flowchart of limestone processing

Limestone Processing Flowchart Overview

The limestone processing flowchart typically includes crushing, screening, grinding, and classification stages. Key equipment includes jaw crushers, impact crushers, cone crushers, vibrating screens, and sand makers. The process transforms raw limestone into construction-grade aggregates (0-5mm, 5-10mm, 10-20mm) or manufactured sand (<4.75mm).

Core Equipment Specifications

Equipment Model Capacity (t/h) Power (kW)
Jaw Crusher PE600×900 50-120 75
Cone Crusher HPT300 100-260 315
Vertical Shaft Impact Crusher VSI1140 120-180 250×2
Vibrating Screen 3YK3070 80-150 30×2

Production Line Configuration Example

A typical 200tph limestone sand production line might include:
1. Primary crushing: Vibrating feeder + Jaw crusher
2. Secondary crushing: Cone crusher + Circular vibrating screen
3. Tertiary shaping: VSI crusher + Fine sand recovery system
4. Finished product storage: Conveyor system + Silos

FAQ Section

Q: What’s the ideal feed size for limestone crushing?
A: For primary jaw crushers, ≤500mm is recommended to prevent blockages.

Q: How to control powder content in manufactured sand?
A: Use wet processing with screw classifiers or dry processing with air separators (target: <10%).

Q: Typical equipment lifespan?
A: Wear parts like crusher liners last 3-6 months; screens 6-12 months with proper maintenance.
