Saudi Arabia 100 TPH Basalt Sand & Aggregate Plant
Project Background
The client sought a reliable solution to process hard basalt into high-quality sand and aggregates for local infrastructure development. Key requirements included:
- High yield (100TPH) with stable output.
- Low maintenance costs for abrasive basalt.
- Modular design for easy installation in remote locations.
Challenges
- Hard Material: Basalt’s high compressive strength (up to 300MPa) demands rugged equipment.
- Abrasion Wear: Conventional crushers suffer rapid wear when processing basalt.
- Dust Control: Strict environmental regulations in Saudi Arabia required low-dust operation.
Solution: Liming’s Customized Crushing Line
Liming Heavy Industry designed a 3-stage crushing and screening system:
- Primary Crushing: [C6X Jaw Crusher]
- Model: C6X145
- Role: Coarse basalt crushing (≤750mm feed size).
- Advantages: Robust frame, optimized cavity, and wedge adjustment for reduced downtime.
- Secondary Crushing: [HST Single Cylinder Cone Crusher]
- Model: HST250
- Role: Intermediate crushing to 40mm.
- Advantages: Hydraulic control for precise output, laminated crushing principle for lower wear.
- Tertiary Sand Making: [VSI6X Sand Maker]
- Model: VSI6X1263
- Role: Producing 0-5mm high-quality sand.
- Advantages: Rock-on-rock crushing, low noise, and ≤3% needle-like content.
- Auxiliary Equipment:
- Vibrating Feeder (ZSW490×130)
- Circular Vibrating Screen (3YK3072) for grading.
- Dust Suppression System (Meet Saudi EPA standards).
Technical Highlights
- Smart Control: PLC automation for real-time monitoring.
- Energy Efficiency: 20% lower power consumption vs. traditional lines.
- Modularity: Pre-assembled modules reduced on-site installation time by 30%.
Results
- Output: Steady 105-110TPH (exceeding target).
- Product Quality: Cube-shaped aggregates (≤15% flakiness) and ISO-standard sand.
- Maintenance: Wear parts lifetime extended by 40% due to Liming’s special alloy liners.
Client Feedback
“Liming’s team provided end-to-end support—from design to commissioning. The VSI6X sand maker’s performance in Saudi’s dusty environment impressed us. We plan to expand with another line next year.”
