Iron Ore Beneficiation Plant Utilization

Iron ore beneficiation plants are critical for upgrading low-grade ore into high-quality raw materials for steel production. A well-designed crushing and sand-making line ensures efficient processing, reducing waste and maximizing resource utilization.

Key Equipment for Crushing & Sand-Making Line

1. Primary Jaw Crusher: Handles large-sized iron ore (≤1200mm), with a capacity of 50-800 TPH. Output size: 150-300mm.
2. Secondary Cone Crusher: Fine crushing to 20-70mm, equipped with hydraulic adjustment for precise control.
3. Tertiary Impact Crusher/VSI Sand Maker: Produces 0-5mm sand for concrete or asphalt aggregates. VSI crushers achieve high cubicity (≥90%).

Equipment Model Example Capacity (TPH) Power (kW)
Jaw Crusher PE750×1060 80-220 110
Cone Crusher HPT300 90-350 315
VSI Crusher S8-1145 100-260 250×2

Screening & Washing Solutions

Vibrating screens (e.g., 3YK3070) separate crushed ore into fractions, while log washers remove clay impurities. Sand recovery units recycle fine particles (>0.075mm) with >95% efficiency.

FAQ Highlights

Q: How to reduce over-crushing?
A: Optimize crusher settings and adopt multi-stage screening.

Q: What’s the lifespan of wear parts?
A: Mn18Cr2 jaw plates last ~6 months under 500 TPH workload; VSI rotors require replacement every 800-1200 hours.
