Iron ore processing requires robust crushing and sand-making equipment to produce high-quality aggregates for construction and industrial applications. A typical production line includes primary crushing, secondary crushing, sand-making, screening, and washing stages.
1. Jaw Crusher (Primary Crushing)
– Model: PE-600×900
– Feed Size: ≤500mm
– Capacity: 50-160 t/h
– Power: 55-75 kW
2. Cone Crusher (Secondary Crushing)
– Model: HPT300
– Feed Size: ≤240mm
– Capacity: 120-400 t/h
– Power: 220 kW
3. Vertical Shaft Impact Crusher (Sand-Making)
– Model: VSI6X1150
– Feed Size: ≤50mm
– Capacity: 200-500 t/h
– Power: 250 kW
4. Vibrating Screen
– Model: 3YK3070
– Screen Layers: 3
– Capacity: 100-500 t/h
The iron ore is first crushed by a jaw crusher, then further reduced by a cone crusher. The sand-maker shapes the particles into uniform aggregates, while the vibrating screen separates them into different sizes. Final products include coarse aggregates (5-20mm), fine aggregates (0-5mm), and manufactured sand.
Q1: What is the ideal moisture content for iron ore crushing?
A: Below 5% to avoid clogging.
Q2: How to reduce wear on crusher liners?
A: Use high-manganese steel liners and monitor feed size uniformity.
A project in Australia processed 500 t/h of iron ore using PE-900×1200 jaw crusher, HPT400 cone crusher, and VSI6X1263 sand-maker. The final output achieved 95% utilization rate with 0-5mm sand meeting ISO standards for concrete production.
