There is no verified list price for the ТХ 11 roll crusher available in the current product data, so I cannot give you a figure without citing unconfirmed data. What I can tell you with engineering certainty is that the final cost of any roll crusher — including the TX 11 — is determined by around half a dozen site-specific factors, not by the machine’s name alone. Before you request a quote from any supplier, you need to specify your feed material, target output size and acceptable fines content. Without these three parameters, any price you receive is merely a preliminary figure that may vary significantly once the actual crushing requirements are known.
A roll crusher reduces material by compression between two cylindrical rolls rotating in opposite directions. Unlike a jaw or cone crusher, it does not rely on gyratory motion; the material is drawn into the gap between the rolls and crushed by direct pressure. This makes it a reliable producer of low-fines material when set up correctly — a useful feature if your market values a consistent crushed fraction rather than a high proportion of dust.
For a quarry manager, the key trade-off is simple: roll crushers offer precise control over the maximum particle size of the product, but they are less tolerant of large lumps in the feed and hard, abrasive rock than a cone or impact crusher. If your feed contains steel or other foreign material, you need a spring-loaded or floating roll design — and that affects both the price and the maintenance schedule.
As the verified specification sheet for the ТХ 11 is not available in the current editorial data, the table below is structured as a decision checklist. You must provide this information before any supplier can give you a meaningful quotation. Do not accept a quotation that omits this list — it will not stand up to scrutiny during commissioning.
| Input required | Why it matters | What you must confirm |
|---|---|---|
| Feed material type and hardness | Roll crushers cope well with soft to medium-hard material; hard, abrasive feed increases wear costs per tonne | Rock type, compressive strength, abrasion index — from a laboratory or field test |
| Maximum lump size of feed material | Roll gap physics limits the permissible feed rate; oversized lumps cause the rolls to stall | Largest dimension of the material entering the crusher, in millimetres |
| Moisture content | Sticky, wet feed can block the feed chute and reduce throughput | Percentage of surface moisture, measured at the point of loading |
| Required output fraction and maximum particle size | This sets the roll gap and the machine speed; it also determines the volume of fines | Target product size range and the permitted oversize percentage |
| Tonnage per hour (steady, not peak) | Rolls are rated for a duty cycle; oversizing the crusher increases the price, whilst undersizing creates bottlenecks | Average throughput over an 8-hour shift, with hourly peaks noted |
| Acceptable fines in the product | If fines make up a certain proportion of the reject material, you will need a different roll speed and possibly a screen after the crusher | Maximum fines as a percentage in your sales specification |
| On-site power supply | The motor size depends on the crushing load; single-phase operation or a weak grid restricts the choice of motor | Available voltage, phase and transformer capacity at the site |
Do not allow anyone to convert your tonnage figure into a machine size without the feed and product details shown in that table. A roll crusher quoted on the basis of tonnage alone is nothing more than a guess masquerading as a quote.
The editorial file for this topic is missing several verified records, and I will not make them up. To obtain a firm quotation and a sound selection, you or the SUHMAN applications engineer must provide the following:
These are gaps in the data, not optional details. A price quoted without them is not a price — it is a placeholder.
A roll crusher of the TX 11 class is suitable for secondary or tertiary crushing of soft to medium-hard materials such as limestone, coal, gypsum and certain ores, where the feed has already been pre-sized. It is a poor choice for primary crushing of large blasting-run rock, and it is not ideal for highly abrasive igneous rock unless you are prepared for frequent roll surface maintenance and higher costs for wear parts. If your material has a compressive strength above the mid-range of typical quarry stone, I would recommend a cone crusher or an impact crusher rather than using a roll crusher for a task for which it was not designed.
Do not use a TX 11 — or any roll crusher — if your operation requires a high reduction ratio in a single pass, meaning your feed is 300 mm or larger and your product must be under 25 mm. A roll crusher achieves a limited reduction per pass (typically 3:1 to 4:1), so attempting to process a large difference between feed and product sizes necessitates running multiple stages or recirculating a large load. In such cases, a properly configured jaw-and-cone line or an impactor with a closed-circuit system will result in lower operating costs per final tonne. The same applies to very sticky, clay-rich feed: rolls tend to become clogged and stall, whereas a slower-speed impactor or a grizzly screen would allow the material to pass through.
#### What determines the final price of a TX 11 roll crusher?
The price is determined by the required motor power, the width and diameter of the rolls, the grade of wear-resistant material, whether the rolls are fixed or floating (spring-loaded) to protect against foreign objects, and the control system. A machine designed for a hard, abrasive feed with high throughput requires thicker rolls, heavier bearings and a larger motor frame than one sized for soft limestone — and each of these factors adds to the cost. As the verified specification for the ТХ 11 is not included in the current data, you must ask the supplier to break the quotation down into these components rather than accepting a single lump-sum figure.
#### How do I know what capacity I need before getting a quote?
Measure your actual demand over a working shift, including peaks and downtime, not just the average of your truck dispatch records. Then add a margin for surges — typically 10 to 15 per cent above the measured peak, unless your site has a surge bin upstream of the crusher. If you already operate a crusher with a known output, use its recorded production figures, not the nameplate rating, as your basis. Feeding a roll crusher at a rate exceeding its design capacity accelerates wear on the roll surfaces and the bearings, so choosing a larger capacity is more cost-effective than having to carry out repairs.
#### What maintenance costs should I budget for on a roll crusher?
The main area requiring maintenance is the roll surface. When processing abrasive feed, you should expect to resurface or replace the rolls periodically; the interval depends entirely on the feed’s abrasion index and its moisture content. Bearings and seals are the second major cost factor — they fail prematurely if foreign metal passes through a non-floating roll design. Plan a maintenance budget for labour and parts per tonne of production, and ask the supplier for the recommended inspection interval in operating hours. Without a verified maintenance schedule for the ТХ 11, I cannot provide a per-tonne figure.
#### Can a roll crusher produce a clean, cubical product?
Roll crushers produce a more elongated product than a cone crusher with certain types of feed, because the compression action does not reshape flat or elongated particles that enter the gap from the side. If your market requires a strictly cubical shape for concrete aggregate, you may need a vertical shaft impactor after the roll crushers to shape the material. This represents an additional capital and operating cost that should be included in your total project budget, not just in the price of the crusher itself.
#### Is the TX 11 a good fit for a mobile or semi-mobile plant?
This is possible, provided the plant has adequate feed control and a screen upstream of the rolls to remove fines. Roll crushers perform best when fed with a consistent, pre-screened material; without this, the fine material reduces throughput and increases wear. If your operation is a fixed quarry with a steady feed, the machine is easier to justify. For a recycling site with varying feed characteristics, the operating envelope is more restricted, and you should verify the machine’s tolerances for variable feed before making a commitment.
Start by documenting your feed and product parameters using the checklist above, and only then approach a supplier for a written quotation for the ТХ 11. Ask for the quote to specify the assumed feed size, moisture content, material hardness and output specification — if the quote does not list these, it is not tailored to your site and will not stand up to real rock. Without verified capacity and pricing data in front of me, my honest view is this: a TX 11 may be the right machine for your secondary crushing stage, but the decision cannot be made responsibly on price alone until your feed and product conditions are set out in writing.
