Customized Basalt Crushing Machine And Sand Making Plant
Basalt is a common non-metallic ore in the sand aggregate industry and has high application value in the construction, bridges, and roads industry. However, due to the nature of the high hardness of basalt itself, the basalt processing requires multiple processes like coarse crushing, medium crushing, and sand making. Various types of crushing equipment have different effects on basalt processing. Basalt crusher is a general term for a crusher capable of crushing basalt, and the crushing equipment includes a jaw crusher, cone crusher, sand-making machine, etc.
From the physical properties of basalt, it belongs to hard rock and has good compressive strength. If the equipment for crushing basalt is not the right one, it will cause severe wear and tear on the machine. Therefore, when crushing basalt, it is necessary to choose the right equipment, so what equipment is for crushing basalt?
Basalt processing machine
1. Crushing equipment
Basalt belongs to hard ores, so it is necessary to choose a wear-resistant crusher. The coarse-crushing process usually adopts a jaw crusher, while the fine-crushing stage adopts a cone crusher. Both belong to extrusion crushers, with strong compressive capacity and low wear during crushing. If the particle size of basalt raw materials is large, it will adopt a combination of the two crushers. If the particle size is small, there will only be a cone crusher.
Coarse crushing – jaw crusher
A jaw crusher is suitable for crushing high-hardness basalt, marble, river pebbles, etc.
Medium and fine crushing-single-cylinder/multi-cylinder hydraulic cone crusher
The cone crusher is specialized in crushing and processing hard stones, with a high hardness index of the processed materials. Therefore, when processing basalt, a cone crusher is a good choice, through laminated crushing, crushing basalt into medium to fine-sized particles.
2. Sand-making equipment
Sand-making equipment for crushing basalt from stones into sand to produce basalt sand. VSI sand-making machine adopts stone iron crushing chamber, with high efficiency, three-dimensional material particle shape, deep cavity rotor design, large throughput, hydraulic cover opening installation, convenient maintenance and repair, thin oil lubrication solution provide a wide speed range, good material particle shape, and meet the high-quality material demand in the construction field.
Sand making and shaping – vertical shaft impact crusher
The vertical impact crusher utilizes the principle of “stone hit stone” or “stone hit iron” to reshape materials (basalt), making their particle shape more round and more effective in the sand and gravel industry, with a high sand formation rate and finished product particle shape.
3. Feeding and conveying equipment
- The feeding equipment is responsible for feeding raw materials into the crushing chamber for crushing processing, which achieves uniform, continuous, and quantitative feeding, ensuring production from the source, and put in the previous process of the coarse crushing equipment.
- Conveying equipment: responsible for the transportation of materials between machines and the conveying of finished products. It is configured with corresponding specifications and quantities of conveyor belts according to processing needs, especially considering the terrain and terrain of the site, and built according to the terrain.
4. Mobile crusher
- There are two types of mobile crushers: Wheel and crawler mobile crushers, which walk and facilitate site transfer without requiring manual labor and material resources. They drive to the construction site and match with different host equipment according to different needs to process basalt, saving transportation equipment and reducing production costs.
Basalt is a good building material cause it has good compressive and wear resistance. The basalt sand production line crushes materials with larger particles into building stones. The rationality of the basalt production line is related to the production and processing costs, product quality, and economic benefits of the enterprise.
Basalt Construction Principles And Equipment Selection
1. Construction principles of basalt sand production line
- The basalt sand production line includes four steps: coarse crushing, medium crushing screening, fine crushing screening, and sand cleaning, among which there are various crushing and sand cleaning equipment. We need to choose equipment based on the hardness of the material and the compressive and wear resistance of the crushing equipment.
- Due to basalt’s high compression resistance and wear resistance, we generally choose jaw crushers as coarse crushing equipment, cone crushers, and sand-making machines as medium crushing equipment, and fine crushing and forming basalt equipment.
- We should choose machines according to product purity and material conversion rate requirements. The bucket-type sand washer has a low sand washing loss rate and a high material conversion rate, and the spiral sand washer with high product cleanliness and a low material conversion rate.
2. Equipment selection for basalt sand production line
- The production capacity of the equipment model for the basalt sand production line should meet the production requirements. The model of the impact crusher should determined based on the raw material particle size of basalt and the feeding particle size of the impact crusher. The feeding and discharging particle sizes will influence the choices for the model of the impact crusher. Many basalt sand-making machine production lines meet the demand. At this point, it is necessary to calculate the cost-effectiveness based on multi-factors such as equipment price, investment, and returns during the stone crushing process.
- Based on the physical properties of basalt, such as hardness, wear resistance, etc.. We recommend using the following equipment in basalt: jaw crusher, cone crusher, sand making machine, wheel-bucket sand washing machine, vibrating feeder, circular vibrating screen, and belt conveyor to achieve sand making. As for the models of this equipment, we should choose machines according to your actual situation.
200TPH Basalt Sand-Making Process Plant
This flow chart is for a 200TPH basalt sand-making washing plant.
Material: Granite, hard stones, etc
Capacity:200tph
Input size: under 600mm
Output size:0-5mm,5-10mm
- The material first goes to the hopper, and then the granite material falls into a vibrating feeder( DN590*110 )because of the height difference.
- The vibrating feeder transports the material to the jaw crusher(PE-750*1060) for the first crushing.
- After first crushing, the output from the jaw crusher transports to the secondary crushing machine compound cone crusher(DN1400) by belt conveyor to get a smaller size.
- Then the smaller size goes the two-layer vibrating screen(2YD2160) to get 3 product, screen mesh size 35mm and 5mm, the first size over 35mm go back to the cone crusher for crushing to a small size, and the second middle size 5-35mm transport to transit hopper by belt conveyor to sand making machine (DN9000)to get fine material and goes to second vibrating screen(2YD2470), and third size 0-5mm material transport to second vibrating screen(2YD2470).
- When the material gets to the second vibrating screen(2YD2470) with mesh sizes 10mm and 5mm, the material over 10mm goes back to the transit hopper to the sand-making machine(DN9000), the 5-10mm material goes the first output product, the size second output 0-5mm go to the sand washing machine to get a clean product. And get the final output size 0-5mm,5-10mm.
