Material Processing Flow

The typical processing flow for quarry operations includes:

  1. Primary Crushing: Large stones (>500mm) are reduced to 100-300mm using jaw crushers like our PE series
  2. Secondary Crushing: Materials are further crushed to 30-70mm using cone crushers such as our HPT Hydraulic Cone Crusher
  3. Tertiary Crushing: For fine crushing to 5-20mm, our VSI6X Vertical Shaft Impact Crusher delivers excellent cubic-shaped output
  4. Screening: Our S5X Vibrating Screen efficiently separates materials to required specifications

Equipment Applications

Liming Heavy Industry’s crushing equipment is suitable for processing various materials:

  • Granite & Basalt: Requires cone crushers like HPT300/ Hydraulic Cone Crusher
  • Limestone: Ideal for impact crushers such as CI5X Impact Crusher
  • Sand & Gravel: Our VSI6X Sand Maker produces high-quality manufactured sand
  • Mobile Solutions: NK Series Mobile Stations offer flexibility for changing quarry sites
