A large mining and construction company in Guangdong Province, a major economic hub in Southern China, was contracted to supply high-quality aggregates for a critical infrastructure project. The primary raw material to be processed was basalt, a hard, abrasive, and high-strength volcanic rock known for its excellent durability, making it ideal for high-standard concrete and asphalt mixes. The project required a crushing solution that could be set up quickly and operate efficiently in the region's humid climate while strictly adhering to Guangdong's rigorous environmental protection standards.
Basalt is one of the hardest rocks to crush, causing rapid wear on crusher components. The selected equipment needed exceptional wear resistance and crushing power. The infrastructure project required aggregates with a perfect cubical shape for optimal compaction and strength, ruling out simpler crushing methods. Guangdong has strict dust emission limits. Controlling dust from crushing such hard rock was a top priority to avoid production stoppages and fines.
To meet these demanding requirements, a high-performance two-stage mobile crushing circuit was implemented. This setup is designed for a capacity of 150 tons per hour (TPH) and focuses on producing premium-shaped aggregates from tough basalt.
The first unit is a mobile station equipped with a PE600x900 Jaw Crusher and a vibrating feeder. This robust machine is designed for the tough job of primary crushing, taking large basalt boulders (up to ~500mm) and breaking them down to a smaller size of around 150-200mm. Its simple and strong structure makes it ideal for withstanding the high pressure of crushing hard rock.
The second unit features a HPC300 Multi-Cylinder Hydraulic Cone Crusher. This is the heart of the final product shaping. The HPC300 is specifically engineered for intermediate and fine crushing of hard, abrasive materials. Its multi-cylinder hydraulic system provides excellent overload protection, allows for automatic clearing, and enables precise adjustment of the discharge setting to control product size and shape, ensuring a high yield of cubical aggregates.
An advanced pulse-jet baghouse dust collector was integrated into the system. This environmental safeguard effectively captures dust generated at key transfer points, such as the crusher inlets and discharge conveyors. It ensures that particulate emissions are kept well within regulatory limits, protecting both the workers' health and the surrounding environment.
Large basalt rocks are fed into the Mobile Jaw Crusher (PE600x900) for primary crushing. The crushed material is then conveyed to the Mobile Cone Crusher (HPC300) for secondary crushing and final shaping. The use of a mobile vibrating screen (either integrated with the cone crusher or as a separate unit) can be added to sort the final product into different sizes. The Pulse Dust Collector runs simultaneously, ensuring an environmentally friendly operation.



1. Optimized for Hard Rock: The combination of a sturdy jaw crusher for primary reduction and a multi-cylinder cone crusher for secondary crushing is the most effective technical solution for processing highly abrasive basalt, balancing capacity, product shape, and wear part cost.
2. Superior Final Product Quality: The HPC300 cone crusher produces well-shaped, cubical aggregates that are highly valued for high-grade construction projects like expressways, providing superior structural integrity.
