Basalt is a mineral material with compressive strength, corrosion resistance, and wear resistance. It also has relatively high hardness, making it highly valuable for various commercial applications. Today, processed basalt stone materials are widely used not only in construction and interior decoration but also in industries such as railways, building materials, and engineering projects. So, what types of crushing equipment are suitable for processing basalt? And how much does a complete set cost? Let us provide you with the answers.
What crushing equipment is used for processing basalt?
Considering the physical properties of basalt, both jaw crushers and cone crushers are suitable for processing this material. Each type of equipment has its own unique features and advantages. A detailed introduction is provided below.
Production capacity: 1-1000 t/h, feed material ≤1500mm, output material: 10-350mm
The jaw crusher is one of the earliest types of mineral crushing equipment and is commonly used for primary crushing of basalt. It features a “V”-shaped crushing chamber, where the material begins to be crushed at the top of the chamber. With a large crushing ratio and powered by the squeezing action of two jaw plates, it offers strong crushing performance and efficient discharge that is not prone to clogging. The jaw plates are made from wear-resistant materials such as high-manganese steel and high-chromium iron, which significantly enhances their durability and extends their service life. Additionally, the discharge opening can be quickly and easily adjusted using wedge blocks, reducing labor intensity and improving operational convenience. Thanks to its adjustable settings, this crusher can produce basalt gravel of various particle sizes to meet different requirements.
Production capacity: 12-2181 t/h, feed material ≤560mm, output material: 6-54mm
Considering the Mohs hardness of basalt ranges from 5 to 7 and its SiO2 content is between 45% and 52%, impact crushers are generally not recommended for crushing this type of material. Instead, cone crushers are more commonly used for medium and fine crushing in the second and third stages. The cone crusher effectively combines a high crushing cavity with a high crushing frequency and features a fully automatic control system of PLC + touch screen interface, which significantly enhances its processing efficiency. Overall, the production capacity of cone crushers typically ranges from 55 to 2,181 tph, making it well-suited to meet the needs of most customers.
How much does a set of basalt crushing equipment cost?
The production capacity of basalt crushing lines typically ranges from 10 to 1,000 tons. Different capacity requirements require different models of crushing equipment, which naturally leads to variations in construction costs. Moreover, there are many manufacturers offering basalt crushing equipment, and prices may vary depending on the brand. To get an accurate quotation, we recommend consulting directly with the manufacturer based on your specific needs.
