Step 1: Crushing and Screening

Large manganese ore blocks are uniformly fed into a jaw crusher or coarse crushing mobile station for coarse crushing by a vibrating feeder; After coarse crushing, the manganese ore is sieved by a vibrating screen and then transported by a belt conveyor to a single cylinder hydraulic cone crusher for intermediate crushing; The manganese ore after intermediate crushing is sent to a multi cylinder hydraulic cone crusher for fine crushing.

Step 2: Grinding

The crushed material enters the grinding machine for fine grinding, and forms a closed-loop cycle with the powder selection machine. Unqualified materials are automatically returned for further grinding.

Stage 3: Beneficiation

Depending on the properties of the manganese minerals and associated impurities, gravity separation, magnetic separation, flotation, or combined processes are selected to obtain manganese concentrate.

Metal Ore Processing Equipment

Taking manganese ore processing as an example, and targeting the strong wear characteristics of various high-hardness metal ores (including iron, copper, tungsten, etc.), we have innovatively developed a full range of specialized equipment solutions:

1. C6X jaw crusher

The C6X jaw crusher is a new generation of high output, high intelligence, and low-energy coarse crushing equipment developed by Shibang, with a single processing capacity of up to 1500t/h.

Core Advantages:

• V-shaped crushing chamber: The actual feeding size is larger, resulting in higher crushing efficiency;
• Removable and unwelded frame: avoids stress concentration and has a more reliable structure;
• Integrated electromechanical combination: saving installation and infrastructure costs;
• Hydraulic wedge adjustment: One click online adjustment, saving time, effort, and safety;
• Fully automatic lubrication system: reduces maintenance time and lowers operation and maintenance costs.

2. HPT multi cylinder hydraulic cone crusher

HPT multi cylinder hydraulic cone crusher is a high-performance medium and fine crushing product developed and produced independently for the crushing of hard aggregates and metal ores, with a single machine processing capacity of up to 1200t/h.

Core Advantages:

• Laminated crushing technology: high crushing efficiency, low wear, and excellent particle size of finished products;
• True multi cylinder structure: stronger load-bearing capacity, higher rotational speed, and greater production capacity;
• Intelligent control system: real-time monitoring, stable regulation, reducing operational risks;
• Fully hydraulic operation: automatic adjustment of iron passing and chamber cleaning, reducing unplanned downtime.

3. HST single cylinder hydraulic cone crusher

As a professional equipment that integrates mechanical, hydraulic, electrical, and intelligent control, HST single cylinder hydraulic cone breaker is designed specifically for high hardness materials, with a single machine production capacity of up to 2130 tons/hour.

Core Advantages:

• Principle of laminated crushing: high crushing efficiency, low wear and tear of wear-resistant parts, and excellent particle size of finished products;
• New positive pressure dust prevention: extending the service life of lubricating oil and bearings, reducing maintenance costs;
• Constant production capacity liner structure: While increasing production capacity, it also extends the liner life and increases enterprise efficiency;
• Intelligent control system: Real time monitoring of operating parameters, fully hydraulic iron passing and chamber cleaning, simple and safe operation.

4. VSI Vertical Shaft Impact Crusher

The VSI vertical shaft impact crusher is a fine crushing device with independent core intellectual property rights, with a single-machine processing capacity of up to 1500 t/h.

Core Advantages:

• Four-port deep cavity rotor: effectively avoids material blockage and greatly improves production efficiency;
• Dual-mode switching: quickly switches between “rock-on-rock” and “rock-on-iron” chamber types to meet different material needs;
• Intelligent lubrication system: thin oil lubrication + air cooling + PLC control, automatic shutdown in case of failure, safe and worry-free;
• Convenient maintenance: hydraulic lifting feed hopper + lifting arm configuration, shortening maintenance time.
