2. Iron Ore Crushing and Beneficiation Project
The customer's fine crushing workshop initially used outdated spring cone crushers, which faced issues such as insufficient capacity and high circulating load, preventing them from meeting the requirement to process approximately 13 million tons of iron ore annually. As a solution, the customer purchased the HPT300 and HPT500 multi-cylinder hydraulic cone crushers from SBM for the fine crushing workshop transformation project.
After conducting comparative tests of different systems, data revealed that the processing capacity of SBM's HPT crushers reached 1.9 times that of the original crushers, significantly improving the particle size distribution of the crushed product. The transformation effect was remarkably evident. Currently, the production line continues to operate at high intensity, with SBM's HPT multi-cylinder hydraulic cone crushers maintaining low failure and maintenance rates, successfully completing the majority of iron concentrate production tasks.
3. Non-Ferrous Lithium Ore Crushing and Beneficiation Project
The customer processes lithium ore (one of the main components is lithium mica). The traditional solution generally uses a high-pressure roller mill in the ultra-fine crushing stage, and the high-pressure roller mill has a very high -0.5mm content, which is very unfavorable for the re-selection of lithium mica. Therefore, the customer hopes to seek other alternatives to reduce the -0.5mm particle size content in the lithium mica crushing product.
After receiving the customer's request, SBM comprehensively considered the owner's production needs, special material properties and subsequent beneficiation process requirements, and recommended the use of an impact crusher instead of a high-pressure roller mill, and conducted incoming material processing tests on behalf of the customer. The final experimental data showed that the -0.5mm product content produced by impact crushing was about 43% lower than that produced by high-pressure roller mill. The effect of using SBM impact crusher instead of high-pressure roller mill was far beyond expectations. The customer was very satisfied with the technical transformation process and SBM's professional services.
SBM will continue to focus on technological and process innovations, enhance its competitiveness, and contribute to the sustainable development of the metal mining industry.
