Limestone is a sedimentary rock composed primarily of calcium carbonate (CaCO3) and is widely used in various industries, such as mining industry, metallurgy industry, and construction industry. More and more customers are paying attention to this industry and invest into limestone crushers and have made great achievements.

If you want to get involved in the limestone crushing industry, you need to know which crushers are commonly used for limestone crushing. First, learn about the collaborations of limestone crushers.

Configured Limestone Crushing Machines Combination for Different Industries

When crushing limestone, choosing the right crusher combination depends mainly on the requirements of the final product and the application area. The following are recommended application areas for using a jaw crusher + cone crusher combination and a jaw crusher + impact crusher combination:

The combination of jaw crusher and impact crusher is more suitable for applications that require fine particle shape and medium hardness aggregate, such as the following applications:

  • Construction industry: Especially for aggregates used in the production of concrete and asphalt mixtures, impact crushers can provide better particle shape to meet the requirements of building materials.
  • Sand and gravel production: When producing sand and gravel for construction, the secondary impact crusher can crush limestone into a more uniform particle size and have higher production efficiency.
  • Recycling of construction waste: When processing construction wastes, it is better to use the impact crusher as the secondary crusher to ensure better particle size.

Jaw Limestone Crushers – Primary Crushing

Jaw crushers have a robust structure and are ideal for primary crushing by applying compressive forces to break large limestone into smaller particles. The capacity range is all in the range of 50-800t/h.

However, it should be noted that the feed size range of APJ-E series small size jaw crusher limestone for sale is from 130mm to 1000mm. If you want to crush the larger limestone into smaller size material, you need to use APJ-X series crusher with the feed size range from 120mm to 250mm.

Advantages: High capacity, simple structure, reliable performance, and ability to handle large feed sizes.

How to Choose a Suitable Crusher Machine for Limestone?

When choosing a limestone crusher rock in the market, you need to carefully consider various factors to ensure the optimal performance and efficiency of the limestone crushing process. Here I have listed some main factors to consider for reference:

limestone crushing for sand and aggregtate production

Understand The Limestone Properties

Limestone is generally a medium-hard stone, but its hardness can vary. The Mohs hardness scale rates limestone typically between 3 and 4.

Know the the moisture content of the limestone as it affects the choice of crusher machine.

Consider the level of abrasive. More abrasive limestone may require a more robust crusher, such as a jaw or cone crusher.

Limestone material
Limestone raw material

Determine the Required Output Specifications

Identify the size of the final product needed (e.g., coarse aggregate, fine aggregate, powder). The types of crushed limestone will determine the types limestone crusher machine and the number of crushing stages needed.

Smaller particle sizes may require additional crushing stages or the use of a finer crusher, like VSI crusher. Besides, if you need powder materials in limestone crusher cement plant, there would be limestone grinding machine, like ball mill, for addition processing after crushing process.

Estimate Production Capacity

Roughly Estimate the required throughput or production capacity (tons per hour). The production capacity and throughput requirements of the operation will influence the size and crusher types for limestone selected. Larger operations may require multiple crushers or a more powerful crusher machine model.

Considering the above three important facors, you can preliminarily select the best crusher for limestone with suitable production capacity. These crushers can form into limestone crusher plant for your operation.

Why Is An Impact Limestone Crusher is More Appopriate For Concrete And Asphalt Production In The Construction Industry?

According to statistics, most of the inquiries our company receives from global customers are about the application of limestone in the construction industry. Most of them want to use the aggregate produced by crushing limestone as raw materials for concrete production and asphalt production. Here I will explain why the impact crusher for limestone as the secondary crusher is better for the construction industry.

The Crushing Production Process Of Crusher

Particle shape

The ability to produce excellent particle shape is important for producing high quality concrete and asphalt. The impact force generated by the crusher helps break down the limestone, producing cube-shaped particles that improve the workability and strength of the final product.

Versatility

Impact limestone crusher rock offers versatility in adjusting output size. By adjusting the gap between the impact plate and rotor, the desired size of crushed limestone can be achieved. This flexibility allows for the production of different sizes of aggregates required for concrete and asphalt.

High Throughput

Capable of handling large feed sizes with high throughput. This is advantageous for construction projects that require the production of large quantities of concrete and asphalt in a given period of time.

Durability and Maintenance

Built to withstand the harsh conditions of construction sites. Impact limestone crushers are equipped with durable wear parts and are easy to maintain, which ensures minimal downtime and efficient operation.

Cost-effective

Impact limestone crusher machine is typically more cost-effective than other crushers such as cone crushers, making them the preferred choice for construction applications where budgetary considerations are important.

Limestone Crusher Machine on-site

It is important to note that while impact crushers for limestone are a suitable choice for concrete and asphalt production, other factors such as feed size, desired output size and specific project requirements should also be considered. Consultation with an industry expert or equipment manufacturer is recommended to ensure that the crusher selected meets the necessary specifications and can effectively meet your construction needs.

What Is The Process Of Limestone Processing?

The limestone processing involves several key stages, each designed to transform raw limestone into a different particle size of materials that can be used in various fields. Here is an overview of the process:

limestone pocessing

01

Quarrying

Limestone is extracted from limestone quarries using heavy machinery like excavators and loaders. The limestone is broken down into smaller pieces during the quarrying process.

02

Crushing

First, the raw limestone is fed into a primary crusher (e.g., jaw crusher or gyratory crusher). Crushing them into smaller pieces for further processing. Then, transporting the materials to the secondary crushers such as impact crushers or cone crushers.

03

Screening

The crushed limestone is screened to separate fine particles from coarser ones. Oversized material may be sent back to the crusher for further reduction.

04

Grinding(optional)

Using the grinding mills, like ball mills, to grind into fine powder. This process produces raw meal, a fine powder that serves as the feedstock for the kiln.

05

Drying (optional)

If the limestone needs to be dried, it is placed in a rotary kiln or other drying equipment to reduce the moisture content.

06

Storage and Packaging

The processed limestone is then stored in silos or stockpiles before being packaged and transported to the end users.

The specific processing steps and equipment used may vary depending on the type and quality of the limestone, as well as the intended end-use application. If you have any question about the process, welcome to consult us.

During the whole limestone processing, it is necessary to maintain the limestone processing equipment to keep it in a good condition. Here are some maintain guidances on limestone crusher gravel.
