Bazalt

Basalt crushing solutions

Tanker supplies equipment and complete production lines for processing hard, abrasive basalt into the fractions required for concrete, asphalt, road construction and other applications.

About basalt

Basalt is a dense volcanic rock with high strength and wear resistance. Its hardness and abrasiveness place heavy demands on crusher wear parts, so stable feeding, suitable chamber selection and closed-circuit screening are important.

Recommended process

Vibrating feeder → Jaw crusher → Hydraulic cone crusher → Vibrating screen → Finished fractions

The jaw crusher reduces large basalt feed. A cone crusher performs secondary and, where required, tertiary crushing. The screen separates finished fractions and returns oversize to the crushing circuit.

A VSI crusher can be added when a more cubical particle shape or 0–5 mm manufactured sand is required.

Recommended equipment

Vibrating feeder — stable, controlled feeding

Jaw crusher — primary crushing of large hard basalt

Hydraulic cone crusher — efficient secondary crushing of abrasive material

VSI crusher — cubical aggregate and manufactured sand

Vibrating screen — separation of required fractions

Belt conveyors — continuous transfer

Dust suppression — reduction of airborne dust

Typical products

0–5 mm — manufactured sand

5–10 mm — fine aggregate

10–20 mm — concrete and asphalt aggregate

20–40 mm — road base and general construction aggregate

Important selection factors

Confirm maximum feed size, true hardness and abrasiveness, moisture, required capacity and finished fractions. Wear-part selection, dust control and access for maintenance should be included in the final line design.
