how to get a super cost-effective crushing line to sell to Africa

100tph mining production line, maximum feed size 10 inches, discharge 1/2 inch, 3/4 inch and sand, cone crusher is required for the second stage crushing, how to get a super cost-effective crushing line to sell to Africa

To build a super cost-effective crushing production line with 100TPH, feed ≤10 inches (250mm), discharge 1/2 inch (12mm), 3/4 inch (20mm) and machine-made sand (0-5mm), and use cone crusher as the second stage crushing, and sell it to the African market at the same time, it is necessary to comprehensively consider the local working conditions, cost control, equipment adaptability and after-sales service in Africa. The following is the optimal solution:

1. Analysis of key needs in the African market

Budget sensitivity: African customers generally pursue low cost and high return, and are extremely sensitive to price.

 

Unstable power: Voltage is unstable in many areas, and even rely on diesel generators.

 

Weak maintenance ability: There are few local technical workers, and the equipment must be simple, durable and easy to repair.

 

Diverse raw materials: from limestone to granite, the equipment needs to adapt to medium hardness materials.

 

Transportation & tariffs: The cost of shipping from China to Africa is high, and a compact design is needed to reduce logistics costs.

 

2. Ultra-high cost-effective production line solution (for Africa)

 

1. Rough crushing stage (jaw crusher)

 

Equipment model: PE500750 (enhanced version)

 

Reason: simple structure, easy maintenance, suitable for African working conditions.

 

Feed: ≤450mm

 

Discharge: ≤150mm (adjustable)

 

Power: 55kW (adaptable to diesel engine drive)

 

2. Secondary crushing (cone crusher, mandatory)

 

Equipment model: PYB900 spring cone crusher

 

Reason: high cost-effectiveness, suitable for African maintenance level

 

Feed: ≤105mm

 

Discharge: 10-40mm (adjustable, direct production of some machine-made sand)

 

Power: 55kW (supports diesel power generation)

 

3. Screening system (key cost reduction link)

 

Equipment model: 3YK1860 (three-layer vibrating screen)

 

Screen configuration:

 

Upper layer: 20mm (3/4" aggregate)

 

Middle layer: 12mm (1/2" aggregate)

 

Bottom layer: 5mm (machine-made sand)

 

Closed-circuit design: >20mm returns to the cone crusher to improve efficiency.

 

4. Sand making plan (low-cost strategy)

 

Option 1 (most cost-saving): Cone crusher directly produces sand

Adjust the cone crusher closed side discharge port ≤10mm, so that part of the discharge is ≤5mm.

 

Advantages: Save sand making machine (save $50,000+).

 

Disadvantages: Low sand production (about 10-20TPH).

 

Option 2 (recommended balanced solution): small impact crusher

Equipment model: VSI7611 (domestic)

 

Feed: 5-20mm (from screening)

Discharge: 0-5mm high-quality sand

Power: 180kW (diesel-driven)

 

FOB China price (excluding African shipping, tariffs, and installation).

 

4. Special optimization strategies for the African market

1. Equipment adapted to African working conditions

Diesel engine drive options: Jaw crusher, cone crusher, and sand making machine can all be adapted to diesel engine sets (+

 

Rust-proof treatment: Special anti-corrosion spraying is required for shipping to Africa to avoid salt spray corrosion.

 

Wear-resistant parts upgrade: Jaw plate and cone crusher mortar wall are made of high chromium alloy to extend life.

 

2. Reduce shipping & tariff costs

Compact design: Reduce equipment size and reduce container costs.

 

Semi-assembled shipment: Vibrating screen and conveyor belt can be disassembled to save shipping space.

 

Choose low-tariff countries for assembly: such as Egypt and Kenya, where tariffs in some countries are <5%.

 

3. After-sales service guarantee

Local agent cooperation: Set up spare parts warehouses in Nigeria, South Africa, Kenya and other places.

 

Remote guidance and maintenance: Provide WhatsApp/WeChat online technical support.

 

Key spare parts set: Randomly come with jaw plate, cone crusher liner, screen and other wearing parts.

 

5. Marketing strategy (how to sell to African customers?)

Main price advantage: Compared with European and American brands, emphasize "Same performance, half the price".

 

Installment plan: Cooperate with China-Africa Cooperation Bank to provide 30% down payment + 12 months installment.

 

Success case display: Play videos of customer production lines in Ethiopia and Zambia to enhance trust.

 

Free trial service: Invite customers to the Chinese factory for trial, or provide local trial points in Africa.

 

Core selling points:

✅ 50% cheaper than European and American brands

✅ Adapt to diesel power generation, not afraid of power outages

✅ Easy to maintain, spare parts localized in Africa

✅ Closed-circuit design, saving electricity and cost

According to this plan, you can create a highly competitive African crushing production line and quickly occupy the market!
