Price of cone crusher for graphite ore 88 tph in Sri Lanka

For graphite mining in Sri Lanka’s renowned deposits – particularly in the Kahatagaha, Bogala, and Ragedara regions – a 88 tph cone crusher is a key asset for secondary or tertiary crushing. Graphite is soft to medium‑hard (Mohs 1‑2) but can be abrasive when associated with hard gangue minerals. A cone crusher produces a consistent, cubical product with minimal fines over‑grinding, which is important for preserving large flake graphite. Understanding the price of cone crusher for graphite ore 88 tph in Sri Lanka helps you budget for a machine that delivers reliable performance with low operating costs. OCP Mechanical Company, a factory‑direct manufacturer with over 40 years of experience, supplies Type C cone crushers designed for industrial mineral applications, backed by 24/7 online support.

Why a short‑head cone crusher is a practical choice for graphite

Graphite ore is often crushed to a P80 of 6‑12 mm before flotation or grinding. A short‑head cone crusher with a fine cavity and hydraulic CSS adjustment is a widely used configuration. For 88 tph, a Type C-88 short‑head cone crusher (90‑132 kW motor) operating at a CSS of 6‑10 mm can reliably deliver 80‑100 tph of minus 8‑12 mm product. The hydraulic CSS adjustment allows operators to compensate for liner wear and maintain product size – a valuable advantage for consistent flake retention. Many Sri Lankan graphite operations have successfully used this crusher size, reporting stable throughput and acceptable liner wear.

Key features that lower your cost per ton of graphite

When you evaluate the price of cone crusher for graphite ore 88 tph in Sri Lanka, focus on features that directly affect operating expenses. Hydraulic CSS adjustment allows remote setting changes in under two minutes, reducing downtime. For graphite with low abrasion, standard Mn14% liners typically last 1,500‑2,500 hours. If your ore contains quartz or other hard inclusions, upgrading to Mn18%+Cr offers 30‑50% longer life (2,000‑3,500 hours). A variable frequency drive (VFD) saves 8‑12% on electricity by optimizing eccentric speed. A dust seal kit with air purge protects internal components from fine graphite dust, which can be conductive. An optional automatic lubrication system reduces manual maintenance.

Compared to other suppliers, OCP’s factory‑direct model typically saves 15‑20% on both the crusher and genuine wear parts, with predictable annual maintenance costs.

Price range and delivery to Sri Lanka

The price of cone crusher for graphite ore 88 tph in Sri Lanka ex‑works for a Type C-88 short‑head crusher with hydraulic CSS and Mn14% liners ranges from $45,000to$70,000 USD. Upgrading to Mn18%+Cr liners adds $2,000‑$4,000. A VFD adds $3,000‑$6,000. Shipping to Colombo port (CIF) adds $5,000‑$10,000. A starter set of liners, dust seals, and hydraulic filters adds $2,500‑$4,000. Total landed cost (excluding import duties and VAT) is approximately $55,000‑$90,000 USD.

Many Sri Lankan graphite operations have recovered the crusher investment within 12‑24 months through improved flotation recovery and reduced recirculation.

Operational tips for graphite crushing in Sri Lanka

Graphite dust is fine and can be conductive. Install a dust collection system (bag filter) at the crusher discharge to meet safety and environmental standards. Avoid water sprays, as wet graphite can become slippery and cause feed issues. Maintain a choke‑fed condition to distribute wear evenly. Set the CSS at 6‑10 mm for typical graphite; if preserving large flakes is critical, use a slightly wider CSS (10‑12 mm) and rely on downstream screening. Inspect the dust seal regularly – graphite dust can penetrate seals if they are worn. Keep a spare set of dust seals and hydraulic filters on site. For operations in Sri Lanka’s tropical climate, ensure the hydraulic oil cooler is clean and functioning.
