Generally, crushing and screening equipment is mainly used for crushing and screening of construction aggregates, metal mines and solid waste.
Construction aggregate (Sand & gravel aggregates)
Production of aggregates and concrete aggregates used in construction, highways, railways, bridges and tunnels.
Metal mineral crushing
The crushing stage process at the front end of metal minerals is used to improve the efficiency of grinding and separation.
Solid waste treatment
Crushing, screening and recycling of construction waste, mine tailings, etc.
Why do crushing and screening
- Economic benefit
Urban buildings, highways, railways, tunnels and bridges have high demand for sand and gravel aggregates.
The use of crushing and screening equipment can crush and screen low-cost stones such as rocks and river rocks into aggregates suitable for sale, which can produce direct economic benefits. - Reduce manufacturing cost
Industrial production has a large demand for steel, copper, aluminum and other metals.
The huge raw ore mined is crushed to a size suitable for grinding and beneficiation to reduce production costs. - Environmental protection
Building demolition and resource mining produce a large amount of solid waste accumulation, which not only occupies land resources, but may also cause damage to the environment.
The solid waste can be collected, crushed and screened to renewable resources that can be recycled.

Artificial sand (river pebble)
Hopper—feeding (vibrating feeder + vibrating screen)—coarse crushing (small jaw crusher)—transit hopper—medium crushing (cone crusher)—sand making (vertical shaft impact crusher)—screening (vibrating screen)
Typical raw materials
Limestone
Granite
River pebble
The raw materials are generally mountain rocks and river pebbles. Most mountain rocks are mined by perforation and blasting. The raw material specifications are based on the production line’s maximum size of 500-1200 mm.
Finished product specifications
- Sand and gravel aggregate:
0-5, 5-10, 10-25 mm
0-5, 5-10, 10-31.5 mm
0-5, 5-10, 10-20, 20-40 mm - Artificial sand: 0-5 mm
- Railway ballast: 25-63 mm
The demand for finished products is a variety of continuous specifications, the maximum generally does not exceed 40 mm. Since it is mostly used to configure concrete or roadbed, etc., it has requirements for the finished product gradation, grain shape, mud and water content and other indicators.
Metal mineral crushing
Used in the crushing treatment stage of metal beneficiation
Typical application
Metal ore crushing
Hopper—feeding (vibrating feeder)—coarse crushing (jaw crusher)—transit silo—medium crushing (cone crusher)—fine crushing (cone crusher)—screening (vibrating screen)
Typical raw materials
Iron ore
Copper ore
The raw materials are mostly surface or underground mountain rock mines, and most of them are blasting mining. The specifications of the raw materials are below 500-1200mm according to the scale of the production line.
Typical finished product specifications
- New ball milling process: 0-10 mm, 0-12 mm, 0-13 mm, 0-15 mm
- New high-pressure roller mill technology: 0-20 mm, 0-25 mm
- Old ball milling process: 0-20 mm, 0-25 mm, 0-30 mm
The discharge specification is generally a single mixed material, and the discharge is used for the back-end ball mill or high-pressure roller mill and mineral processing. In order to improve the back-end efficiency, it is generally required that the higher the discharge fine material content, the better, and there is no requirement for the particle size.
Solid waste crushing and screening
Used for making bricks
Recycled aggregates
Floor coverings
Typical application
Construction waste crushing
Construction waste crushing (mobile)
Hopper—feeding (vibrating feeder)—coarse crushing (jaw crusher)—transfer silo—medium crushing (impact crusher/jaw crusher)—screening (vibrating screen)
Hopper—feeding (vibrating feeder)—coarse crushing (impact crusher)—screening (vibrating screen)
Typical raw materials
Construction waste
Cement mine tailings
Iron ore tailings
The raw materials are mostly concrete blocks and waste rocks produced in building demolition or mine production. The raw materials are relatively complex and the specifications vary greatly. Generally, the maximum specifications are below 400-600 mm, and the maximum is generally not more than 1000 mm.
Typical finished product specifications
- Sand or brick: 0-5 mm
- Recycled aggregate:
0-5, 5-10, 10-25 mm
0-5, 5-10, 10-31.5 mm
0-5, 5-10, 10-20, 20-40 mm
Depending on the purpose of the recycled materials, it is currently mostly used in the production of recycled aggregates, brick making and paving. The finished product requires a variety of continuous specifications, and there are certain requirements for the impurities, gradation, particle shape, and mud content of the finished product.
