For quarry and mining operations in Saudi Arabia and the UAE, implementing a crusher plant automation system price is a key consideration when moving toward semi‑ or fully‑automated production. Automation improves consistency, reduces labor costs, and enhances safety. Below we explain typical cost ranges, what influences the price, and how OCP Mechanical Company supplies scalable automation packages for new and existing plants.
What Determines the Crusher Plant Automation System Price
The crusher plant automation system price depends on the level of automation, number of equipment, and sensors required. A basic system for a 200‑300 tph plant includes:
PLC control panel with touchscreen HMI (human‑machine interface) – $8,000 – $15,000.
Level sensors for crusher feed hoppers and surge bins – $2,000 – $5,000.
Belt scales (3‑5 units) for throughput monitoring – $6,000 – $12,000.
Power draw monitors for crushers (jaw, cone, VSI) – $2,000 – $4,000.
Remote CCS adjustment for cone crusher (hydraulic valves and actuators) – $5,000 – $10,000.
VFDs for conveyors and screens (optional) – $1,500 – $3,000 per VFD.
A complete automation package for a medium‑sized plant typically ranges from $25,000 to $60,000 USD (ex‑works). For larger plants (500 tph+) or systems including remote monitoring and predictive maintenance, prices can reach $80,000‑$150,000.
OCP offers the Type A‑PLC automation system, modular and scalable for Type J, Type C, and Type V equipment. Note: Product data are constantly updated; for the latest specifications and price, please contact our online customer service.
Many quarries in Riyadh and Dubai have invested in automation packages within this range, reporting payback periods of 6‑12 months through labor savings and reduced downtime.
How Automation Reduces Operating Cost
While the crusher plant automation system price is an upfront investment, the long‑term savings are significant:
Lower operator headcount – One operator in a control room can replace three manual workers (saving $30,000‑$60,000 per year).
Reduced wear – Consistent choke‑feeding and power control extend liner life by 10‑20%.
Less downtime – Automatic alarms for bearing temperature, belt misalignment, and low oil pressure prevent catastrophic failures.
Energy savings – VFDs on conveyors and crushers can reduce electricity consumption by 8‑15%.
For a 300 tph plant running 5,000 hours per year, a $40,000 automation system often pays for itself in under one year through labor and energy savings alone.
