Iron Ore Beneficiation Plants in India: Crushing and Sand Making Solutions

India’s iron ore beneficiation plants require robust crushing and sand-making equipment to process raw materials efficiently. A well-designed production line typically includes jaw crushers, cone crushers, VSI crushers, and vibrating screens to produce high-quality aggregates.

Key Equipment for Iron Ore Processing

1. Primary Jaw Crusher: Handles large-sized iron ore (up to 1500mm feed size) with capacities ranging from 50-800TPH.
2. Secondary Cone Crusher: For medium-fine crushing (output size 20-50mm), featuring hydraulic adjustment and overload protection.
3. Tertiary VSI Crusher: Produces cubical sand (0-5mm) with high gradation for concrete applications.

Equipment Model Example Capacity Power
Jaw Crusher PE750×1060 80-240t/h 110kW
Cone Crusher HPT300 120-350t/h 315kW
VSI Crusher S8-1145 200-500t/h 250kW×2
Screening Machine 3YK3072 200-800t/h 37kW×2

Project Case: Odisha Iron Ore Plant Upgrade (2023)

A major Indian steel producer upgraded their existing facility with:
– Two-stage crushing system reducing 1000mm ore to 25mm
– Sand recovery unit producing 300TPH of manufactured sand
– Dust suppression system meeting CPCB norms
Resulted in 18% increase in overall plant efficiency.
