Egypt’s booming construction sector drives demand for high-quality aggregates. Modern aggregate processing plants typically include crushing, screening, washing, and conveying systems to produce sand and gravel for concrete, asphalt, and infrastructure projects.
1. Primary Crusher: Jaw crushers (e.g., 600×900mm feed opening) handle large rocks (<500mm). Output: 50-300 t/h.
2. Secondary Crusher: Cone crushers (like HP200) refine material to 20-50mm with hydraulic adjustment.
3. Tertiary Crusher: Vertical shaft impactors (VSI) produce cubic-shaped sand (0-5mm) at 70-150 t/h.
4. Screening: Multi-deck vibratory screens separate 3-4 fractions (e.g., 0-5mm, 5-20mm).
| Equipment | Model | Capacity (t/h) | Power (kW) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Jaw Crusher | PE750×1060 | 110-250 | 110 |
| Cone Crusher | HPT200 | 90-180 | 160 |
| VSI Crusher | S8 | 100-150 | 250 |
Water recycling systems reduce consumption by 80%. Dust suppression units comply with local environmental regulations (e.g., Law 4/1994). Solar-powered conveyors are being tested in Sinai projects.
Q: What’s the typical lifespan of wear parts?
A: Jaw plates last ~6 months in granite crushing; VSI rotors ~1,500 hours.
Q: How to handle high-moisture clay?
A: Add log washers or scrubbers before primary crushing.
