Crushing Equipment For Processing Basalt_mobile Gravel Production Line

Basalt is a good natural stone with high durability, high temperature resistance, and strong compressive resistance, which makes it popular in the engineering field. Basalt generally needs to be crushed and processed into 05, 12, 13 stone sizes and machine-made sand before it can be used in construction. However, the hardness of basalt is relatively high. If it is processed rashly using a general crusher, not only the output and quality will not meet the requirements, but it may also increase losses and production costs. So what kind of crushing equipment is needed to process basalt? Today, this article will give you a brief introduction.

What Crushing Equipment Is Needed To Process Basalt

As a good raw material, no matter what the basalt is used for after processing (whether it is to make fiber, or to refine cast stone, or to process sand and gravel aggregate), the basalt stone needs to be crushed first. For fiber, cast stone and other uses, basalt does not require high crushing technology, as long as it is crushed into small stones, while for the use of sand and gravel aggregate, basalt has relatively fine crushing requirements. Usually, the coarse aggregate particle size processed from basalt is below 40mm (mainly 10-20mm, 20-31.5mm crushed stone), and must also meet the requirements of grading and grade.

In the crushing process of basalt, the crushing equipment often used are:

Jaw crusher: Features deep cavity design, large throughput; extrusion crushing, high processing efficiency; adjustable discharge, feed particle size ≤1200mm, and hourly output of more than 1500 tons.

Cone crusher: The nemesis of high-hardness stone crushing (mainly focusing on fine crushing of hard stone), deep cavity design, high output, feed particle size ≤580mm, and hourly output of about 2000 tons.

Impact crusher: It has both "stone hitting stone" and "stone hitting iron" crushing principles. It mainly processes basalt for sand making and has shaping function, which can improve the particle shape of the finished product. The feed size is generally less than 5 cm, and the hourly output can reach about 600 tons.

The whole crushing process of basalt:

Large pieces of basalt are fed to the jaw crusher evenly and continuously through the feeder (coarsely broken to 50-60 cm), and then sent to the cone crusher through the conveyor belt for fine crushing to about 20-30 cm. The finely crushed basalt goes directly to the vibrating screen for screening (if you want to get 12 or 13 stones, then this step is the last process, and the finished product is after screening). If you want to get machine-made sand, the screened stones (except the finished stones that meet the specifications) need to enter the impact crusher for shaping and sand making, and finally sent to the finished product pile through the vibrating screen (dry sand making) or sand washing machine (wet sand making) and conveyor.

150 Tons/Hour Mobile Gravel Production Line

In recent years, in the sand and gravel production industry, there is a kind of mechanical equipment that is like a tornado and has become a household name overnight - mobile gravel production line. Mobile gravel production line, also called mobile crusher, has a production capacity between 40-400t/h. Many customers who invest in 100t/h, 150t/h, 200t/h, 300t/h sand and gravel plants are more willing to choose mobile crushers. The main reasons are:

Advantages of use:

1. Mobile crushers have strong adaptability. Whether it is processing basalt in the narrow and cramped space of urban construction sites, or processing basalt on uninhabited and stone mountains far away from the city, mobile crushers can crush it calmly, and there are not many requirements for the working environment (the site area does not require a large area, the working terrain does not require a flat surface, and the road conditions do not require too good, etc.).

2. Mobile crushers are more economical. The machine does not need to lay a foundation. It can work when stopped and move when folded. Although the initial purchase of mobile crushers may be relatively expensive, compared with the foundation of fixed production lines, it can still save customers a lot, especially the later material transportation costs. Mobile crushers can change the operation site at any time according to the processing progress of materials, without the need to transport materials back and forth. This saved cost is a considerable expense when accumulated over a long period of time.

The 150 tons/hour mobile gravel production line is flexible, convenient, and easy to use, which are all real benefits. Not to mention that the current investment users like it, many customers who have opened factories for a long time have also withdrawn the old production lines and replaced them with new mobile gravel crushers. If you are planning to invest in a sand and gravel plant, a stone plant, a construction waste treatment plant, etc. at this stage, please call us to consult about our mobile crusher.

As a high-quality building raw material, basalt has a high price in the market for both gravel and machine-made sand after processing, and the overall profit is considerable. It is an industry worthy of our investment.
