Small Stone Crusher Prices in Kenya 2026

On construction sites in Kenya, small crushers have become the preferred equipment for many contractors and entrepreneurs. However, the market is flooded with handmade, rudimentary crushers and secondhand modified equipment, and these seemingly economical options often bring more problems. This article analyzes the three major pain points faced by handmade or secondhand equipment, introduces the currently popular professional small crushers in Kenya and their price range, and explains how to obtain accurate quotes.

1. Common Pain Points of Local Crushing Equipment

Three Major Problems Users Encounter with Handmade or Secondhand Modified Crusher in Many Quarries and Small Construction Sites in Kenya:

 ● These crushers may use incorrect crushing angles and worn jaw plates, resulting in poor particle shape and flaky texture. You cannot sell the crushed stone to high-end projects (such as highways or skyscrapers).

 ● Some equipment is made of low-carbon steel instead of wear-resistant manganese steel. This will cost you more in replacement parts and welding than the cost of crushing the stone itself.

 ●  Unstable power supply in remote areas affects the normal operation of the equipment.

2. Recommended Professional Small Crusher and Price Range

To produce high-quality, high-priced cubic crushed stone, you need professional equipment. Below are some of the most popular crusher types on the Kenyan market and their prices.

Option A: Small Diesel Jaw Crusher

This is the best-selling model of small stone crushers, suitable for crushing hard stones such as black basalt, granite, river pebbles, and gold ore.

● Advantages: Uses high-manganese steel (Mn13Cr2) jaw plates, with a service life 3-4 times longer than local steel.

● Key Features: Equipped with a diesel engine (Changchai or Weichai), allowing crushing operations even without electricity.

● Capacity: 1-50 tons/hour (TPH).

● Estimated Price: $2,500-$16,500 (depending on model, e.g., PE-250x400).

Option B: Hammer Crusher (for soft stone)

Hammer crusher mill is suitable for limestone (agricultural/cement) or bricks, concrete, etc.

● Advantages: High crushing ratio. Can crush medium-sized stones into powder or small gravel in one step.

● Warning: Not recommended for use on hard, abrasive rocks, as the hammers will wear out quickly.

● Estimated Price: $1,500 - $4,500

Option C: Portable Mobile Crushing Plant

● Advantages: The portable stone crusher is integrated design. No concrete foundation required. Simply tow it to the site with a pickup truck to start crushing.

● Estimated Price: $8,000 - $18,000

3. How to Get an Accurate Quote and Start Importing

The prices above are estimates. To obtain the final site-to-coast cost in Kenya, you will need a customized solution. Baichi Machinery focuses on providing flexible configuration options for East African customers.

Step 1: Customize Your Configuration

We don't just sell machines; we provide solutions. Tell us your needs, and we can configure for you:

● Power Source: Diesel engine (for remote areas) or electric motor (for areas with power).

● Combination A (Basic): Vibrating feeder + jaw crusher (ensures uniform feeding and extends machine life).

● Combination B (Complete): Jaw Crusher + Vibrating Screen (automatically separates dust, 1/2-inch and 3/4-inch stones).

● Installation: Wheeled steel frame (mobile) or skid-mounted (stationary).

Step 2: We Help You Solve the "Clerical Dilemma"

We understand that importing into Kenya requires strict adherence to the regulations of the Kenya Bureau of Standards (KEBS). Many buyers worry about goods being stranded at Mombasa Port. Baichy Machinery eliminates this risk by:

 FAQ: Common Questions About Small Stone Crushers in Kenya

1. Why is there a price difference between imported crushers and local "Jua Kali" machines?

It comes down to durability. Local machines are often made from soft scrap metal and break frequently. Professional imported crushers use High Manganese Steel wear parts, which last 3-4 times longer and produce consistent stone shapes, saving you money on repairs and downtime.

2. My quarry site has no electricity. Can I still use a stone crusher?

Yes! We specialize in Diesel Engine Crushers (using reliable brands like Changchai) specifically for off-grid Kenyan sites. We can also mount the crusher on a mobile trailer, making it a "plug-and-play" solution that doesn't rely on KPLC power.

3. What is the total cost to get the machine to my site (Landed Cost)?

The online price is usually FOB (machine only). To calculate the full cost, you must add Sea Freight to Mombasa, Import Duty (approx. 25%), and VAT (16%). Baichy Machinery provides the necessary PVOC/COC documents to ensure your clearing agent can process the import smoothly.

4. Which small crusher is best for making Ballast (Kokoto) from hard stone?

For hard materials like River Stone or Black Trap, the PE-Series Jaw Crusher is the best choice. Unlike Hammer crushers which create too much dust (waste), Jaw crushers produce clean, cubical "Kokoto" that meets high-quality construction standards and sells for a better price.
