The features of granite

Granite is a kind of igneous rock, also known as acid crystalline plutonic rock, which belongs to hard stone. It is made of feldspar, quartz, and a small amount of mica. Granite is dense and has a granular structure. The main component of granite is silicon dioxide, which has a hardness of 6 to 7 according to Mohs hardness. Natural granite has different shapes and needs to be crushed to meet the demand for materials in various fields. After processing and polishing, the surface of granite will form a beautiful speckled pattern with different shades of color. The pattern is characterized by fine and uniform grains, with star-liked mica highlights and sparkling quartz crystals.

Applications of granite sand and gravel

80-150 mm (gravel in over-large size): mainly used for large water conservancy and hydropower construction 40-80 mm (gravel in large size): mainly used for the construction of road, road base, and railway 20-40 mm (gravel in medium size): mainly used for civil construction 5-20 mm (gravel in small size): mainly used for large concrete buildings Under 5 mm (sand): used for various building and road construction project

Granite Crusher Solutions for Efficient Rock Crushing

Granite crushing solutions

Planning a granite crushing project? We provide field-proven, customized solutions designed for your toughest granite aggregates.

Our granite crushing machines are already running in aggregate plants and quarries worldwide.

Take our 50 TPH granite plant in Ethiopia as an example:

Feeding → Primary (Jaw Crushing) → Secondary (Cone Crushing) → Tertiary Shaping (VSI Crushing) → Screening.

50 TPH granite plant in Ethiopia

The result:

High-quality aggregates

Stable production

Up to 20% longer wear part lifespan

Less downtime. Lower cost. Better returns.

Primary crushing: Jaw crusher

For the first stage of granite processing, jaw crusher machines are widely used to handle large granite rock. Jaw crusher uses massive compression force to snap granite's crystalline structure.

Our jaw crusher series features a reinforced swing jaw and high-manganese liners specifically designed to handle the high-impact stress of granite rock.

Pro tip: Ensure your feed size is 80% of the maximum intake to prevent bridging and maximize throughput. Get a quote

Granite jaw crusher

Feeding size	≤1,200 mm
Discharging size	10-350 mm
Capacity	≤2,200 t/h

Secondary crushing: Cone crushers

For granite rock fine crushing, cone crushers are the most efficient granite crusher equipment used in plants.

Unlike impact crushers that rely on high-speed collisions (which lead to fast wear in granite), cone crushers use laminated crushing.

Modern hydraulic cone crushers (like our HPM series) create a stable crushing environment and reduce the needle-like particle content that often plagues granite aggregates.

You get longer intervals between liner changes, keeping your plant running longer. Get a quote

Feeding size	≤450 mm
Discharging size	4-41 mm
Capacity	≤2,181t/h

Tertiary shaping: VSI crusher

If your goal is high-spec concrete sand or asphalt aggregate, the final step belongs to the VSI Crusher (Vertical Shaft Impactor).

The "Rock-on-Rock" advantage: By accelerating granite particles against each other, the VSI crusher polishes the stones into a perfect cubical shape.

This process increases the market value of your final granite aggregate by meeting the strictest international building standards. Get a quote
