material handling from furnace to crusher

Material Handling System: From Furnace to Crusher in Aggregate Production

A robust material handling system is critical for transporting slag, clinker, or other furnace byproducts to crushers in sand/aggregate production lines. This process directly impacts crushing efficiency and final product quality.

Key Equipment Configuration

The typical system includes:
1. Vibrating Feeders (Capacity: 50-800t/h)
2. Belt Conveyors (Width: 500-1400mm)
3. Heavy-duty Impact Crushers (Feed size: ≤800mm, Output: 50-500t/h)
4. Dust Suppression Units (Water consumption: 0.5-3m³/h)

Equipment Model Example Key Parameters
Impact Crusher PF-1520 Rotor Φ1500×2000mm, Power 315-400kW
Vibrating Feeder GZD-1500×6000 Capacity 400-600t/h, Vibration force 25kN
Conveyor Belt B1400 Belt width 1400mm, Speed 1.6-2.5m/s

Process Optimization Points

• Pre-screening before crushing reduces wear
• Magnetic separation for ferrous materials
• Temperature monitoring for hot materials (>200°C requires special belts)

FAQ Section

Q: How to handle sticky materials from furnaces?
A: Install scrapers on conveyor belts and use heated chutes.

Q: Recommended crusher for high-temperature slag?
A: Water-cooled rotor impact crushers with Mn-steel liners.
