iron ore crusher

Our iron ore crusher is of good quality, high crushing capacity, low energy consumption, environment friendly etc. It has been used by many famous iron ore mining and Beneficiation Company, such like Vale, BHP, and Rio Tinto and so on.

Iron ore crusher is the major crushing equipment used in a stationary iron ore crushing and screening plant. As a professional iron ore crusher manufacturer and exporter , NFLG can produce the iron ore crusher from primary crushing to tertiary crushing, we even can supply the clients with portable crusher and mobile crusher .

Iron ore crushing plant

Iron ore crushing plant plays an important role in iron ore mining and beneficiation. NFLG Iron ore crushing plant will equip with different crushing equipment from primary crusher, secondary crusher, tertiary crusher, washing equipment, sieving equipment and transferring equipment according to the site and the demands of the clients.

As a major iron ore crushing plant manufacturer and supplier in China, our stationary iron ore crushing and screening plant works as follows:

Firstly, the primary heavy duty crusher will reduce the run-of-mine iron ore up to 1.3 meters in diameter into lumps about the size of a football feeding by vibrating feeder , it is then transferred to a secondary crusher by heavy duty conveyor belt, where the sized iron ore is broken down into grapefruit-sized lumps. Then the crushed iron ore will be transferred to sieving equipment for grade. The oversize is returned for tertiary crushing after which it becomes part of the feed to the product screens. Secondly, after the crushing process is over, the sized iron ore will be sent to a concentrator where waste shale and low-grade ore is removed so the saleable lump and fines products can be produced. Thirdly, a washing plant is needed to remove the ultrafine iron ore. After the washing process, the final iron ore products are produced. Then it will be transported to a stockpile.

Iron ore and its usage

Iron ore is one of the most common minerals in the earth’ crust. After the iron ore is mined and processed in an iron ore beneficiation plant, iron ore is made into different products for everyday life.

The major four usage of iron ore are:

1) Cast iron: it is ideal for moulded parts, like car engine blocks.

2) Wrought iron: it is suitable for use in outdoor furniture, porch railings and other decorations.

3) Steel: it is an excellent material for thousands of different uses.

4) Stainless steel: it is an ideal material for motor vehicle parts, hospital equipment and food preparation tools and utensils.

Ore crushing is a key process to handle the run-of-mine ore minerals like iron ore, gold, bauxite, copper, manganese, nickel, coal etc. at ore dressing plant. Generally, three phase crushing process will be adopted to deal with ores: coarse crushing, medium crushing and fine crushing. The popular ore crushers are jaw crusher , hammer crusher , impact crusher , cone crusher and VSI crusher.

The ore crushing process goes as follows:

Raw ore minerals ->jaw crusher -> impact crusher -> cone crusher (VSI crusher) -> final products in different grade.

Through the coarse crushing by jaw crusher, the size of ore is less than 1m in diameter, and after medium crushing, the crusher breaks down boulders into lumps about the size of a footballand fine crushing, the size will be reduced to less than 12mmwhich is ingrapefruit-sized lumps.

From there, it is sent to stockpiles. Waste rock from the mine, which is low in ore mineral content, is retained for use in rehabilitation. This forms a closed cycle.

Ore grinding process

Ore grinding process plays an important role in ore beneficiation plant. The ore milling machine grind the crushed ore minerals into fine even ultrafine powder so that the leaching and smelting process can go smoothly.

Ore grinding mills can be divided into wet grinding and dry grinding. According to the different application, there will be open-circuit grinding and closed-circuit grinding process. The most popular ore milling machine are SAG mill, ball mill , Raymond mill , vertical mill , trapezium mill .

Our engineer will design different grinding lines for the customers according to customers’ requirements and the nature of the minerals.

Ore dressing plant is a major part of ore beneficiation plant.Usually, we will equip the ore dressing plant with jaw crusher, impactor, cone crusher, ball mill, trapezium mill, classifier, magnetic separator, flotation machines, thickener, dryers and other ancillary equipment like conveyors, vibrating feeders, screens, washers etc. The whole unit feature with high efficiency, low energy consumption, high capacity, economical and so on.

The flow chart is:
Big raw ore minerals are fed into the heavy duty jaw crusher evenly and gradually for primary crushing, After the coarse crushing, the crushed ores will be conveyed to impact crusher for medium crushing, finally, the crushed ore will be transferred to cone crusher (VSI crusher either) for fineness crushing. When the crushing process is finished, the ores will be separated by sieving equipment like multi-deck vibrating screen . Then, the crushed ores will be transported to grinding plant for ore grinding.

The ore grinding plant will grind the ore into powder less than 0.4mm, then classification process goes on. The spiral classifier can washed and classified the mixture ore. After classifying, ore particles are sent to flotation machines, depending on the mineral characteristics with different chemicals, making the needed ores and other materials to be separated.

At the beneficiation plant, the ores will be leaching and smelting in the smelting furnace.
