Modern aggregate production lines rely heavily on high-capacity cone crushers to meet the growing demand for construction materials. A cone crusher with a throughput of 200 tons per hour serves as the backbone of mid-to-large-scale sand and gravel plants, balancing efficiency and product quality.
A typical production line includes:
1. Primary Jaw Crusher: Breaks large rocks into smaller fragments (~150mm).
2. Cone Crusher (200 TPH Model): Secondary crushing for uniform particle size (e.g., 20–50mm). Example model: XYZ-500HP with adjustable CSS (10–50mm).
3. VSI Sand Maker: Shapes fine aggregates (<5mm) for ideal gradation.
4. Vibrating Screens: Multi-deck screens segregate output into usable fractions.

Q1: How to maintain cone crusher efficiency?
A: Regularly check liner wear, monitor hydraulic pressure, and ensure proper feed distribution.
Q2: Can this setup produce both aggregates and sand?
A: Yes, pairing the cone crusher with a VSI yields balanced coarse/fine materials.
Project: Limestone quarry in Texas, USA
Solution: Deployed XYZ-500HP cone crusher (200 TPH) + VSI combo, achieving 95% passing ASTM C33 specs for concrete sand. Production increased by 30%
