The Moh's hardness of basalt is within 5-7 and the content of SiO2 reaches 45%-52%. It is harder and more wearable than alloy, more erosion-resistant than lead and rubber. It is good construction material. Before making use of it, we need basalt crusher to crush it into aggregate and gravel. In sometimes, we also can crush it into sand.
How to crush basalt into aggregate and gravel?
We can crush basalt into aggregate and gravel. The basalt crushing production line is divided into three stages: coarse crushing, medium fine crushing and screening.
Coarse Crushing: Using jaw crusher to crush big size basalt fetched from mountain.
Medium Crushing: Using vibrating screen to screen crushed materials. After screening we can convey material into cone crusher for medium and fine crushing.
Aggregate Screening: At the end of crushing plant, we can use multi decks vibrating screen to classify gravel into different size to stack.
The Final Output: The final sizes can be between 0-70mm. We can change the combination to meet different production requirement. For example, the final sizes can be 10-20mm, 20-30mm, 30-50mm, etc.
How to crush basalt into fine sand?
We can crush basalt into sand. The basalt sand making process is divided into four stages: coarse crushing, medium fine crushing, sand making and screening. We just need add the sand crushing stage into gravel production line before the final vibrating screen.
Sand Crushing: The crushed material is larger than the size of the two-layer screen, and the stone is conveyed to the sand maker machine through the belt conveyor for fine crushing and shaping.
Sand Washing: For the sand powder with strict requirements, a sand washing machine will be installed in sand crushing plant. The waste water discharged from the sand washing machine can be recovered by the fine sand recycling device. On the one hand, it can reduce environmental pollution, and on the other hand, it can increase sand production.
