150 TPH Cone Crusher Machine | Basalt & Granite Crushing

We Put a 150 TPH Cone Crusher Into an Old Circuit—and Cut Power Use by 12% A basalt crushing plant in Indonesia had been running two smaller cone crushers in parallel to reach their target output. The system worked, but maintenance costs were climbing and power consumption was high. We replaced both with a single 150 TPH cone crusher—properly matched to their feed and closed-side setting. The new unit achieved the same tonnage with less horsepower, cutting electricity use by 12% in the first month. Product shape improved too, because the larger crusher ran at a more consistent choke-fed condition. A 2023 mineral processing study found that optimizing crusher size to match circuit capacity can improve energy efficiency by 10–18%. Our client saw that number on their monthly utility bill. The maintenance team told us: “We grease the crusher daily and change liners every 1,000 hours. It’s simple, predictable, and the production manager doesn’t call us at night anymore.”
