100-200 TPH Basalt Crushing Plant in Ethiopia

Client Overview

A construction company in Ethiopia sought a reliable crushing solution to process high-hardness basalt for road and infrastructure projects. Their requirements included a production capacity of 100-200 tons per hour, durable equipment for abrasive materials, and a compact layout to minimize operational costs.

Project Overview

• Material: Basalt (Mohs hardness: 7-8)
• Output: 150 TPH (average)
• Application: Roadbase and aggregate production
• Location: Addis Ababa, Ethiopia

Challenges Faced

1. Hard Material Processing: Basalt is a tough and abrasive rock, requiring durable crushing equipment.
2. High Capacity Demand: The client needed a 100-200 TPH output to meet local project requirements.
3. End Product Quality: Strict grading standards for construction aggregates required precise crushing and screening.
4. Dust and Noise Control: Environmental regulations required efficient dust suppression and noise reduction.
