Indonesia Coal Mining Geologist’s Guide to Crushing & Sand Making Lines

For coal mining geologists in Indonesia, optimizing overburden processing into high-quality aggregates requires tailored crushing and sand-making solutions. Here’s a technical breakdown of key equipment and configurations:

Core Equipment Selection

1. Primary Jaw Crusher
– Model: JC98 (Feed size: ≤600mm, Capacity: 150-350t/h)
– Handles coarse crushing of excavated rock with high abrasion resistance.

2. Secondary Cone Crusher
– Model: HPT300 (Max feed: 240mm, Output size: 19-38mm adjustable)
– Hydraulic adjustment ensures consistent particle shape for concrete aggregates.

3. Tertiary Impact Crusher/VSI
– Model: VSI6X1263 (Throughput: 250-380t/h, Sand yield: 30-50%)
– Produces machine-made sand meeting ASTM C33 standards.

Typical Configuration Parameters

| Equipment | Power (kW) | Weight (t) | Output Size Range |
|———–|————|————|——————-|
| JC98 | 132 | 28 | 50-150mm |
| HPT300 | 315 | 26 | 19-38mm |
| VSI6X1263 | 400×2 | 18 | 0-5mm |

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: How to handle clay-rich overburden?
*A:* Pre-screening with grizzly bars (>50mm spacing) + log washers reduce clay content before crushing.

Q2: Power supply solutions for remote sites?
*A:* Diesel-hydraulic drive options available for primary crushers (e.g., JC98-D model).
