How To Configure The Crushing Line Better For Crushing Granite Into Concrete

When configuring a crushing line for crushing granite into concrete, several factors should be considered to ensure optimal performance and efficiency. Here are some steps to help you configure the crushing line better:

At first, you need to consider and determine the requirements in detail:
Understand the specific requirements of the project, including the desired output size, production capacity, and the quality of the final product. This will guide the selection of the equipment and the configuration of the crushing plant.

Secondly, you should contact manufacturer and consult which kind of crusher is suitable for your project, then get an ideal choice. Generally, there are four types of crushers can exactly meet your requirement, next, let’s have a look at them one by one.

Choose jaw crusher for coarse/primary crushing

First of all, choose a suitable primary crusher that can handle the large granite stones. A crusher jaw or a gyratory crusher is commonly used as the primary crusher for granite crushing. Before your selection, consider factors such as the feed size, capacity, and adjustable range of the crusher.

Choose cone crusher for medium and fine/secondary crushing

Next, cone crusher for medium and fine crushing (5-31.5mm). After the initial processing of granite cave slag crushed stone next need to enter into the cone crusher for secondary crushing, cone crusher high output, large crushing ratio, often as a high hardness stone secondary crushing processing equipment. The granite crushed by the cone crusher below 31.5mm will be screened by the vibrating screen and screened into different specifications into the respective finished pile, granite crushed larger than 31.5mm does not meet the particle size requirements and should be returned to the cone crusher machine for crushing again.

Sand Making Machine for Fine Aggregate Sand Making

Then, sand making machine for fine aggregate sand making (0-5mm). After the second crushing process, some of the stones will become finished coarse aggregate directly, and some of the stones will be sent to the sand making machine for fine crushing process, and the product after the fine aggregate sand making machine is called sand, which needs to be “washed + selected” by the sand washing machine for mixed sand, washing is to wash the impurities in the sand, so that the quality is better; selection is to separate Selection is to sort out coarse sand, medium sand and fine sand, which is convenient to add the ratio when producing concrete.

But usually to do a good project often need several equipment with each other to achieve perfect results, so we can not just choose which suitable crusher, we also need to consider other equipment that can be combined with the crusher to achieve better results, the following we look at which equipment can be used with the crusher.

What equipment can work with crusher effectively?

Screening Equipment

Integrate a screening unit into the crushing line to separate the crushed granite into different sizes. A vibrating screen or a multi-deck screen can be used for this purpose. This step ensures that the final product meets the desired size specifications.

Conveying Equipment

Incorporate a conveyor system to efficiently transport the crushed granite between different crushing stages. This helps to streamline the overall process and improves productivity.

Auxiliary Equipment

Depending on the specific requirements of the project, additional equipment may be needed. This could include a feeder to regulate the flow of material, a dust suppression system to minimize dust emissions, and a magnetic separator to remove any metal contaminants from the crushed granite.

Optimize the Layout

Ensure that the crushing line is laid out in a way that promotes efficient material flow and minimizes downtime. Consider factors such as accessibility for maintenance and repairs, as well as the safety of personnel working in the area.

Automation and Control Systems

Implement automation and control systems to monitor and optimize the crushing process. This can help improve efficiency, reduce operating costs, and ensure consistent performance.

Regular Maintenance

Develop a maintenance plan and schedule to keep the crushing line in optimal condition. Regularly inspect and replace wear parts, lubricate moving parts, and perform any necessary repairs or adjustments to ensure smooth operation.

Program recommendation

200TPH stationary crusher plant for crushing granite

• Configurations: APG-4211W (vibrating feeder) + APJ-7510E (jaw crusher) + APF-1315H (impact crusher) + APS-2160Y4 (vibrating screen)
• Applicable fields: Used for crushing mined granite and producing sand and gravel aggregates for various building materials.

In engineering construction, C60 and above concrete is called high grade concrete, which has the characteristics of fast hardness, high strength, high homogeneity and high compactness. For the strength grade C60 high standard concrete, the coarse aggregate should not be larger than 31.5mm, more than C60 concrete requires the maximum coarse aggregate particle size should not be larger than 25mm, and all should be selected from hard, well-graded granite, faience, basalt and other spherical, low water absorption, small void rate of crushed stone. Therefore, the granite cave slag crushing and processing into high-grade concrete aggregate is exactly what the market wants. This is a very big business opportunity.

By following these steps, you can configure the crushing line better for crushing granite into concrete. It is recommended to consult with experts or equipment manufacturers for specific recommendations based on your project requirements and budget constraints.
