The best type of crusher for hard rock is typically a jaw crusher followed by a cone crusher. A jaw crusher is highly effective for primary crushing because it can handle large and hard rocks with its powerful compression mechanism. Once the rock is broken down by the jaw crusher, a cone crusher can be used for secondary crushing to produce finer and more uniform particles. Cone crushers are well-suited to handle abrasive and high-hardness materials because they use a rotating mantle within a cone-shaped chamber to crush the rock between the mantle and the chamber walls. This combination ensures high efficiency, durability, and optimal size reduction for hard rocks.
