Turkey is a key producer of basalt, with abundant reserves and high-quality raw materials. To meet the growing demand for construction aggregates, local manufacturers have developed advanced crushing and sand-making production lines tailored for basalt processing.
A typical production line includes:
1. Primary Jaw Crusher: Processes large basalt blocks (≤1200mm) into smaller pieces (≤350mm). Example model: JC110 with 160-300t/h capacity.
2. Secondary Cone Crusher: Further crushes materials to ≤50mm. Hydraulic models like HPT300 offer high efficiency (70-400t/h).
3. Tertiary Impact Crusher (Optional): For shaping aggregates or producing 0-5mm sand. Model: VSI6X1263, output up to 500t/h.
4. Vibrating Screens: Multi-layer screens classify materials into 0-5mm, 5-10mm, 10-20mm, etc.
| Equipment | Model | Capacity (t/h) | Power (kW) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Jaw Crusher | JC110 | 160-300 | 132 |
| Cone Crusher | HPT300 | 70-400 | 315 |
| Sand Maker | VSI6X1263 | 500 | 400 |
Screens ensure precise particle size distribution for concrete or asphalt mixes. High-frequency screens like YKZ3070 handle up to 800t/h with 3-4 layers.
The final products meet international standards like EN 12620 (<5% flakiness index). Dust suppression systems minimize environmental impact.
A Turkish quarry in Izmir processes 800 tons/hour of basalt into premium aggregates for a highway project using this setup.
