In mining, sand and gravel aggregate production, and other fields, jaw rock crushers are the preferred equipment for primary crushing due to their simple structure, high crushing ratio, and strong adaptability. However, with numerous jaw crusher brands on the market and significant price differences, how can you choose the most cost-effective equipment? This article compares price, performance, and applicable scenarios, and recommends high-quality manufacturers to help you make an informed decision. 
1. Factors Affecting Jaw Crusher Prices
The price of a jaw crusher is affected by a variety of factors, primarily including:
- Model specifications (feed size, processing capacity)
- Material and wear resistance (high manganese steel jaw plate, cast steel frame)
- Brand and manufacturer (premium of well-known brands vs. cost-effectiveness of small and medium-sized manufacturers)
- Configuration differences (motor power, hydraulic adjustment vs. mechanical adjustment)
- After-sales service (warranty period, spare parts supply)
Generally speaking, the price of a small jaw crusher (PE-400×600) ranges from 100,000 to 300,000 RMB, a medium-sized jaw crusher (PE-600×900) from 300,000 to 600,000 RMB, and a large jaw crusher (PE-1200×1500) from 800,000 to 2,000,000 RMB.
II. Comparative Analysis of Mainstream Jaw Crusher
| Model | Processing Capacity (t/h) | Motor Power (kW) | Feed Size (mm) | Highlights | Reference Price (10,000 RMB) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| PE-400×600 | 15-60 | 30 | 340×400 | Simple structure, easy maintenance | 12-18 |
| PE-600×900 | 50-160 | 75 | 500×750 | Stable production, high cost-effectiveness | 28-42 |
| PE-750×1060 | 110-320 | 110 | 630×800 | Deep cavity design, high crushing ratio | 45-65 |
| PE-900×1200 | 220-450 | 132 | 750×900 | Heavy-duty design, strong durability | 68-95 |
| CJ125 | 250-500 | 160 | 850×1100 | Hydraulic adjustment, intelligent control | 120-180 |
III. Purchasing Recommendations
- Small Production Line: PE-400×600 or PE-600×900 are recommended for low investment costs.
- Medium Production Line: PE-750×1060 is the best choice for high cost-performance.
- Large Production Line: Consider PE-900×1200 or CJ series for stable output.
- Special Working Conditions: For hard rock crushing, heavy-duty models with hydraulic adjustment devices are recommended.
