The project is located in Mexico, where abundant basalt reserves provide a steady raw material source. The client’s core requirement was to produce 300 tons of qualified aggregates per hour, with finished product specifications including 0-5mm, 5-10mm, 10-20mm, and 20-31.5mm—all meeting Mexico’s national standards for high-grade infrastructure projects. These aggregates are primarily used in highway pavements, railway ballasts, and high-rise building concrete, requiring strict control over particle shape, uniformity, and strength. This basalt crusher plant features a well-optimized two-stage crushing circuit with pre-screening, ensuring excellent product shape and consistent output.
Basalt is a hard, abrasive, and dense volcanic rock, posing significant challenges for crushing equipment. The final aggregates needed to have a well-graded, cubical shape for use in high-strength concrete, ruling out cone crusher setups that produce flaky particles. And it needs to ensure a steady and well-distributed flow of material to the primary crusher and secondary is critical for maximizing overall plant efficiency.
The plant is designed with a logical flow of size reduction and classification, utilizing each piece of equipment to its maximum potential.
The process begins with a heavy-duty vibrating feeder ZSW1149 . Its key role is to ensure a steady and controlled feed of large basalt bouldersfrom the hopper to the primary crusher. Its grizzly bars can pre-screen fine soil and small particles, improving crusher efficiency.
As the primary crusher, Jaw Crusher C110 is designed to handle the toughest materials like basalt. Its high crushing capacity and deep crushing chamber effectively reduce the large basalt rocksto a manageable size of around 150-200mm. C-series jaw crusher is renowned for its reliability and low operational costs.
Crushed material from the jaw crusher is conveyed to a buffer hopper, which is equipped with a vibrating feeder GZG100-4 . It regulates the feed to the secondary crusher, preventing overloading and ensuring a consistent, choke-free flow.
For secondary crushing, the crushing plant employs a Hydraulic Impact Crusher PFW1320. The impact crusher uses a high-speed impact force to break the stones, resulting in a final product with a well-defined, cubical shape. The hydraulic adjustment system of impact crusher allows for quick and easy setting changes.
The final classification is handled by the 3YK2470 triple-deck vibrating screen. It precisely separates the crushed material into three to four different specified product sizes (e.g., 0-5mm, 5-15mm, 15-25mm, and 25mm+). Oversized material is recirculated back to the secondary crusher for further processing, ensuring all output meets the required specifications.



1.High Efficiency and Stable Output: The optimized configuration guarantees a steady production of 300 tons per hour, meeting the project's high-volume demands.
2. Excellent Final Product Shape: The combination of the jaw crusher for size reduction and the impact crusher for shaping results in superior, cubical aggregates that are highly valued in the market.
3. Robustness and Low Wear: The selected equipment, especially the C110 Jaw Crusher and PFW1320 Impact Crusher, are built with high-quality, wear-resistant materials, significantly reducing maintenance downtime and operational costs.
4. Automated and Smooth Operation: The integrated system, with components like the GZG feeder ensuring a balanced flow, minimizes bottlenecks and allows for semi-automatic control, reducing labor costs.
