What is iron ore crusher?

The machine for crushing iron ore is a mechanical equipment that crushes the raw iron ore step by step, from large pieces of raw iron ore (about 500mm) to millimeter-level fine materials. It is a crushing equipment developed by our company based on the advantages of all iron ore crushers on the market. It is suitable for fine crushing operations with compressive strength less than 300Mpa, humidity less than 30%, feed particle size less than 70mm, and finished product particle size less than 5mm. Using iron ore crushers to process a large amount of raw iron ore can separate iron concentrate with economic value.

At present, for this type of high-hardness iron ore, the machines with better crushing effect are jaw crushers and cone crushers. Although other types of crushers such as impact crushers, hammer crushers, compound crushers, and roller crushers can also play the same role, the crushing effect is far less than the previous two models, and the wear on the machine is very large. Considering the cost issue, we still recommend jaw crushers and cone crushers.

1. Machine for crushing iron ore-jaw crusher

The hard iron ore must first be broken, and jaw crushers are generally used. The jaw crusher has a large crushing ratio, uniform finished product particle size, low operating cost, simple structure and convenient maintenance. With the development of high-tech industries, jaw crushers are constantly updated.

Baichy Heavy Industry is at a high level in the design and production of large jaw crushers, such as PE900×1200, with a maximum feed particle size of 750mm. Baichy jaw crusher is a deep cavity model with a long crushing stroke, which is more conducive to material crushing, making the PE series jaw crusher have a larger output and better crushing effect. After that, it can be sent to the secondary crusher for fine crushing. The finest particle size of the finished iron ore can reach 5mm, which can fully meet the feeding requirements of the mill.

2. Machine for crushing iron ore-cone crusher

The cone crusher has a more complex structure and a higher equipment value. However, its output is larger, the crushing particle size is finer, and the wear-resistant parts have a longer service life. In terms of the production efficiency and cost of iron ore, the use of cone crusher can effectively reduce production costs because cone crusher can provide smaller product particle size.

From the overall process point of view, the most economical production method is to use laminated equipment to complete the main crushing task of iron ore. Therefore, cone crushers are widely used in larger iron ore quarry plant. Baichy currently produces a variety of models including single-cylinder cone crushers, multi-cylinder hydauilc cone crushers, and Symens cone crushers, with an output ranging from 50 to 1,000 tons per hour, suitable for any iron ore processing process.

3.Iron ore crushing plant

An iron ore crusher plant is a complex facility that plays a crucial role in the iron ore processing industry. It is designed to crush and process large chunks of iron ore into smaller, more manageable particles for further processing. Here is a detailed introduction to an stationary iron ore crusher plant and mobile iron ore crusher.

--- Stationary iron ore crusher plant

Feeding: The iron ore is first fed into primary crusher through the feeding system. The vibrating feeder ensures a continuous and controlled supply of the ore to the primary crusher.

Primary Crushing: The primary crusher, usually a jaw crusher, breaks the large iron ore lumps into smaller pieces. The crushed ore then moves to the secondary crusher through the conveying system.

Secondary and Tertiary Crushing: In the secondary and tertiary crushing stages, cone crushers, impact crushers, or other types of crushers further reduce the size of the iron ore particles until they reach the desired size.

Screening: The crushed iron ore is then sent to the screening system. The vibrating screens separate the ore into different size fractions. The qualified particles of the desired size are sent for further processing, while the oversized particles are returned to the crusher for re-crushing.

Dust Collection: Throughout the process, the dust collection system operates to capture and remove the dust generated during crushing and screening, ensuring environmental protection and the health and safety of workers.

--- Mobile iron ore crusher

The mobile crushing station for iron ore generally integrates feeding, crushing, and transportation into one set, and adopts crawler or tire type walking, which can adjust the position at any time as the working surface moves in the mining area.

The most typical feature of a mobile iron ore crushing station is that it is connected to the ground without concrete foundation, and it has the walking function to move closely with the movement of the working face.

More importantly, the iron ore is directly loaded to the crusher by excavator, eliminating the vehicle transportation link, thereby reducing production costs. However, the working conditions are harsh, requiring a minimum working platform width of 100m.

 
By reducing the iron ore to the appropriate particle size, the crusher plant lays the foundation for efficient downstream processing, such as grinding, beneficiation, and smelting. This helps to improve the overall efficiency of the iron ore processing industry.

People Also Frequently Asked For - FAQ

1.How does an iron ore crusher work?

Iron ore is typically crushed in a two-stage process. First, the ore is subjected to a primary crushing process that reduces the size of the ore to a maximum size of about 6 inches. The crushed material is then transferred to a secondary crushing machine, where it is further reduced to a size of about 1/2 inch or less.

2. What are the three types of crushers?

Jaw Crushers: Ideal for heavy-duty primary crushing applications.

Cone Crushers: Perfect for secondary and tertiary crushing with precise output.

Impact Crushers: Suitable for various stages with impactful reduction.

3. What is the process of crushing iron ore?

Crushing is accomplished by compression of the ore against a rigid surface or by impact against a surface in a rigidly constrained motion path. Crushing is usually a dry process in succession of two or three stages, namely, by (1) primary, (2) secondary, and (3) tertiary crushers.
