450TPH Basalt Crushing Plant Project in Rizal, Philippines
The Philippines has seen a surge in infrastructure development, driving a massive demand for high-quality aggregates. In Rizal Province, a strategic hub for quarrying, one of our key clients faced a challenge: increasing production capacity to meet government contracts while maintaining strict grain shape standards.
This case study details how Liming Heavy Industry helped this client transition from a small-scale operation to a massive 450tph crushing plant project in the Philippines, turning hard basalt into high-profit construction materials.
Project Overview
| Location | Rizal Province, Philippines |
| Material | Basalt (High Hardness) |
| Capacity | 400 – 450 TPH |
| Input Size | ≤ 800mm |
| Output Sizes | 0-5mm, 5-10mm, 10-20mm, 20-38mm |
| Application | Concrete mixing, road base, asphalt |
The Challenge: Hard Rock & High Wear
The raw material in this quarry is Basalt, known for its high hardness and abrasiveness. The client’s previous production line (using old-style jaw and impact crushers) suffered from:
- Frequent breakdowns due to overload.
- Excessive wear on liners (replaced every 2 weeks).
- Poor particle shape (too many needles/flakes), which was rejected by downstream concrete batching plants.
They needed a 450tph crushing plant that could withstand the abrasion while delivering a cubical product.
The Solution: Two-Stage Crushing with HST
After a thorough site survey by Liming’s engineers, we proposed a solution that prioritized “Lamination Crushing” to solve the shape issue and “Hydraulic Protection” to solve the downtime issue.
Configuration Highlights:
- Primary Crushing: PE-1200×1500 Jaw Crusher. A large feed opening ensures that 800mm blasted stones can be processed directly without secondary blasting.
- Secondary Crushing: Two units of HST Single Cylinder Hydraulic Cone Crusher. As detailed in our HST technical guide,these machines use automatic overload protection, making them ideal for hard basalt.
- Screening: Two sets of 3YZS2460 Vibrating Screens ensure precise separation of the four required final products.
The Result: Stable Operation & Quick ROI
Since commissioning 18 months ago, the plant has exceeded performance expectations:
- Capacity Met: The plant consistently delivers 450-480 tons per hour.
- Quality Improved: The final aggregate has a cubical content of over 90%, meeting the strict standards for high-grade concrete.
- Costs Reduced: The wear life of the HST cone liners is 40% longer than their previous machines, significantly reducing operating costs (OPEX).
Customer Feedback
“Liming’s solution completely changed our business. The HST cone crushers are intelligent—they handle the hard basalt easily. We calculated our ROI, and the plant paid for itself within the first 8 months of full operation.”
