Which is better value, a new cone crusher or a used cone crusher?

Cone Crusher is one of the types of crushers with high technical content and process value. It has become a leader in the crushing field and has good crushing effects on various medium and high hardness ores, including quartz, marble, granite, etc. It mainly uses the rotating motion of the cone to generate impact force to achieve material crushing. Due to its high production capacity, low energy consumption and uniform particle size, it is widely used in mining, construction, highway and other industries. As a professional crusher manufacturer, Xingaonai Heavy Industry has sold more than 1,500 cone crushers by December 2024.

With the development of the economy, the infrastructure industry has ushered in a golden period, and the demand for sand and gravel aggregates has risen rapidly. At the same time, the sand and gravel crusher industry has also entered a period of rapid development. Many investors have invested in the field of machine-made sand processing and started to purchase and add cone crushers in large quantities, hoping to get a share of the warm wind of construction!

Should I buy a new cone crusher or a second-hand one? This is an inevitable question for users to consider. Many customers think that buying a new machine is better, but the price is slightly more expensive and the investment pressure is high. In addition, you should also understand that the price of a second-hand machine may be cheaper, but there may be certain investment risks such as shady transactions, quality assurance, and no after-sales service. Here, Xingaonai Heavy Industry will compare and analyze for you from the aspects of equipment price, quality, fuel consumption, and service life.

1. Comparison of prices of new and second-hand cone crushers

I believe that most users choose to buy second-hand cone crushers because the price is cheaper, which is much more favorable than new equipment. However, some customers do not know how to buy and may use intermediaries, so they need to pay a certain amount of intermediary fees in advance, which increases the cost of second-hand machine investment; for direct sales new machine manufacturers, Xingaonai Heavy Industry adopts a sales model that combines the Internet and offline, eliminating the middle link, so the new machine sold is not much higher than the second-hand cone crusher, and it is more cost-effective to buy.

2. Comparison of the quality of new and second-hand cone crushers

There may be some "shady deals" in the purchase of second-hand cone crushers. For example, the surface of the machine body looks intact, but the internal parts may be seriously worn, or the quality itself is not very good. Generally, experienced users can hardly see it. After using it for a period of time, it is found that the failure rate is high, it cannot meet the production line operation requirements, and the maintenance cost is relatively high. New equipment will not have this trouble at all, and the quality and cost-effectiveness are high.

3. Comparison of fuel consumption between new and second-hand cone crushers

Fuel consumption and power consumption are issues that must be considered when using cone crushers. Usually, as the equipment ages, its fuel consumption will be higher. Calculated based on 8 hours a day, the fuel consumption and power consumption of second-hand machines are 45% more than those of new equipment, and the cost will be higher. From the perspective of fuel consumption, buying second-hand machines is very uneconomical.

4. Comparison of the service life of new and second-hand cone crushers

Cone Crushers all have a service life, and the golden period is generally 12 years. If you buy a second-hand one, its service life will naturally be shortened. Moreover, if the previous owner does not perform proper daily maintenance, the equipment life may be much longer than the actual life, and the remaining service life will be shorter. However, the new cone crusher produced by Xingaonai Heavy Industry will not have this problem at all.

5. Comparison of after-sales service between new and second-hand cone crushers

Buying a second-hand crusher may face problems even if the service period has not expired. Since second-hand equipment may have been transferred many times, it is very likely that the original manufacturer will no longer provide services. For crushers with more vulnerable parts, the costs of later failures and maintenance are borne by themselves, while new machines will not have this problem. Therefore, the manufacturer's technical support and installation guidance are particularly important.

To sum up, a second-hand cone crusher may be tens of thousands of yuan cheaper than a whole machine. However, after adding the agency fee, repair fee, maintenance fee, additional fuel consumption, life depreciation fee and other expenses, the total cost of the second-hand machine will far exceed that of a new machine. Therefore, it is recommended to buy a brand new cone crusher from the Xingaonai Naizhong factory, which guarantees that you will make a lot of money!
