In the quarry, the rock dictates the costs. The harder and more abrasive it is, the more it tests your machines: wear, breakage, downtime. WEIL crushers are designed for these extreme conditions, from blasting to graded aggregate.
Before energy, before labour, it is the abrasiveness of the rock that determines the real cost of each tonne you produce. The harder and more abrasive the material, the more it wears the crushing tools: accelerated wear, breakage, downtime. On this demanding ground, the choice of machine is not decided on theoretical throughput, but on its ability to last.
Four concrete points that make the difference to operating cost, where the rock is most demanding.
Crushing tools and liners sized for abrasive rock. A maximised service life that spaces out replacements and reduces the cost per tonne.
Reinforced frames, large-diameter spherical bearings and a massive design: the machine takes impacts and overloads without premature fatigue.
Rapid tool changes, easy access to wear components and a permanent stock of parts: downtime is reduced to the strict minimum.
The higher the ABR and the Mohs index, the greater the WEIL advantage. It is precisely on the hardest rock that the mechanics make the difference.
Mohs hardness index and ABR abrasiveness index (kWh/t) for 16 commonly processed rocks. The higher the ABR, the faster the tool wear.

Indicative average values — the real abrasiveness depends on the local composition of the deposit. Our engineers refine the sizing from a sample of your rock.
At each stage of the chain, the crusher family suited to your rock and your target particle size.
Reduction of blasted blocks. Maximum robustness to take the largest sizes of hard rock.
Taking the primary output to reduce the particle size. FN or EG chambers according to the fineness required.
Cubic shaping of aggregates and sand production. Controlled grading curve for concrete and asphalt.
Mobile units for temporary sites and locations with difficult access. Rapid start-up, easy repositioning.
