Finding the exact price for a 150 ton per hour crusher is hard. It is not like buying a car. The cost depends on your stone. It depends on the final size you want. This article explains the cost factors. We are SBM, a real manufacturer. We show you technical details. We show you real cases. You will understand the value. This guide helps you buy the right machine. Read this before you spend money.
Many customers ask us for a price list. We cannot give one number. A limestone plant is cheap. A granite plant costs more. The machine configuration changes everything. 150 tons per hour is a medium scale. It is a golden capacity. It fits many quarries.
Hard rocks need strong machines. Granite needs a Cone Crusher. Limestone uses an Impact Crusher. Cone crushers cost more money. They are complex. Impact crushers are cheaper. But they wear out fast on hard rock. Choosing wrong cost you more later.
Big rocks need big openings. If your rock is 600mm, you need a big Jaw Crusher. If rock is 300mm, a smaller one works. A big Jaw Crusher is expensive. It has more steel. It has a bigger motor. This changes the total price.
Do you need 3 sizes? Or 4 sizes? More sizes mean more screens. It means more conveyors. Sand making needs an extra machine. A VSI crusher adds cost. But it sells sand for high price. You must balance the cost and profit.
You must know the machines. This helps you check the quote. We explain the Jaw and Cone crusher. These are key for 150 tph lines.
The Jaw Crusher is for the first crush. It squeezes the rock. It uses a moving jaw and a fixed jaw. The motor spins the flywheel. The eccentric shaft moves the jaw plate. It pushes rock against the wall. The rock breaks. Gravity pulls it down.
Key Technical Terms:
For 150 tons, we often use the PE series. Specifically, the PE-750×1060 is good. Or maybe PE-600×900. Here is data from our lab.
| Model | Feed Opening (mm) | Max Feed (mm) | Power (kw) | Weight (t) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| PE-600×900 | 600×900 | 500 | 75-100 | 17 |
| PE-750×1060 | 750×1060 | 630 | 110 | 29 |
If you have granite, you need this. It uses a mantle and concave. The mantle spins in a circle. It crushes rock continuously. It is efficient. The reduction ratio is high. It makes good shapes. Cubical shape is good for concrete.
Why use a Cone Crusher?
We built a plant in Abuja. The client is Mr. Okeke. He has hard granite. He wanted 150 tons per hour. He sells to road builders. The stone is very hard. Compressive strength is 200 Mpa. This is tough rock.
We did not use an Impact Crusher. Granite kills impact bars. The cost of wear parts would be high. The Cone Crusher cost more to buy. But it saves money every day. Mr. Okeke is happy. He changes liners every 3 months. Not every week. This is smart investing. The plant runs 10 hours a day. Actual output is 160 tons sometimes.
Another client has limestone. This rock is soft. It is widely used for cement. The client is Mr. Tan. He wanted cheap startup cost. We designed a different line.
We used a PF Impact Crusher. The model is PF-1315. It has a big rotor. The hammers hit the rock. The rock hits the impact plate. It breaks fast.

Customer Feedback:
“SBM engineers help me a lot. The machine setup was fast. We started in 20 days. The price was good. The hammers last 2 months. It is acceptable for me.” This proves our flexibility. We adapt to your stone.
This is a pain point. Many boss buy a machine. But output is low. Why?
Answer: Check the volts. If voltage drops, motor slows. Speed drops. Force drops. You lose tons. You must use a stabilizer. Or use a generator. Dont trust grid always.
Answer: You cannot dump a truck all at once. The machine chokes. You need a Vibrating Feeder. It feeds evenly. It keeps the jaw full. A full jaw crushes better. This is called “choke feeding.” It boosts capacity by 20%.
Answer: Look under the crusher. If belt is slow, pile grows. It blocks the exit. The crusher stops. You must calculate belt speed. It must be faster than crusher output. Check this first.
Energy is money. A 150tph line uses much power. You want to save. SBM knows how.
Solution: Dont use a huge motor for small job. It wastes power. Our engineers calculate torque. We pick the right size. It saves 10% bill.
Solution: Worn liners change the angle. Crushing gets hard. Motor works harder. Change liners on time. Sharp liners cut rock easy. Dull liners mash rock. Mashing takes more power.
Don’t just look at the machine price. Look at the running cost. We call this OPEX. For a 150 ton plant, here is a rough guide. This comes from real site data.
| Item | Cost Share | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Electricity | 30% | Depends on local grid price. |
| Wear Parts | 25% | Liners, plates, screens. |
| Labor | 20% | Loader driver, operator. |
| Maintenance | 15% | Oil, grease, repairs. |
SBM machines reduce the Wear Parts cost. We use high manganese steel. It gets harder when hit. We call it Mn18Cr2. It lasts longer than Mn13. This saves you money in long run.
Buying is step one. Installing is step two. A bad install kills a good machine. We solve this worry. We are manufacturers. We do not leave you alone.
The concrete must be thick. The machine vibrates. If base is weak, it cracks. We give detailed drawings. We show where bolts go. We show how deep to dig. You follow our map. It will be safe.
We send an engineer. He stays at your site. He teaches your workers.
How to start.
How to stop.
How to listen to noise.
Bad noise means trouble. He teaches them to hear it. This skill is valuable.
You probably have these questions. We answer them now.
Yes. We have warehouses. We are big. We keep stock of jaws and mantles. When you stop, you lose money. We ship fast. We use DHL or sea freight. You choose speed. We also give you a spare list. Buy these with the machine. Keep them on a shelf.
Usually 30 days. We need to make it. We need to paint it. We test it. We run it in factory for 4 hours. We check heat. We check vibration. Only good machine leaves factory. Shipping time depends on your port.
Yes. Standard is 12 months. This covers the main body. It covers the shaft. It does not cover wear parts. Wear parts die naturally. If the frame cracks, we fix it. We stand behind our quality. SBM is a famous brand.
Do not rush. Follow this path. It prevents mistakes.
1. Test your stone. Send us a sample. We check hardness.
2. Measure your site. Is it flat? Is it on a hill? A hill is good. It uses gravity. It saves belt cost.
3. Define your budget. Include the cables. Include the loader. Include the generator.
4. Talk to SBM. We make a flowchart. We simulate the process.
5. Visit a site. Go see a working plant. See the truth.
A 150 ton per hour crusher is a great investment. The cost varies. It depends on the tech you choose. A Jaw and Cone setup is robust. It costs more but lasts long. A Jaw and Impact setup is cheap but wears fast. You must decide based on your rock. We are SBM. We have 30 years experience. We dont just sell iron. We sell a solution. We help you make money. We want you to succeed. If you win, we win.
