The best crusher for crushing basalt is typically a jaw crusher for primary crushing, as it can handle large, hard, and abrasive pieces of rock. For further reduction and obtaining smaller, more uniform particles, a cone crusher is highly effective. Cone crushers offer a more gradual reduction and produce a more cubical shape, which is ideal for basalt due to its high durability and resistance to wear. Using a combination of these crushers can yield the best results in processing basalt for construction and industrial applications.
