Cone Crusher Hire in Perth

Cone crushers on Ultihire

A cone crusher sits behind the jaw and turns primary-crushed rock into saleable aggregate. It is the machine that decides your product shape and gradation, so the right cone matters more than any other piece of plant on a quarry-style job. Ultihire lists tracked mobile cones from the 30 to 50 tonne class, including units with an onboard pre-screen or a closed-circuit screen for making a finished product in one pass.

Compare between listings: chamber size and the liner profile fitted (coarse, medium or fine), closed side setting range, power (diesel-hydraulic or diesel-electric), and whether it has a hopper with a metal detector to protect the chamber from tramp iron coming off the jaw.

Getting the product right

Cones perform best choke-fed on a consistent, well-graded feed. If you are feeding it straight from a jaw, make sure the jaw is producing a size the cone chamber can take — a chamber set up for 40 mm feed will not like 150 mm lumps. Tell the owner what you are trying to make (20 mm aggregate, 40 mm drainage rock, road base, manufactured sand) and they will tell you what liner is in the machine and whether it will get you there.

For a spec product you will almost always want a screen behind the cone with a recirculating conveyor. Owners often hire the cone and screen together; check the listing or ask.

Before you accept a hire

Ask about mantle and concave wear — a liner set that is nearly done changes your product and your throughput. Ask about the last oil analysis and whether the hydraulics have been serviced. Cones are less forgiving of tramp metal than a jaw, so confirm what protection is fitted and who carries the risk if something gets through.

Crushing & screening hire in Perth

Perth has one of the busiest crushing and screening markets in the country for its size. Limestone quarries along the coastal plain, hard-rock operations in the Darling Scarp, a steady stream of demolition concrete from the metro area and a civil program that never seems to stop all need mobile plant, and much of it sits idle between jobs. That is what Ultihire is built to fix.

Because listings show suburb and delivery radius, you can find plant that is already on your side of the river and avoid a float from the other side of the metro. Owners in the northern suburbs, the eastern industrial belt around Hazelmere and Forrestfield, and the south around Kwinana and Rockingham list here.
