LATEST Bluestone Crusher: Answers to the Most Common User Questions

Bluestone, also known as limestone or bluestone sandstone in some regions, is widely used in road construction, concrete production, landscaping, and building materials. As demand for high-quality aggregates continues to grow, many customers want to know how to choose the right bluestone crusher and how to optimize production costs and efficiency. Below, we address the key questions users care about most.


1. What Type of Crusher Is Best for Bluestone?

The best crusher depends on the hardness, moisture, and final product requirements of the material. Popular options include:

  • Jaw Crusher – Ideal for primary crushing of large bluestone blocks.

  • Impact Crusher – Produces well-shaped aggregates; recommended for construction-grade materials.

  • Cone Crusher – Best for higher hardness bluestone or when stable, fine output is required.

  • VSI Sand Maker – Suitable for producing high-quality manufactured sand from bluestone.

Choosing the right equipment ensures higher efficiency and lower wear cost.


2. How Much Capacity Do I Need?

Capacity depends on your project scale.
Typical ranges include:

  • 50–150 T/H for small construction plants

  • 200–350 T/H for medium quarry sites

  • 500 T/H and above for large-scale mining operations

A complete production line often includes feeder, crusher, screen, and conveyor to ensure smooth, continuous operation.


3. How to Reduce Wear and Maintenance Costs?

Bluestone is relatively soft compared with granite, but still causes wear if equipment is poor quality.
To lower your cost:

  • Choose crushers with wear-resistant liners.

  • Maintain proper feeding rate; avoid overload.

  • Add dust control systems to protect bearings and components.

  • Use high-quality spare parts for longer service life.

Proper maintenance can reduce downtime by more than 30%.


4. What Final Sizes Can a Bluestone Crusher Produce?

Common output sizes include:

  • 0–5mm (sand)

  • 5–10mm, 10–20mm (fine aggregates)

  • 20–40mm (coarse aggregates)

Adjustable crusher settings allow flexible production to meet different engineering requirements.


5. Is It Energy-Efficient?

Modern bluestone crushers are designed with:

  • Optimized crushing chambers

  • Electric control systems

  • Intelligent lubrication and monitoring

  • High-efficiency motors

These can reduce energy consumption by 15–25% compared with traditional crushers.


6. Can You Provide a Complete Bluestone Crushing Solution?

Yes. A full solution includes:

  • Site planning

  • Equipment selection

  • 3D layout design

  • Installation guidance

  • Operation training

  • After-sales support

This ensures stable production and faster ROI.


A high-quality bluestone crusher helps users achieve better aggregate quality, stable production, lower energy consumption, and reduced maintenance costs. Whether you need jaw crushers, impact crushers, cone crushers, or a complete crushing line, choosing the right solution is the key to improving overall efficiency.

Annual production of 1.2 million tons of construction sand and gravel

Recently, the technical upgrading of the "1.2 million tons of construction sand and gravel per year" production line has officially entered the final stage. In the technical upgrading workshop, the orderly arranged production lines are running at high speed. The technical upgrading engineers are checking the various operating links in an orderly manner on the central control platform. The production line is completed in one go from feeding, crushing, screening, shaping to finished products.

Differences Between CIL and CIP Gold Extraction

Carbon In Leach (CIL) and Carbon In Pulp (CIP) are two commonly used methods in the gold extraction process. Although both methods involve the use of activated carbon to adsorb gold, there are significant differences in their operation processes, equipment layout, and application conditions. This article will explore the differences between CIL and CIP, highlighting their respective advantages, disadvantages.

240515.jpg

1. Basic Principles

1.1 Carbon In Leach (CIL)

The Carbon In Leach (CIL) process involves adding activated carbon directly into the leaching tanks where both leaching and adsorption occur simultaneously. The CIL process includes the following steps:

  • Crushing and grinding the gold ore into a pulp.

  • Mixing the pulp with sodium cyanide solution to dissolve the gold into a cyanide complex.

  • Adding activated carbon to the pulp during the leaching process, where the activated carbon adsorbs the dissolved gold.

  • After leaching and adsorption, the pulp undergoes solid-liquid separation to recover the gold-laden activated carbon.

  • The gold-laden activated carbon undergoes desorption and electrolysis to recover the gold.

1.2 Carbon In Pulp (CIP)

  • The Carbon In Pulp (CIP) process differs primarily in the timing of adding activated carbon. The CIP process includes:

  • Crushing and grinding the gold ore into a pulp.

  • Mixing the pulp with sodium cyanide solution to dissolve the gold into a cyanide complex.

  • After leaching, transferring the pulp to a series of adsorption tanks where activated carbon is sequentially added to adsorb the dissolved gold.

  • After adsorption, the pulp undergoes solid-liquid separation to recover the gold-laden activated carbon.

  • The gold-laden activated carbon undergoes desorption and electrolysis to recover the gold.

2. Main Differences

2.1 Process Differences

Simultaneous Leaching and Adsorption: In CIL, leaching and adsorption occur simultaneously in the same step, whereas in CIP, leaching occurs first, followed by adsorption.

Process Complexity: CIP has a relatively simpler process because leaching and adsorption are separate steps. CIL requires more precise control of process parameters as leaching and adsorption occur concurrently, making it more complex to operate.

2.2 Equipment Configuration

CIL: Since leaching and adsorption occur in the same tank, CIL requires fewer tanks, but each tank is larger and more complex in design.

CIP: CIP requires separate leaching and adsorption tanks. Although there are more tanks, each tank is simpler in design and offers greater operational flexibility.

2.3 Gold Ore Characteristics

Ore Type Suitability: CIL is more suitable for low-grade, high-clay-content ores as these ores can clog the leaching tanks during processing. CIL’s design can better handle this issue. CIP is more suitable for high-grade, uniformly sized ores.

Pulp Handling Capacity: CIL requires stricter control over pulp concentration and particle size, while CIP is relatively more forgiving.

3. Advantages and Disadvantages

3.1 CIL Advantages and Disadvantages

Advantages:

Simultaneous leaching and adsorption result in a shorter process with faster reaction times.

Better suited for high-clay-content ores.

Disadvantages:

Requires precise control of leaching and adsorption process parameters, making it complex to operate.

Higher initial investment due to more demanding equipment and process design.

3.2 CIP Advantages and Disadvantages

Advantages:

Simple process with high operational flexibility.

Adsorption tanks can be used in series, improving adsorption efficiency.

Suitable for high-grade gold ores with simpler process control.

Disadvantages:

Requires separate leaching and adsorption tanks, occupying more space.

Less effective for high-clay-content ores.


The determination of the gold ore extraction process requires strict extraction tests and is determined by professionals. If you have any gold ore extraction needs, please leave a message below, one engineer from our team will contact you shortly.
