LATEST Basalt Crushing Solutions for High-Strength Aggregate Production

Basalt is widely used in high-performance concrete, asphalt pavement, railway ballast, and infrastructure projects due to its excellent mechanical strength and durability. However, basalt is also known as one of the most difficult materials to crush because of its high hardness and strong abrasiveness.

To achieve stable production, high-quality aggregates, and acceptable operating costs, basalt crushing requires a carefully engineered crushing and screening solution.

With extensive experience in hard rock applications, LIMING Heavy Industry provides reliable basalt crushing solutions tailored for high-strength aggregate production.


1. Crushing Challenges of Basalt

Basalt presents several technical challenges in crushing operations:

  • Very high compressive strength

  • Strong abrasiveness leading to rapid wear

  • Difficult-to-shape particles

  • High demand for equipment durability

These characteristics make basalt unsuitable for impact-dominated crushing systems in early stages. Improper equipment selection often results in excessive wear and frequent downtime.


2. Recommended Basalt Crushing Process Design

Primary Crushing: Heavy-Duty Jaw Crusher

Jaw crushers are ideal for basalt primary crushing due to:

  • Strong crushing force

  • Ability to handle large feed sizes

  • Excellent structural strength

  • Reliable operation under heavy loads

They efficiently reduce large basalt blocks into sizes suitable for secondary crushing.


Secondary Crushing: Cone Crusher

For basalt applications, cone crushers are the most recommended secondary crushers.

Key advantages:

  • High crushing efficiency

  • Excellent resistance to abrasive wear

  • Stable continuous operation

  • Consistent product gradation

Cone crushers outperform impact crushers in basalt applications in terms of liner life and operating cost control.


Tertiary Crushing and Shaping (Optional)

When strict aggregate shape requirements are required, shaping stages can be added using:

  • Fine cone crushers

  • Vertical shaft impact crushers (VSI)

VSI crushers are typically used only in the final shaping stage to balance aggregate quality and wear cost.


3. Closed-Circuit Crushing and Screening System

Basalt crushing plants almost always adopt closed-circuit configurations.

Key benefits:

  • Precise control of final aggregate size

  • Elimination of oversized particles

  • Reduced re-crushing and energy waste

kaolin powder processing Systems


There are four types of kaolin powder processing: coarse powder processing (0-3MM), fine powder processing (20 mesh-400 mesh), ultra-fine powder deep processing (400 mesh-1250 mesh) and micro powder processing (1250 mesh-3250 mesh)

231109.jpg

The kaolin powder making process is divided into four stages: crushing, grinding, grading, and powder collection;

Stage One: Broken

The bulk kaolin materials are crushed by the crusher to the feeding fineness (15mm-50mm) that can enter the grinding mill.

Second stage: grinding

The crushed kaolin small pieces are sent to the silo through the elevator, and then sent to the grinding chamber of the mill uniformly and quantitatively through the vibrating feeder for grinding.

For fine powder processing, LM vertical roller mill, MTW European version mill, and 5X European version smart mill can be used;

For ultra-fine powder processing, MW ring roller micro-powder mill and LUM ultra-fine vertical mill can be used; for coarse powder processing, CM European-style coarse powder mill can be used.

The third stage: grading

The ground materials are classified by the powder selector, and the unqualified powder is classified by the powder selector and returned to the main machine for re-grinding.

The fourth stage: gathering fans

Powder that meets the fineness will enter the dust collector with the air flow through the pipe for separation and collection. The collected finished powder will be sent to the finished product silo through the conveyor through the discharge port, and then packaged in a powder tanker or automatic baler.
