026?

There is no defensible universal price range for a 300 t/h line without a location, quotation date, trade term, feed test, product scope, civil boundary, electrical standard, automation level, freight, and commissioning scope. Compare full delivered scope on one RFQ matrix.

01 / Decision summary

Quick takeaways

  1. 01Rock hardness and wear strategy can change CAPEX and OPEX significantly.
  2. 02Civil works, electrical distribution, and steel structure are often under-budgeted.
  3. 03Automation level and the spare package can materially change total investment.
  4. 04Use a scope-normalized RFQ matrix before comparing supplier prices.

02 / Engineering notes

Selection guidance

01

What drives cost the most on a 300 t/h project

The strongest cost drivers are ore hardness, product split, and circuit complexity (for example adding shaping or washing stages). Civil and electrical balance-of-plant scope is often the hidden part that creates the biggest budget gap after purchase.

02

Three common scope levels buyers compare

Most quotes fall into three levels: machine-only, mechanical package, and full line delivery. Price differences can look huge until you normalize foundation, steel, electrical, controls, commissioning, and first-year critical spares.

03

How to avoid low-price traps

Ask every supplier to quote against the same feed assumptions, operating hours, and delivered boundaries. Then compare cost per delivered ton and expected wear budget, not only ex-works equipment price.

Frequently asked questions

01
Why can one 300 t/h quote be much lower than another?
Usually because scope is not equivalent. Lower quotes often exclude electrical/control systems, structural steel, installation support, or critical spare parts.
02
Should I buy exactly 300 t/h nameplate capacity?
No. Calculate each stage's margin from peak feed, wear derating, screen efficiency, recirculation load, target availability, and seasonal variability.
03
What information should I prepare before requesting a quote?
Prepare max feed size, rock type/hardness, target products, operating hours, site power standard, and required automation boundary. This is the minimum set for comparable proposals.

Review model specifications and application limits before requesting a quote so the supplier can check the recommendation against a defined duty.

01

PE / PEX Jaw Crusher

PE and PEX jaw-crusher models for granite, basalt, river stone, and ore duties. PE covers primary hard-rock reduction up to the listed 1,020 mm feed limit, while PEX variants use tighter discharge settings for secondary or fine crushing.

02

PY Spring Cone Crusher

PY spring cone crushers for granite, basalt, iron ore, and other hard-rock secondary or tertiary duties. PYB, PYZ, and PYD chamber types cover the listed 12–640 t/h range with adjustable CSS and spring overload protection.

03

PF Impact Crusher

PF impact crushers for limestone, dolomite, recycled concrete, and aggregate-shaping duties. Six listed models span 15–400 t/h for secondary or tertiary crushing with adjustable aprons and replaceable blow bars.

04

XS Wheel Sand Washer

The XS wheel sand washer removes clay and excess fines from manufactured sand. The listed models use a wheel-and-bucket arrangement with a sealed bearing housing; final cleanliness and fine-sand loss depend on feed grading and water control.

Project check

Ask for a recommendation against your operating conditions.

A useful reply needs the inputs that control feed acceptance, reduction ratio, product split, and real hourly duty.
