For barite processing plants, selecting the right primary crusher is critical to achieving optimal particle size reduction and downstream efficiency. Jaw crushers (PE/PEX series) and gyratory crushers are typically preferred for their high compression strength capabilities (up to 320 MPa).
Key equipment in a barite crushing-sand making line:
1. Primary Crusher: PE-600×900 Jaw Crusher (Feed opening: 600×900mm, Max feed: 500mm)
2. Secondary Crusher: HPT300 Cone Crusher
3. Tertiary Crusher: VSI6X1150 Sand Maker (Capacity: 280-380tph)
4. Screening: 3YK3075 Vibrating Screen (3 decks, 50-800t/h)
| Model | Feed Size(mm) | Discharge(mm) | Power(kW) |
|---|---|---|---|
| PE-600×900 | ≤500 | 65-160 | 75 |
| HPT300 | ≤240 | 19-38 | 315 |
| VSI6X1150 | ≤55 | 0-5(adjustable) | 400×2 |
Q1: Why does barite require multi-stage crushing?
A: Barite has a Mohs hardness of 3-3.5 but contains silica impurities requiring progressive size reduction.

Q2: How to prevent crusher blockage with sticky barite ore?
A: Preheat raw material below 100°C or install hydraulic clearing systems.
