Crushing Tailored
For You!

Hiring DeFeo Materials or any professional crushing crew ensures you get a consistent, spec-quality product. Crushing isn’t just running a machine; it takes trained operators, support equipment, and experience to maximize production, minimize downtime, and stay compliant with safety and environmental rules. By the time you factor in labor, training, fuel, and maintenance, hiring a custom crusher is often more cost-effective than renting.

This is an answer that varies by the day. It depends on factors such as; how far the shot rock is from the crushers, how many times the material has to be handled, and the hardness of the rock. The softer the rock the more dust and less usable material you will get. It takes months of analyzing many factors such as operating costs, fuel consumption, repairs and maintenance, and weighted averages of finished product produced. If you have read this far, you should hire a custom crushing company.

Crushers are extremely expensive machines often starting at $25,000 per month for entry level machines to $45,000 per month for higher capacity options. This does not include any of the screening equipment, excavators to feed the crushers, stackers, loaders, dust control, tools, and keep in mind you need two crushers to make most usable products in the construction aggregate industry.

Looking to get into crushing for yourself? Make sure that the encouraging factor is not the salesman at the dealership. Just the capital purchase alone, of an average jaw crusher is around $800,000 brand new. Keep in mind, you cannot produce any product smaller than 3" without a cone crusher. The average cone crusher costs around $1,00,000 brand new.

Some quarries product a tremendous amount of crushed material daily. However, the equipment takes up acres of property. The equipment offered by DeFeo Materials is portable, and can crush up to 2,500 tons per day depending on the requested sizing. In a normal scenario, where a customer is requesting sellable products we would produce around 1,000 tons per day. No matter what the job requires, we can handle it.
