In Tanzania, especially in the Artisanal and Small-scale Mining sector, large stationary plants are often too expensive and impractical. Small scale stone crushers have become the standard because:
● Diesel Options: Power outages are common in remote mining areas. Small crushers can easily be equipped with diesel engines or generators.
● Portability: Many sites in Mwanza or Chunya are hard to access. A small crusher (like the PE-250x400) can be loaded onto a small truck or even moved by a team of workers.
● Low Initial Investment: You don’t need millions of Shillings to start. The Return on Investment (ROI) is fast.
However, in the face of a wide variety of equipment types and ambiguous price information in the market, how can one make a wise decision? This article aims to provide you with a clear overview and guide you on how to effectively obtain accurate quotations.
1. Best-Selling Small Crusher Types & Price Ranges

● Configuration: Jaw Crusher + Vibrating Screen + Diesel Engine
● Estimated Price Range: $8,000 - $25,000 USD
● Why buy it: No installation needed. Pull it to the site and start working immediately.
2. Understanding the price composition and preparing for inquiries
In Tanzania, the total cost of ownership for a small crushing equipment includes:
● Manufacturer's suggested retail price of the equipment.
● Shipping fees and insurance.
● Tanzania's import duties, value-added taxes, and other customs clearance fees.
Domestic transportation and installation and commissioning fees.
● Subsequent cost for replacement of vulnerable parts.
Therefore, any "price" that is not based on specific configurations, after-sales terms, and trade conditions is inaccurate. We strongly recommend that you prepare the following information before contacting any supplier (including us at Baichy Machinery), as this will help you obtain the most comparable and accurate quotations:
● The types and hardness of the materials to be processed.
● The expected size of the incoming materials and the required particle size of the finished product.
● Expected hourly output (tons per hour).
● Project location and estimated working period.
● Power supply situation (whether dependent on diesel generators)

People Also Frequently Asked For - FAQ
1. How much does a small stone crusher cost?
The price varies depending on the specific model and configuration, ranging from several thousand dollars to tens of thousands of dollars. The most accurate quotation requires you to provide the type of stone, production volume, and finished product specifications. Please let us know your requirements, and we will calculate the estimated cost including shipping to your port.
2. How many tons can be produced in one hour?
Output is directly related to the hardness of the stones and the size of the feed and discharge. For instance, a medium-sized equipment can crush medium-hard stones at a production rate of approximately 10 to 50 tons per hour.
3. Is the operation and maintenance complicated?
The operation is simple. One or two workers with basic training can get started. Daily maintenance mainly involves regular oiling and checking for wear on vulnerable parts. It is recommended to prepare a set of common vulnerable parts (such as jaw plates) when purchasing the machine to facilitate quick replacement and reduce downtime.
4. Are there after-sales services and spare parts available in Tanzania?
We offer round-the-clock online technical support and have established a common spare parts warehouse with local partners, ensuring that you can quickly obtain the core consumables and guarantee the continuous operation of the equipment.
