What types of crushing equipment are used in mining operations

Within the mining equipment sector, numerous types of crushing machinery exist, each possessing distinct functions and crushing capacities. What key equipment combinations form the core of a complete mining production line? Below is a detailed breakdown of specific crusher types. Commonly available mining crushers on the market include: jaw crushers, impact crushers, hammer crushers, mobile crushers, sand makers, etc. Prices vary significantly across these different categories.

1. Primary Crushing - Jaw Crusher:

The jaw crusher operates primarily through the interlocking action of moving and stationary jaw plates. It enjoys extensive application due to its high crushing ratio, simple structure, and ease of maintenance.

Feed Size: ≤1200mm

Discharge Range: 10-50mm, 50-200mm, 200-350mm

2. Cone Crusher/Impact Crusher - Secondary Crushing: The choice for secondary crushing in sand production typically depends on material hardness. For instance, impact crushers excel at processing softer materials, while cone crushers are better suited for harder materials. Only with the correct equipment selection can its value be fully realised. Generally, an impact crusher is sufficient for most materials. Below are the parameters for the impact crusher.

Feed size: ≤1300mm

Output range: <250–<800

3. Sand maker – sand production equipment: This constitutes the core production stage, directly determining final product quality. Equipment capable of both sand production and shaping is generally recommended. OCP Heavy Industry offers three series of sand makers, capable of processing aggregates into 0–5mm sand. The discharge opening can be freely adjusted to meet industry-specific sand specifications.

Feed size: ≤60mm

Output range: 2.5-3.5mm, 3.5-5mm, ≥5mm

The above specifications are subject to adjustment with product development and upgrades. For the latest technical parameters of crushing and sand-making equipment, please contact our website customer service for consultation. 24-hour online support is available free of charge.
