Basalt is a kind of basic volcanic rock and also a kind of sedimentary rock. Basalt has the characteristics of high hardness, high temperature resistance, strong compression resistance, and not easy to corrode in sand and gravel aggregates. The main stone used is also a good processed aggregate for lightweight concrete in high-rise buildings, and has a high economic value in the market.
From the physical properties of basalt, it is a hard rock with good compression resistance. If the equipment for crushing basalt is improperly selected, it will cause serious wear and tear to the equipment. Therefore, when crushing basalt, you must choose the right equipment. So what equipment is better for crushing basalt?
1. Coarse crushing – jaw crusher
Jaw crusher is a common and versatile crushing equipment, which can be used to crush basalt with high hardness, as well as marble and river pebbles.
2. Medium and fine crushing——single-cylinder/multi-cylinder hydraulic cone crusher
The cone crusher is a kind of crushing equipment specially designed for crushing and processing hard rocks. The materials to be processed have a high hardness index. Therefore, when faced with basalt, the cone crusher is not to be outdone. Through the lamination crushing method, the basalt can be crushed in the medium and fine stages.
3. Sand making and shaping——vertical impact crusher
The vertical impact crusher utilizes the principle of “rock hitting rock” or “rock hitting iron”, which can reshape the material (basalt) to make its grain shape more round, which is better for the sand and gravel industry. The sand forming rate is high and the finished grain shape is good.
4. Combinable and transferable – mobile crusher
There are two types of mobile crushers: tire-type and crawler-type. They can walk and move easily. They can be driven to the construction site without spending a lot of manpower and material resources. They can be matched with different host equipment for processing according to different needs. Basalt saves transportation equipment and reduces production costs.
