What machine should be used to crush basalt?

Basalt is a material with high hardness and high silicon content. It is a material that is more difficult to crush and has a higher cost in actual crushing operations. Therefore, the basalt crushing process must be designed reasonably. While considering the investment cost of the crushing project, the production cost of the production line must also be considered.

In the crushing operation of basalt, the loss of the crusher is very high. Therefore, in the design of the crushing process, the crushing equipment of the lamination principle should be selected as much as possible to reduce the loss of wear parts. A typical lamination equipment configuration is a two-stage jaw crusher or jaw crusher plus cone crusher process configuration.

If the customer has higher requirements for the final stone type, it can be equipped with an impact crusher for integral crushing, thus forming a three-stage crushing process configuration. Three-stage crushing will inevitably lead to higher investment costs for the project, but for long-term operation of the stone plant, the three-stage crushing has a considerable reduction in production costs.

For stone materials that are more difficult to break like basalt, the two-stage crushing process of jaw crusher and impact crusher can also be used. However, this will inevitably lead to problems such as high hammer loss due to counterattack, short hammer life, and high proportion of counter materials. These are issues that deserve the attention of manufacturers and customers.

If the market has certain requirements for the particle size of the finished stone, and the user wants to reduce the cost of wearing parts, the jaw crusher/cone crusher can be considered as one-stage crushing and two-stage crushing, and the impact crusher is placed in the third In the broken position, it mainly serves the purpose of shaping. This not only reduces the wear cost of counterattack, but also obtains good-sized stones.
