Cone Crushers For Sale

Precision crushing with quality cone crushers

Cone crushers are precision machines designed for secondary and tertiary crushing, delivering consistent reduction and well-shaped aggregates. With their ability to handle medium to hard rock and produce material that meets tight specifications, cone crushers are essential across quarrying, aggregates production, and mining operations. At Ritchie Bros., listings frequently include leading makes such as Metso cone crusher, Sandvik, and Terex, with options spanning mobile cone crusher units, portable cone crusher plants, and large stationary installations.

How cone crushers work

The crushing action of a cone crusher relies on a rotating mantle within a concave bowl. As material enters the chamber, it is compressed between these two surfaces until it breaks to the desired size. Unlike the single-pass, high-speed reduction of an impact crusher, a cone crusher applies continuous compressive force, yielding uniform product shape and a high percentage of usable material.

Closely related is the gyratory crusher, which uses the same principle of compression crushing but on a larger scale. While gyratory units are typically used in primary crushing for very high-capacity operations, cone crushers excel as secondary and tertiary machines in multi-stage circuits where precision and particle shape are key.

Why chose a cone crusher

For many producers, cone crushers strike the ideal balance between reduction ratio, capacity, and product shape. They are versatile, efficient, and adaptable across a wide range of applications. Common benefits of a gyratory crusher include:

Consistent particle shape

Cone crushers are engineered to produce cubical aggregate that meets the demanding requirements of concrete, asphalt, and road base production. By applying continuous compressive force rather than high-impact blows, they deliver uniform particles that improve mix quality, durability, and structural performance.

Adjustable settings

Modern cone crushers feature hydraulic adjustment systems that allow operators to fine-tune output size and throughput on the fly. This level of control ensures optimal reduction ratios across different feed materials, minimizing waste and maximizing efficiency without lengthy downtime for manual adjustments.

High throughput

With the capacity to process large volumes of material, cone crushers provide a reliable solution for high-production environments. Even under heavy loads, their design maintains consistent performance, supporting continuous operation and reducing the risk of bottlenecks in multi-stage crushing spreads.

Durability

Built with wear-resistant liners, robust frames, and heavy-duty components, cone crushers are designed for long service life. The emphasis on durability not only lowers operating costs over time but also ensures dependable uptime in demanding conditions, from quarries to mining operations.

What types are available at Ritchie Bros.

When buying at Ritchie Bros, you'll find a range of configurations to suit different operational needs:

• Stationary Cone Crushers – Built for maximum capacity and integration with complete crushing spreads.
• Mobile Cone Crushers – Track-mounted for flexibility across multiple sites, minimizing setup time.
• Portable Cone Crushers – Towable or modular units that balance mobility with productivity.

Whether listed as a mobile cone crusher or portable cone crusher, each configuration provides distinct advantages depending on production goals and site conditions.

New Vs. Used Cone Crushers

Buyers often evaluate the trade-offs between new and used machines. New crushers bring the latest technology, improved safety systems, and full factory warranties. However, many turn to a used cone crusher for sale as a cost-efficient alternative that still delivers reliable performance. Used models from trusted manufacturers like Metso and Sandvik often retain strong resale value, particularly when service records and inspection reports are available. At Ritchie Bros., buyers gain confidence through transparent condition reports and detailed equipment history.

Metso Cone Crushers And Other Leading Brands

The Metso cone crusher is one of the most recognized machines in the industry, valued for advanced automation, proven reliability, and energy efficiency. Alongside Metso, listings may include Sandvik, Terex, McCloskey, and other respected brands, providing buyers with a broad selection of machines suited to different production demands and budget considerations.

Key buying considerations

Several factors influence the decision when searching for a cone crusher for sale:

• Capacity & Reduction Ratio – Match throughput capacity with operational requirements to avoid underutilization or bottlenecks.
• Feed Size & Hardness – Cone crushers perform best when material is properly sized from the primary crusher and not excessively abrasive.
• Automation & Controls – Many modern units feature automated settings and protection systems to reduce downtime and optimize performance.
• Operating Costs – Consider liner life, power draw, and ease of maintenance when evaluating lifecycle economics.
• Mobility Requirements – Decide between a stationary plant, a mobile cone crusher, or a portable cone crusher depending on project scope and location.
