Cone crushing
We are the UK’s specialist national contractor for earthmoving, crushing and recycling, and sea and coastal defence works.
For secondary and tertiary refinement stages
Cone crushing provides the secondary and tertiary refinement stage within engineered crushing circuits. Designed to produce accurately graded aggregates, cone crushers deliver controlled reduction with high output consistency.
At OEC, cone crushing operations are structured to sustain, protect and enhance. We sustain resources by converting primary crushed material into reusable aggregates. We protect product quality through calibrated settings and controlled feed rates. We enhance commercial outcomes by delivering specification-compliant outputs that reduce reliance on imported materials.
Our tracked mobile secondary cone crushers are deployed following jaw crushing or direct primary feed, depending on material characteristics. Adjustable closed-side settings allow precise control over finished product size, making cone crushing ideal for producing:
- Single-size aggregates
- Sub-base materials
- Structural fill
- Rail ballast grading
Consistent feed regulation is essential to maintaining output quality and protecting plant performance. OEC integrates scalping screens and controlled stockpile management to optimise throughput and reduce unnecessary wear.
Operating across national infrastructure and development projects, we configure cone crushing circuits to suit both recycled demolition materials and primary quarried stone. Integrated screening ensures accurate separation and minimal oversize recirculation.
All loading shovels are equipped with on-board weigh loaders and printers, ensuring accurate material measurement and transparent reporting. Excavators operate with pulverisers, hydraulic breakers and magnets, enabling efficient material segregation and preparation prior to processing.
The result is a high-quality aggregate product delivered with disciplined operational control. As part of a wider recycling strategy or standalone contract service, our cone crushing capability provides precision, reliability and engineered efficiency on complex sites.

Frequently Asked Questions
Need to Know More?
Cone crushing is used as a secondary or tertiary stage in crushing circuits to refine pre-crushed material into accurately graded aggregates. It provides controlled size reduction and consistent output, making it essential for producing specification-ready construction materials.
Ovenden Earthmoving Co Ltd (OEC) provides mobile cone crushing services across the UK as part of integrated crushing and recycling operations. We process both primary quarried stone and recycled demolition materials to produce single-size aggregates, sub-base, structural fill and ballast-grade products.
OEC maintains product consistency through controlled feed regulation, calibrated closed-side settings and integrated screening systems. This ensures precise aggregate sizing, reduces oversize recirculation and delivers reliable, specification-compliant materials suitable for infrastructure and construction projects.
