In the Philippines, various types of machines are used for crushing quarry stones, including:
- Jaw Crusher: A jaw crusher is a compression type of crusher, usually used as a primary crusher. It uses a stationary jaw and a movable jaw to reduce the size of large rocks into smaller pieces.
- Cone Crusher: A cone crusher is similar to a gyratory crusher, but it has a much shorter spindle with a larger diameter crushing surface relative to its vertical dimension.
- Impact Crusher: An impact crusher is a machine that uses striking as opposed to pressure to reduce the size of a material. Impact crushers are designated as a primary, secondary, tertiary or quarternary rotor crusher, depending on which processing stage the equipment is being utilized.
- Gyratory Crusher: A gyratory crusher is one of the main types of primary crushers in a mine or ore processing plant. Gyratory crushers are designated in size either by the gape and mantle diameter or by the size of the receiving opening.
The specific machine used will depend on the size of the quarry and the desired output.
