Bentonite quarry operations require specialized equipment to process raw ore into high-quality sand and aggregates. A typical production line includes primary crushing, secondary crushing, sand making, screening, and washing systems.
| Equipment | Model | Capacity (t/h) | Power (kW) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Jaw Crusher | PE-600×900 | 50-120 | 75 |
| Cone Crusher | HPT300 | 80-180 | 220 |
| Sand Maker | VSI6X1263 | 70-280 | 315×2 |
| Vibrating Screen | 3YK3070 | 55 | |
1. Primary crushing with jaw crusher reduces bentonite to ≤150mm
2. Secondary crushing with cone crusher produces ≤40mm material
3. Sand making creates 0-5mm particles meeting ASTM C33 standards
4. Multi-layer screening separates aggregates into 5 specifications
5. Wheel sand washer removes impurities (<1% clay content)
Q: What’s the bentonite processing capacity per hour?
A: Standard lines process 100-300t/h depending on configuration.
Q: How to control powder content in finished sand?
A: Our systems maintain <10% powder via optimized air screening.
Q: Equipment maintenance interval?
A: Crushers require lubrication every 8 hours; full inspection weekly.
