Limestone mainly consists of calcium carbonate, which serves as a key raw material in the production of cement and concrete aggregates. So, what kind of equipment is required to process crushed limestone? How much does a complete set of limestone crushed stone production line equipment cost?

The jaw crusher is primarily used for the initial crushing of limestone. It operates based on the compression crushing principle and features a deep V-shaped crushing chamber without dead zones, significantly improving its throughput. The jaw crusher is equipped with oversized bearings and forged spindles, enabling it to withstand greater crushing forces. Combined with an optimized flywheel system, it effectively minimizes vibration, ensuring smoother operation. Additionally, it integrates hydraulic technology, delivering stable and reliable performance with minimal risk of failure. The adjustable gasket design at the discharge port allows for precise control over the final product size, ensuring consistent quality and a full range of specifications.

The impact crusher is typically positioned after the jaw crusher in a limestone crushing production line and is mainly used for medium and fine crushing. After processing, the materials are mostly cubic in shape with minimal stone powder. Additionally, the gap between the impact plate and the hammer can be easily adjusted, allowing for effective control over the size of the output particles.

The vertical shaft impact crusher features two working modes: “stone beat stone” and “stone beat iron”, making it suitable for both sand production and material shaping. The final product has a particle size of less than 4.7mm, available in coarse, medium, and fine sand grades. The deep cavity impeller design increases throughput by 30%, significantly improving work efficiency. In addition, the final product has an excellent particle shape, uniform size, and a low percentage of needle-like and flaky particles, meeting the quality standards for construction sand. Therefore, if customers have higher requirements for the particle size of crushed limestone, this crusher can be a great choice.

Setting up a complete limestone crushing production line requires various types of equipment and involves multiple cost factors. When planning and executing such a project, it is important for companies to carefully consider expenses across several areas, including equipment purchasing, installation and commissioning, transportation, civil construction, as well as ongoing operation and maintenance. Making thoughtful choices regarding equipment and suppliers will help ensure efficiency and long-term success.
