A small mobile unit might start around $50,000, while a high-capacity stationary plant with full ancillary systems can exceed $300,000. Remember, the cheapest capital cost often leads to the highest long-term operational cost. Prioritize value and reliability over the lowest initial price.\"> Prices vary dramatically based on output and automation.
