The iron ore mining process in Australia typically involves drilling, blasting, hauling, crushing, and screening. Key equipment includes jaw crushers, cone crushers, and vibrating screens for primary and secondary crushing. The crushed ore is then transported to beneficiation plants for further processing.
Core equipment for iron ore processing:
1. Primary Jaw Crusher: C6X Series (Feed size: ≤1,200mm, Capacity: 160-1,500t/h)
2. Secondary Cone Crusher: HPT Multi-cylinder (Max feed: 350mm, Capacity: 120-700t/h)
3. Vibrating Screen: S5X Series (Layers: 1-3, Screening area: 8.75-25.5m²)
| Equipment | Key Parameters |
|---|---|
| C6X Jaw Crusher | Motor power: 160-400kW |
| HPT Cone Crusher | Cavity type: Standard/Fine/Short Head |
| S5X Screen | Amplitude: 4.5-6mm |
Q1: What’s the typical output size after primary crushing?
A: Usually 150-300mm depending on crusher settings.
Q2: How to handle wet sticky ore?
A: Pre-screening with heavy-duty scalpers or adding drying systems.
