The Jindal Steel and Power Limited (JSPL) beneficiation plant in Barbil, Odisha, utilizes advanced crushing and sand-making technology to process iron ore into high-quality aggregates. The production line integrates jaw crushers, cone crushers, VSI sand makers, and vibrating screens to achieve efficient size reduction and gradation control.
| Equipment | Model | Capacity (TPH) | Power (kW) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Primary Jaw Crusher | JC110 | 150-300 | 132 |
| Secondary Cone Crusher | HPT300 | 100-200 | 315 |
| Tertiary VSI Crusher | S8-1145 | 50-120 | 250 |
| Vibrating Screen | 3YK3070 | – | 15×2 |

1. Primary Crushing: Raw iron ore is fed into the jaw crusher for coarse crushing (<150mm).
2. Screening:A scalping screen separates oversized material for re-crushing.
3. Tertiary Shaping:The VSI crusher produces cubical aggregates with ≤5% flakiness.
The plant employs dry screening and dust suppression systems to minimize water usage and airborne particulates. Recycled water accounts for 85% of total consumption.

A 2023 retrofit replaced conventional roller crushers with multi-cylinder hydraulic cone crushers, increasing yield by 22% while reducing energy consumption by 18%.
*Q: What is the typical product size range?*
