Nickel Ore Crushing Process Flow:

The crushing process of nickel ore is a crucial step in the refining process, mainly comprising two stages: crushing and screening. First, the raw nickel ore is fed into a jaw crusher for preliminary coarse crushing. This step is to crush the ore to a size suitable for further processing. Then, the coarsely crushed ore is transported by conveyor equipment to a cone crusher for more refined medium and fine crushing.

After medium and fine crushing, the ore enters screening equipment for particle size sorting. During the screening process, ore with a particle size smaller than 20mm is considered qualified and will be sent to the finished product pile for further processing; while ore with a particle size larger than 20mm will be returned to the cone crusher for further crushing until the required particle size is reached. The entire crushing process ensures the uniform particle size of the nickel ore, providing strong support for subsequent processing.

The main equipment used for nickel ore crushing includes:

1. Jaw Crusher:

The jaw crusher is a highly efficient coarse crushing equipment. Its features include a high-efficiency crushing chamber, combined frame, integrated motor, no foundation support required, hydraulic adjustment, and centralized lubrication, ensuring stable operation and making it suitable for nickel ore. Recommended models are C6X160 and C6X200, with hourly outputs of 410-1150 tons and 610-1510 tons respectively.

2. Cone Crusher:

The cone crusher is the preferred equipment in the field of medium and fine crushing. Its layered crushing technology ensures excellent finished product particle shape. The use of high wear-resistant materials for wear parts effectively extends the service life and reduces production costs. The equipment is highly intelligent and easy to operate. Recommended models for crushing nickel ore include the single-cylinder series HST315 (S1 cavity type), with an hourly output of up to 335-1050 tons; and the multi-cylinder series HPT800 (C1, C2 cavity types), with an hourly output of 520-1200 tons.
