For aggregate producers and quarry operators, selecting a suitable crushing plant is not simply about choosing individual crushers. A complete production line needs to coordinate feeding, primary crushing, secondary crushing and screening so that material can move through the system in a stable and controlled way.
This case involves an Ethiopian customer who selected a 150 TPH stationary crushing plant. The complete configuration includes a GZT0932 vibrating feeder, PE6090 jaw crusher, PF1214 impact crusher and 3YK1848 circular vibrating screen.
The equipment combination provides a conventional and practical crushing and screening process for a medium-capacity stationary plant.

Raw Material → GZT0932 Vibrating Feeder → PE6090 Jaw Crusher → PF1214 Impact Crusher → 3YK1848 Vibrating Screen → Finished Aggregates
The exact final product sizes depend on the raw material characteristics, crusher settings, screen configuration and the customer’s production requirements.
A 150 TPH crushing plant is suitable for projects that require a medium-scale and relatively stable aggregate production system. Compared with a mobile crushing plant, a stationary plant is normally installed at a fixed location and can be designed around the long-term production requirements of a quarry or aggregate processing site. For this Ethiopian project, the production line combines:
Continuous feeding
Primary size reduction
Secondary crushing
Final screening
This allows the equipment to work as an integrated crushing and screening system rather than as separate machines. The key principle is equipment matching. The capacity of the complete plant is affected not only by the crusher itself, but also by feeding conditions, material characteristics, screening efficiency, crusher settings and the overall process design.
The GZT0932 vibrating feeder is installed at the beginning of the crushing process. Its main function is to transfer raw material from the feeding area to the primary crusher at a controlled and continuous rate. Stable feeding is important because fluctuations in material flow can affect the operating conditions of the jaw crusher and the downstream equipment. The vibrating feeder therefore acts as an important link between the raw material feeding system and the primary crushing stage.
Raw Material → GZT0932 Vibrating Feeder → PE6090 Jaw Crusher
By maintaining a more consistent feed, the feeder helps coordinate the first stage of the production line.
The PE6090 jaw crusher serves as the primary crusher in this 150 TPH stationary crushing plant. A jaw crusher is commonly used at the primary crushing stage because it can reduce relatively large feed material into a smaller size suitable for subsequent processing. In this project, material from the GZT0932 vibrating feeder enters the PE6090 jaw crusher for the first major size-reduction stage.
The primary crushing stage mainly focuses on:
Reducing the size of large stones
Preparing material for secondary crushing
Establishing a stable feed for the impact crusher
Supporting the overall material flow of the plant
The actual feed size and discharge setting should be determined according to the project’s raw material and final product requirements.
After primary crushing, the material moves to the PF1214 impact crusher. The impact crusher performs the secondary crushing stage by using impact force to further reduce the material.
The combination of a jaw crusher and an impact crusher is commonly used in aggregate crushing systems where the process requires both primary size reduction and subsequent secondary crushing. Similar jaw-and-impact configurations are used in 150 TPH-class crushing and screening plants.
The PF1214 is positioned after the jaw crusher because the material has already undergone primary size reduction. At this stage, the impact crusher further processes the material before it enters the screening system. The final result depends on factors including:
Feed material characteristics
Feed size
Crusher settings
Rotor and blow bar condition
Required product size
Operating conditions
Therefore, the actual output should always be evaluated according to the complete plant configuration rather than the nominal capacity of a single machine.
The 3YK1848 circular vibrating screen is used for the screening stage.
After secondary crushing, the crushed material needs to be separated according to particle size.
The vibrating screen separates the material into different size fractions according to the selected screen openings.
Separate crushed material by size
Remove material that meets the required specification
Send oversized material for further processing when a return circuit is included
Help maintain consistent product gradation
The exact number and size of final aggregate products depend on the screen deck configuration and the customer’s requirements.
The complete process can be summarized as follows:
Raw material is loaded into the feeding system and transferred to the GZT0932 vibrating feeder.
The feeder delivers the material to the PE6090 jaw crusher, where the large material undergoes primary crushing.
The material from the jaw crusher is transferred to the PF1214 impact crusher for further size reduction.
The crushed material enters the 3YK1848 circular vibrating screen.
The screen separates the material according to the required particle-size ranges.
The qualified material is collected as finished aggregate, while oversized material can be returned for further crushing when the plant is designed with a closed-circuit configuration.
One of the most important factors when designing a crushing plant is the coordination between different machines. A plant cannot be evaluated simply by looking at the rated capacity of the jaw crusher or impact crusher. For example, even if a crusher has a theoretical capacity higher than 150 TPH, the complete production line may not continuously achieve the same output under all conditions. Factors that can influence actual production include:
Raw material hardness
Material abrasiveness
Moisture content
Feed size
Crusher settings
Screen opening
Feeding stability
Material circulation
Operator settings
Maintenance condition
For this reason, the 150 TPH figure should be understood as the designed plant capacity, while actual production depends on the complete operating conditions.
This approach is consistent with how real crushing plant performance should be evaluated rather than treating a nominal machine capacity as a guaranteed plant output.
The configuration of this project has several practical characteristics.
The production line follows a straightforward process:
Feeding → Primary Crushing → Secondary Crushing → Screening
This makes the process easy to understand and manage.
The PE6090 jaw crusher performs primary crushing, while the PF1214 impact crusher handles secondary crushing.
This two-stage crushing arrangement allows the material to be progressively reduced before screening.
The 3YK1848 vibrating screen provides a dedicated screening stage for separating crushed material by size.
As a stationary crushing plant, the equipment can be arranged according to the specific site conditions, material flow and production requirements.
The combination of feeder, jaw crusher, impact crusher and vibrating screen represents a common configuration for aggregate crushing and screening applications.
Before selecting equipment, customers should provide as much project information as possible.
The type of stone or mineral has a direct influence on crusher selection. Important information includes:
Material type
Hardness
Abrasiveness
Moisture
Maximum feed size
The target production capacity should be clearly defined.
For this project, the designed capacity is 150 TPH.
The required aggregate sizes determine the selection and configuration of the crushing and screening equipment.
For example, a customer may require several aggregate fractions for different construction applications.
For a stationary plant, the site layout is also important. The installation area should provide sufficient space for:
Raw material feeding
Crusher installation
Screening
Conveyors
Finished product stockpiles
Equipment maintenance
Wear parts such as jaw plates, blow bars and screen components should be considered during the plant design stage. Regular inspection and timely replacement of wear parts can help maintain stable plant operation.
For the Ethiopian customer, the selected configuration integrates four key equipment groups:
GZT0932 Vibrating Feeder
↓
PE6090 Jaw Crusher
↓
PF1214 Impact Crusher
↓
3YK1848 Circular Vibrating Screen
Instead of selecting equipment independently, the plant is configured as a complete crushing and screening system.
This is important for medium-capacity aggregate projects because the performance of the complete production line depends on how well the individual machines work together.
