Basalt, with a typical density of 2.8-3.0 g/cm³, is widely used in construction due to its high compressive strength and durability. For producing 5mm basalt aggregate, a specialized crushing and sand-making production line is essential.
The production line typically includes:
1. Primary Jaw Crusher (PE600×900)
– Feed size: ≤500mm
– Capacity: 50-160 t/h
2. Secondary Cone Crusher (HPT300)
– Closed-side setting: 19-38mm
– Capacity: 120-250 t/h
3. Tertiary Impact Crusher (VSI6X1263)
– Max feed size: 50mm
– Output size: 0-5mm adjustable
| Equipment | Model | Power(kW) | Output(t/h) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Jaw Crusher | PE600×900 | 75 | 50-160 |
| Cone Crusher | HPT300 | 220 | 120-250 |
| Sand Maker | VSI6X1263 | 315×2 | 200-380 |
| Vibrating Screen | 3YK3070 | 30×2 | – |
Raw basalt → Primary crushing → Secondary crushing → Screening → Tertiary shaping → Final screening → Finished product (0-5mm)
Q1: What’s the bulk density of 5mm basalt aggregate?
A: Approximately 1.6-1.8 t/m³ depending on grading.

Q2: How to control the particle shape?
A: Using VSI crushers with rock-on-rock crushing principle ensures cubic particles.
