First, identify the raw material (e.g., river pebble, granite, limestone, or recycled concrete) and the required output sizes. Hard, abrasive materials demand wear-resistant crushers, while soft stone allows simpler configurations.

Option A: Jaw Crusher + Impact Crusher (most common for 30–100 t/h)

Ideal for soft to medium-hard stone (limestone, dolomite)

Produces well-shaped aggregates for construction

Option B: Single Hammer Crusher (for <50 t/h, very soft materials)

Ultra-compact, low investment

Suitable for coal, gypsum, or weathered limestone

No secondary crusher needed – direct shaping and screening

Option C: Jaw Crusher + Cone Crusher (for hard materials like granite)

Higher wear resistance, better for abrasive stone

Slightly higher cost but lower long-term maintenance
