Our Chinese-language site has published numbered technical articles near-daily for years —
thousands of them, covering selection, wear, maintenance, cost and process questions. That archive is the raw
material for this section. But we are not translating it: the searches that bring a buyer to a supplier's site are
not the same as the searches that bring a reader to a Chinese technical column.
An English buyer building a granite line in Nigeria does not search for a general article about cone
crushers. They search for their grade, their tonnage and their problem — and the answer has to be specific enough
to be useful. So every piece here is rewritten around a real configuration question, with our own project data and
settings behind it.
Selection & buying decisions
Selection guide
Multi-cylinder vs single-cylinder cone crushers: which one fits your duty?
Where each architecture wins on throughput, gradation, fines content and wear cost — with real SK.D versus SK.Y duty comparisons from lines we have supplied.

How to compare two crushing line quotations honestly
The four figures that make quotations comparable — installed power, screen area, wear cost per ton and scope boundaries. Most price differences come from one of the four.
Ask us to compare yours →Cost analysis
Calculating the real cost per ton of your aggregate line
Fuel and power, wear parts, labour and availability — and why a plant running at 85% availability costs more per ton than one at 95%, at identical nameplate capacity.

Site conditions
Crushing equipment for unstable power supply in remote mines
Genset sizing, soft-start strategy, voltage-fluctuation tolerance and electrical protection for sites where the grid is a rumour. Written from projects that run this way daily.

Wet vs dry sand making: which fits your rainy season
Why so many tropical sand lines underperform in month four, and how to decide the process before you buy the plant rather than after.

Wear parts: the schedule that beats the breakdown
How to build a first-year wear forecast from your rock type and duty cycle, and how to tell liner wear from a settings problem when throughput falls.

Import & customs
5 certifications your crusher supplier must provide for African customs
SONCAP, PVoC, TBS and SABS explained — what each regime requires, and the documents to demand before shipping. This is the checklist that keeps your machine out of the port yard.

Packing, FCL loading and the inland leg nobody plans for
Naked versus frame-box packing, loading plans your forwarder can use, and the multi-modal inland transport that exceeds expectation more often than the sea freight does.

Payment structures and foreign-exchange reality
L/C versus T/T, 30% deposit structures, and what FX restrictions in some markets mean for how a contract has to be written.

Tell us the model, leave your work email — the full technical pack lands in your inbox. An email-gated library, and the most direct evidence we can give you that we manufacture what we sell.

pieces live in the
technical article archive,
company and exhibition updates in
news & exhibitions,
and machine and plant footage in the
video library.
Content is published as it is written rather than as a batch — and each piece carries the engineer's name
and the project it came from, because that is the part competitors cannot copy.
