Bluestone, also known as limestone or bluestone sandstone in some regions, is widely used in road construction, concrete production, landscaping, and building materials. As demand for high-quality aggregates continues to grow, many customers want to know how to choose the right bluestone crusher and how to optimize production costs and efficiency. Below, we address the key questions users care about most.
1. What Type of Crusher Is Best for Bluestone?
The best crusher depends on the hardness, moisture, and final product requirements of the material. Popular options include:
Jaw Crusher – Ideal for primary crushing of large bluestone blocks.
Impact Crusher – Produces well-shaped aggregates; recommended for construction-grade materials.
Cone Crusher – Best for higher hardness bluestone or when stable, fine output is required.
VSI Sand Maker – Suitable for producing high-quality manufactured sand from bluestone.
Choosing the right equipment ensures higher efficiency and lower wear cost.
2. How Much Capacity Do I Need?
Capacity depends on your project scale.
Typical ranges include:
50–150 T/H for small construction plants
200–350 T/H for medium quarry sites
500 T/H and above for large-scale mining operations
A complete production line often includes feeder, crusher, screen, and conveyor to ensure smooth, continuous operation.
3. How to Reduce Wear and Maintenance Costs?
Bluestone is relatively soft compared with granite, but still causes wear if equipment is poor quality.
To lower your cost:
Choose crushers with wear-resistant liners.
Maintain proper feeding rate; avoid overload.
Add dust control systems to protect bearings and components.
Use high-quality spare parts for longer service life.
Proper maintenance can reduce downtime by more than 30%.
4. What Final Sizes Can a Bluestone Crusher Produce?
Common output sizes include:
0–5mm (sand)
5–10mm, 10–20mm (fine aggregates)
20–40mm (coarse aggregates)
Adjustable crusher settings allow flexible production to meet different engineering requirements.
5. Is It Energy-Efficient?
Modern bluestone crushers are designed with:
Optimized crushing chambers
Electric control systems
Intelligent lubrication and monitoring
High-efficiency motors
These can reduce energy consumption by 15–25% compared with traditional crushers.
