150tph Crawler Mobile Jaw Crusher For Gold Ore Crushing In Australia

Crawler Mobile Jaw Crusher YMC96 for 100–150 TPH Gold Ore Crushing

Crushing gold ore means breaking large rocks down to a size that works for grinding and mineral separation downstream. Gold ore often sits in hard, abrasive host rock, so the crusher needs real force, steady operation, and wear parts that hold up.An Australian gold mining company needed a crusher that could keep up with a hard-rock open-pit operation. The machine had to handle hard gold ore and move with the pit as working areas shifted.

Baichy Machinery supplied a YMC96 tracked jaw crusher with a capacity of 100–150 TPH. As a mobile primary crusher, it gave the customer a flexible setup that cut down on site prep and kept the mining operation running more efficiently.

The Solution — Baichy YMC96 Crawler Mobile Jaw Crusher

1. Heavy-Duty Jaw Crusher. The jaw crusher uses a large stroke and deep cavity design, so it holds a steady 150 TPH even when processing hard gold ore. That consistent feed matters for the downstream grinding stage, which relies on a steady, predictable input.

2. Hydraulic Adjustment. The hydraulic discharge opening system lets operators change output sizes quickly, so the material is always the right size for secondary grinding. It's a simple setting change from the control panel — no need to shut down for manual adjustment.

3. Crawler Mobility. The heavy-duty crawler chassis gives the machine solid climbing ability, so it can move directly to the blasting face on its own. Raw ore doesn't need to be trucked across the site — the crusher comes to the rock instead.

4. Power & Compliance. The unit runs a high-efficiency engine that meets Tier 3 and Tier 4 standards, so it complies with Australian environmental and fuel consumption requirements. That keeps the operation on the right side of local emissions rules without extra modification.

Process Flow: From Raw Ore to Mill-Ready Feed

The YMC96 crawler jaw crusher is designed as a primary crushing unit for gold ore processing. The complete workflow focuses on improving feed efficiency, reducing unnecessary wear, and providing stable crushed material for downstream processing.

Stage 1: Feeding and Pre-Screening

Raw gold ore with a maximum feed size of around 500 mm is loaded into the reinforced hopper. The heavy-duty vibrating feeder with grizzly bars separates fine material before it enters the jaw crusher. This reduces the amount of unnecessary crushing, lowers wear on the jaw plates, and improves overall plant capacity.

Stage 2: Primary Crushing

The jaw crusher C96 uses a deep crushing chamber and strong crushing force to process hard gold-bearing rocks, including quartz-rich ore. The hydraulic wedge adjustment system allows operators to quickly adjust the closed side setting (CSS) and control the crushed product size according to downstream requirements.

Stage 3: Removing Metal Contaminants

A magnetic separator installed above the discharge conveyor removes tramp iron, such as broken drill bits or metal fragments, from the crushed ore. This helps protect secondary crushers, conveyors, and grinding equipment from potential damage.

Stage 4: Conveying and Dust Control

After crushing, the material is transferred by a heavy-duty belt conveyor. Water spray systems at key transfer points help reduce dust during operation, improving working conditions in the mining area.

Stage 5: Mobile Operation and Process Integration

The crawler-mounted design allows the YMC96 to move with the mining face as the quarry develops. The crushed ore can be stockpiled or directly transported to screening and grinding equipment, creating a flexible connection between mining and mineral processing operations.

Project Results & Performance

1. Stable 100–150 TPH Production:
After commissioning, the YMC96 maintained a production capacity of 100–150 TPH under actual mining conditions. The stable output provided a consistent feed supply for the downstream gold processing system.

2. Flexible Quarry Operation:
The crawler-mounted design allowed the crusher to move closer to the mining face as extraction progressed. This reduced internal haulage distance, lowered fuel consumption, and made production planning more flexible.

3. Reduced Installation Requirements:
Compared with a fixed crushing plant, the mobile configuration required less site preparation and eliminated the need for large concrete foundations and permanent structures. This helped shorten the installation period and reduce initial project costs.

4. Reliable Hard Rock Crushing Performance:
The YMC96 was used for processing abrasive gold ore with high rock hardness. Its robust jaw crusher structure and wear-resistant components helped maintain stable operation in demanding mining conditions.

"The YMC96 crawler mobile jaw crusher gave us the mobility and crushing power we needed for our gold ore operation. It has been reliable, easy to relocate, and delivers consistent output for our grinding circuit."

1.What is the actual capacity of crawler mobile stone crusher YMC96?

The crawler mobile stone crusher YMC96 runs at a steady 100–150 TPH (tons per hour). Operators can adjust the hydraulic discharge opening to fine-tune capacity based on what the downstream processing stage needs.

2.Does crawler mobile crusher require a concrete foundation for installation?

No. The mobile crusher YMC96 is crawler-mounted, so it doesn't need any civil works or concrete foundations. It's essentially plug-and-play — once it arrives on site, it can start running right away..

3.Can this equipment handle high-hardness and abrasive gold ore?

Yes. The YMC96 is built for hard rock mining. It uses reinforced high-manganese wear parts and a heavy-duty jaw cavity, so it handles quartz-hosted gold ore efficiently and keeps uptime high.

4.How does the crawler type mobile design improve the project's ROI?

The mobile design improves ROI mainly by cutting truck haulage costs. The crusher moves with the mine face, so ore doesn't have to be transported far. It also lowers upfront capital costs (CAPEX) because there's no stationary infrastructure to build.
