Which crusher is suitable for basalt？

Basalt features high hardness and strong abrasiveness. Its crushing process follows a standard flow: primary crushing, secondary & fine crushing, then shaping and sand making.
Based on the physical properties of basalt, Shibang designs efficient and wear-resistant crushing solutions mainly equipped with jaw crushers, cone crushers and vertical shaft impact crushers, together with intelligent control systems. The final finished products have good grain shape and stable production capacity.

1. Primary Crushing: C6X & PEW Series Jaw Crusher

The C6X series jaw crusher is the top choice for primary basalt crushing, and the PEW European style jaw crusher is also available.
It adopts deep crushing cavity design. High-strength wear-resistant jaw plates perfectly fit hard basalt materials. This machine boasts large crushing ratio and strong impact resistance, capable of handling raw stones with size below 1500mm.

Integral cast steel bearing housing and heavy forged eccentric shaft ensure firm overall structure. Equipped with hydraulic discharge opening adjustment and hydraulic cavity cleaning functions, it can quickly solve material blockage and cut downtime effectively. It can produce qualified materials ranging from 50mm to 200mm for the next crushing stage.

2. Secondary & Fine Crushing: HST Single Cylinder & HPT Multi Cylinder Hydraulic Cone Crusher

Secondary and fine crushing is the key step in basalt processing. Shibang matches HST single cylinder cone crusher and HPT multi cylinder cone crusher. With laminated crushing technology, rocks break along their cleavage planes, which greatly reduces flaky particle content and delivers well-shaped aggregates.

It works for medium crushing. Feeding size ranges from 0 to 560mm, with hourly output from 45 tons to 2130 tons. It supports automatic control and multiple working modes with real-time load monitoring. Simple structure brings easy maintenance and low maintenance cost.

3. Shaping and Sand Making: VSI6X Vertical Shaft Impact Crusher

VSI6X vertical shaft impact crusher is ideal for aggregate shaping and artificial sand production. Its upgraded four-port impeller raises material passing capacity by around 20%.
Adopting rock-on-rock crushing mode, materials collide and break themselves inside the cavity. The finished products have round grain shape and reasonable gradation, with flaky particle content lower than 5%, fully meeting aggregate standards for high-grade highways and high-speed railways. Full thin oil lubrication extends service life of wearing parts and lowers overall operation cost.
