Ethiopia's booming construction and mining industry, along with infrastructure projects and industrial parks, has driven strong demand for crushers. However, for Ethiopian investors, purchasing crushers involves more than just looking at the price tag. They face unique challenges: extremely hard basalt, frequent power outages, and complex import processes involving foreign exchange shortages and letter of credit regulations.
Many investors ask us, "How much do crushers cost in Ethiopia?" The honest answer is far more than a single number. This guide will provide a detailed analysis of the cost of the best crusher equipment for Ethiopian basalt, address your power supply issues, and explain how Baichy Machinery can help you meet the requirements of the National Bank of Ethiopia and ensure your machines arrive safely at the construction site.

The extremely high hardness and abrasiveness of basalt necessitate robust, wear-resistant equipment. Therefore, for basalt, you need crushers with high compression ratios. Below are three recommended crushers and their estimated price ranges.
This is the first step in any stone crushing line. Jaw crusher takes large boulders (up to 500mm-1000mm) and breaks them down to medium size. We use High Manganese Steel (Mn13Cr2) jaw plates. This material hardens under impact, making it perfect for resisting the abrasiveness of local Basalt.
● Popular Models: PE-400×600, PE500X750, PE-600×900. PE750X1060
● Estimated Price Range: $6,500 – $55,000 USD (Depending on capacity: 15 TPH to 300 TPH).
After the Jaw crusher,Cone Crusher for Basalt is goog choice. Unlike Impact crushers that use blow bars (which wear out in 2 days on Basalt), Cone crushers use a "lamination principle" to crush stone. It produces excellent cubic shapes required for high-grade concrete in Addis Ababa infrastructure projects.
● Types: Symons Cone (Cheaper, reliable) or Hydraulic Cone (Higher efficiency, automated).
● Estimated Price Range: $35,000 – $85,000 USD.

This new type mobile crushing plant integrates jaw crusher, cone crusher, vibrating screen, and conveyor into a single unit—crushes basalt from raw stone to finished aggregate on-site. It doesn't need civil work and could be put into production quickly. Thousands of Birr on concrete foundations are saved.
● Mobility: Move easily between different quarry sites in Amhara or Tigray.
● Estimated Price Range: $80,000 – $200,000+ USD.
We know that outside of the main industrial zones, electricity in Ethiopia can be unstable. A blackout means your production stops, but your workers still need to be paid.
Baichy Machinery offers two specific solutions for the Ethiopian market:
For standalone small crushers (like a PE-250×400 Jaw Crusher), we remove the electric motor and install a powerful Diesel Engine directly.
● Brand: We use famous brands like Changchai or Weichai.
● Advantage: Spare parts for these engines are easily found in local markets like Merkato. You don't need to import filters or pistons from China.
● Popular Model: PE 250×400 diesel jaw crusher (10-20 tph) – priced at 32,000 – 45,000, with local service support for engines.
For a 100 TPH complete crushing line (Jaw + Cone + Screen), a single diesel engine is not enough. We provide a Diesel Generator Set (Genset) to power the entire plant.
● Integration: We mount the generator on the same skid or trailer as the crusher, creating a fully self-sufficient power island.
● Generator Sizing: 150-500 kVA generators (brands like Cummins and Weichai) match the crusher’s power demand, ensuring stable operation.
● Price Reference: 150 kVA (USD22,000 – 35,000 ), 300 kVA (USD45,000 – 65,000), 500 kVA (USD75,000 – 95,000).
