Basalt, a dense volcanic rock with high compressive strength (200-300 MPa) and abrasion resistance, is ideal for high-quality aggregates. Its dark color and angular particle shape make it popular for construction, road base, and concrete mixtures.
A typical basalt crushing line includes:
1. Primary Jaw Crusher: Breaks large basalt blocks (≤1200mm) into 150-300mm pieces. Example model: JC5460 (Feed opening: 1400×1100mm, Capacity: 800-1000 t/h).
2. Secondary Cone Crusher: Further reduces size to 40-70mm. Recommended: HPT300 (Max feed: 230mm, Power: 315kW).
3. Tertiary Impact Crusher (for sand-making): Produces 0-5mm cubical particles. Model: VSI6X1263 (Throughput: 250-380 t/h).
| Equipment | Model | Max Feed Size | Capacity | Power |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Jaw Crusher | JC5460 | 1200mm | 800-1000 t/h | 400kW |
| Cone Crusher | HPT300 | 230mm | 250-500 t/h | 315kW |
| VSI Crusher | VSI6X1263 | 50mm | 250-380 t/h | (2×250)kW |
Multi-layer vibrating screens (e.g., 3YK3070) separate aggregates into 0-5mm (sand), 5-10mm, 10-20mm, and 20-40mm fractions. Moisture content should be <3% for dry screening.
