100 TPH Stone Crusher Ballast Aggregate Crushing Machine for Kenya

Kenya’s rapidly expanding infrastructure sector—from road networks and railways to building projects—relies heavily on high-quality ballast aggregates. A 100 tons per hour (TPH) stone crusher is emerging as a critical solution to meet this demand, offering efficient on-site processing of local stones like granite, basalt, and limestone into durable ballast. Ballast aggregates require specific characteristics: uniform particle sizes (typically 20–63mm), high compressive strength, and low impurities. A 100 TPH stone crusher balances productivity and practicality for Kenya’s needs.

Key Configuration of a 100 TPH Ballast Crushing Machine

A typical 100 TPH stone crusher setup for ballast in Kenya includes these core components:

1. Feeding System

Vibrating Feeder (e.g., GZD 850×3000): Uniformly feeds raw stone (up to 400mm) from the hopper to the primary crusher, preventing overload. Its dust-proof design suits Kenya’s dry, dusty conditions.

2. Primary Crushing Stage

Jaw Crusher (e.g., PE 600×900): Breaks large stones into 80–150mm fragments. Ideal for hard rocks like granite, its robust manganese steel jaws withstand abrasive materials common in Kenyan quarries.

3. Secondary Crushing Stage

Impact Crusher (e.g., PF 1315): Further reduces 80–150mm material to 20–63mm ballast. Its high-impact force ensures cubical, strong particles—critical for stable railway beds and road bases. The impact crusher’s adjustable rotor speed allows for precise control over particle size, making it versatile for different ballast specifications required in Kenyan projects.

4. Screening System

Vibrating Screen (e.g., 3YK 1860): Separates crushed material into precise ballast grades (20–31.5mm, 31.5–40mm, 40–63mm). Oversized particles are recycled back to the impact crusher for reprocessing, minimizing waste.

5. Conveying & Storage

Belt Conveyors: Transport material between stages, with covers to reduce dust in populated areas like Nairobi or Mombasa.
Stockpiles or Silos: Store finished ballast, ensuring a steady supply for construction sites.

Advantages for Kenyan Operations

- Mobility Options: For remote projects (e.g., roadworks in Turkana), a tracked mobile crusher plant with capacity 100 TPH crusher can navigate rough terrain, eliminating the need for costly stone transportation. For urban areas with paved roads, wheel-type mobile units offer quick relocation between job sites.

- Fuel Efficiency: Equipped with diesel engines (common in Kenya’s off-grid areas) or electric motors (for grid-connected quarries near towns), optimizing operational costs.

- Local Support: We could send our engineer to offer on-site training for Kenyan operators and readily available spare parts (e.g., jaw plates, impact plates, screen meshes) in Nairobi or Kisumu, reducing downtime.

People Also Frequently Asked For - FAQ

1. What crusher is best for hard rock?

Many rock quarries crush hard rock. In these applications we highly recommend a jaw crusher as the primary crusher, which reduces the rock down to 3-4”, and then a cone crusher as the secondary crusher to further reduce down to the desired size.

2. How to crush rocks fast?

If you want to crush lots of hard rock you would need a heavy-duty machine such as jaw crusher or R impact crusher. Most jaw crushers will crush soft and hard rock quickly and easily. The PE jaw crusher would be a perfect machine for the job.
