Clay minerals mining involves excavation, crushing, screening, and grinding to produce fine aggregates for construction, ceramics, and industrial applications. A well-designed crushing and sand-making line ensures high efficiency and product quality.
1. Jaw Crusher (Primary Crushing)
– Model: JC-1200

2. Impact Crusher (Secondary Crushing)
– Model: PF-1315
– Feed Size: ≤500mm
– Capacity: 100-280 t/h
– Power: 220 kW

3. Sand Maker (Fine Crushing)
– Model: VSI-1140
– Feed Size: ≤50mm
– Capacity: 60-180 t/h
– Power: 250 kW
4. Vibrating Screen
– Model: 3YK-2460
– Screen Layers: 3
– Capacity: 80-400 t/h
1. Excavated clay is fed into the jaw crusher for primary crushing.
2. Semi-processed material enters the impact crusher for secondary reduction.
3. Screened aggregates are sent to the sand maker for fine shaping.
4. Final products are classified by particle size (0-5mm, 5-10mm, etc.).
Q1: What is the moisture tolerance for clay crushing?
A: Optimal moisture content should be below 15% to prevent clogging.
Q2: How to reduce dust in clay processing?
A: Install water spray systems or dust collectors at transfer points.

Q3: What maintenance is required for crushers?
A: Regularly check wear parts (liners, blow bars) and lubricate bearings every 500 hours.
