Bauxite ore (Al(OH)₃/AlOOH) requires careful size reduction to:
Produce 3-30mm feed for Bayer digestion
Minimize -1mm fines causing red mud issues
Handle high-clay content (up to 25%)
Liming Heavy Industry designs Bauxite Ore Crushers with patented anti-clogging technology for lateritic and karst-type deposits.
Stage 1: Primary Crushing – ROM Ore Reduction
Challenge: Breaking soft but abrasive ore with high moisture (15-30%)
Solution:Jaw Crushers with wedge-block discharge Liming Equipment:
C6X Series Jaw Crusher (e.g. C6X125)
≤430mm feed size for Guinean bauxite
T-shaped discharge slot prevents clay buildup
PE Series Jaw Crusher (e.g. PE900×1200)
≤150mm output with <8% -3mm fines
Stage 2: Secondary Crushing – Size Optimization
Challenge: Achieving 10-30mm ideal digester feed
Solution:Multi-cylinder Cone Crushers with hydraulic clearing Liming Equipment:
HPT Series Cone Crusher (e.g. HPT300)
Anti-clogging concave design
0-30mm adjustable output
HST Series Cone Crusher (e.g. HST250)
≤25mm cubicle product
Stage 3: Clay Processing – Specialized Solutions
Challenge: Separating embedded clay lumps
Solution:Impact Crushers with material scrubbing Liming Equipment:
VSI6X Sand Maker (e.g. VSI6X1263)
Rotor impact anvil disintegrates clay
40% less moisture retention
LUM Ultrafine Mill (For kaolinite byproduct)
Integrated Processing Systems
S5X Vibrating Screen (e.g. S5X2460-3)
Rubber-coated decks for wet screening
B6X Belt Conveyor
Self-cleaning scraper for sticky material
