Pakistan’s growing infrastructure demands high-quality sand and aggregates, driving the need for efficient crushing and sand-making lines. A well-designed copper processing plant often integrates such lines to produce construction-grade materials from ore waste or tailings.
1. Jaw Crusher (Primary Crushing)
– Model: PE600×900
– Feed Size: ≤500mm
– Capacity: 50–160 t/h
– Power: 55–75 kW
2. Cone Crusher (Secondary Crushing)
– Model: HPT300
– Max Feed Size: 240mm
– Capacity: 120–400 t/h
– Power: 315 kW
3. Vertical Shaft Impact Crusher (Sand Making)
– Model: VSI6X1150
– Throughput: 200–500 t/h
– Output Size: 0–5mm (adjustable)
Raw copper ore waste → Jaw Crusher (coarse crushing) → Cone Crusher (fine crushing) → VSI Crusher (sand shaping) → Vibrating Screen (grading) → Finished sand/aggregates.
Q1: Can copper tailings be used for sand production?
A: Yes, after proper crushing and screening, tailings meet ASTM C33 standards for construction sand.
Q2: What’s the lifespan of wear parts in VSI crushers?
A: Tungsten carbide tips last ~300 hours under high-abrasion conditions; regular rotor inspection is advised.
Project: Sindh Copper Plant, Pakistan (2023)
Output: 250 t/h manufactured sand from tailings.
Equipment Used: PE600×900 Jaw Crusher + HPT300 Cone Crusher + VSI6X1150 Sand Maker.
