Kenya’s gold deposits are primarily found in western regions, notably Migori, Kakamega, and Siaya counties. These areas host greenstone belts with significant artisanal and commercial mining potential.
To process gold-bearing ore into high-quality sand and aggregates, a robust crushing and sand-making line is essential. Key equipment includes:
1. Jaw Crusher: Primary crushing (Feed size: ≤1,200mm; Output: 150–300mm).
2. Cone Crusher: Secondary crushing (Capacity: 50–1,000TPH; Output: ≤30mm).
3. Vertical Shaft Impact (VSI) Crusher: Sand shaping (Capacity: 60–520TPH; Final product: 0–5mm).
| Equipment | Model | Capacity (TPH) | Power (kW) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Jaw Crusher | PE-600×900 | 50–160 | 75 |
| Cone Crusher | CS160 | 120–400 | 160 |
| VSI Crusher | S8-1145 | 200–500 | (250–400)x2 |
High-frequency screens (Output: 3–5mm) and log washers remove impurities, ensuring clean aggregates for construction or further mineral processing.
Q1: Can this line process hard rock like granite?
Yes, cone crushers and VSI are ideal for high-abrasion materials.
Q2: What’s the lifespan of wear parts?
Manganese jaws last ~6 months; VSI rotors require replacement every 800–1,200 hours.
