You want to mine yellow metal in South Africa. We clearly understand your big needs. Therefore we are SBM. We build great size reducers. We offer full complete factory solutions. First we will show you rock breaker prices. Then we will share grinding cylinder costs. This simple guide helps you choose well. So you will save money and time today.
First you must break the huge rocks. This action is called physical size reduction. A jaw smashing tool does this very well. It uses two heavy metal plates. One plate always moves fast. The other plate stays very still. So the raw rock get crushed between them. We call this bottom gap CSS. CSS means Closed Side Setting. You can easily change it to get different sizes. Why do this. Because small rock grind faster later. Consequently this saves your motor energy. Furthermore it lowers your total factory cost. We always use good cast steel. Therefore the plates last much longer. This is our firm promise to you. The Journal of Mining Engineering says good CSS saves 20% power. Therefore we focus on this important part.

Our stone smashers have very strong motors. A standard motor power is 110kW. Why is it exactly 110kW. Because hard African raw rock needs huge power. The breaking ratio is usually 6 to 1. This means big rocks get six times smaller. Next we closely look at the OSS. The OSS is the Open Side Setting. This wide top allows big rocks to enter. Our machine turning speed is 250 RPM. This fast speed gives high daily output. According to Mining Science Journal data fast speeds break hard rocks better. So we design it exactly this way. Your factory will produce much more dust.
Next you must strictly use a grinding tube. We often call it a powder maker. It spins very fast on huge bearings. Heavy steel balls inside smash the rocks. This violent action make a fine dust. The dust is usually 75 microns small. Why must it be this very small. Because yellow metal is trapped in the rock. Fine dust lets chemicals touch the yellow metal easily. SBM grinding tubes use very low energy. The motor power match is very precise. Therefore you do not waste expensive electric power. We test every single unit before shipping. So it runs perfectly for you at site.
Our heavy machines use smart drive systems. We always use high quality V-belts. The rubber belts connect the motor to the wheel. Why use V-belts. Because they absorb sudden big shocks. If a giant iron piece enters the machine stops safely. This protects the expensive electric motor. Also we use premium soft starters. The soft starter slowly reduces sudden electrical stress. Consequently your local power grid stays very stable. The African power grid can be very weak. Therefore this smart feature is extremely important. You will not face sudden power cuts.
We helped a big site in Johannesburg last year. The weather climate is hot and very dry. The raw material was very hard rock. They needs 100 tons per hour capacity. First we gave them a PE600x900 rock breaker. Then we added an SBM overflow grinding cylinder. The input rock size was 400mm big. The final output size was 0.074mm fine. Why did we choose this exact setup. Because it handles hard material very easily. It also saves them huge money. Below is the real project running data.
| Item Data | Value Data | Reason Data |
|---|---|---|
| Hourly Capacity | 100 TPH | Meets customer daily production goal |
| Power Use | 2.1 kWh/t | Saves much daily electricity costs |
| Failure Rate | Under 2% | Good thick parts last much longer |
The site manager said this very good thing. “SBM machines run very well everyday. The plant installation was very fast. Now we make more money. Also daily maintenance is very easy.” This directly proves our high quality. We care deeply about your final success.

We also did a project in Free State. The raw rocks there are slightly different. They wanted a 50 tons per hour line. First we checked the material exact hardness. Next we picked a smaller stone smasher. We used a 1500×3000 grinding tube. Why use this specific size. Because it perfectly matches the 50 TPH goal. It totally avoids wasting any extra motor power. The local customer felt very happy. He said “SBM gives the best custom plan. They really know African local mining.” We are very proud of this proven fact.
Many new miners constantly worry about high costs. Rock breakers can seem very expensive. But cheap cheap tools break down extremely fast. However a good SBM machine runs for years. It has a very high ROI. ROI means Return on Investment. You spends a bit more first. But you earn much more later. Why is this completely true. Because your plant never stops working. SBM offers many flexible custom plans. We closely fit your exact tight budget. Therefore you can start your project safely.
Broken machines cost you big huge money. You lose precious daily production time. SBM designs all heavy parts to last long. First we use high manganese steel. This special metal is extremely tough. Our standard maintenance cycle is 6 full months. Why so long. Because the thick parts wear very slowly. Second we also give you free spare parts. Then we deeply train your local workers. So you will not worry about long stops. Your plant will keep making good money.
Maybe you think setting up is very hard. Do not worry about this complicated step. SBM provides full complete installation guides. We send detailed paper engineering drawings. Also we sends our best engineers. They guide your workers step by slow step. First they build the concrete base. Second they put the heavy machine down. Third they test the electric power lines. Why do we help so much. Because a good start means a long life. We fix all your early problems.
You must follow some clear easy steps. First check your rock exact hardness. Second know your required final output size. Third clearly set your total project budget. Fourth talk directly to an SBM technical engineer. Next we calculate the dynamic heavy loads. Then we draw a simple decision tree for you. If rock is hard we use jaw smasher. If rock is soft we use impact smasher. This is our basic standard rule. Why follow these simple rules. Because it absolutely stops big factory mistakes.

You must clearly know your daily running costs. First is the electric power cost. SBM machines save 15% on power. Second is the clean water cost. Our system uses recycled dirty water. Third is the labor worker cost. Our machines are very smart and automatic. Therefore you need fewer workers to watch them. Why is this so important. Because lower daily costs mean higher profits. We calculate all these exact numbers for you. You will see the clear profit margin.
A good working plant costs real money. A jaw smasher is maybe 50000 USD. A grinding tube is maybe 100000 USD. But please do not just look at the price. Look at the total long value. An SBM plant saves money everyday. This quickly pays for the machine itself. Furthermore we do not hide any secret fees. Our listed prices are very fair. We want a long business relationship with you.
Usually it takes about 30 full days. First we must build the heavy machine. Then we strictly test the machine. Finally we ship it safely to South Africa. Why wait 30 days. Because strict quality checks need much time. We never rush bad work.
Yes we absolutely can help you. We sends our expert technical engineers. They fly to your real work site. Then they teach your local team. This makes sure everything is perfectly correct. Why do this. Because bad setup causes fast machine failures.
We keep many parts in local stock. Therefore we can ship them very fast. You will get them in a few days. Why is this so good. Because your downtime stays very short. You keep producing fine powder everyday.
You need the right yellow metal tools. South Africa has great big mining chances. Now you know the rock breaker costs. Also you know the grinding tube prices. SBM is your absolute best business partner. We make very strong heavy machines. We support your factory forever. Buy SBM equipment for your huge big success.
