Jaw Crusher or Gyratory Crusher:

Jaw crushers are known for their powerful crushing force, using the reciprocating motion of their jaws to crush ore. For hard rocks like basalt, jaw crushers effectively crush the ore into small particles, laying a solid foundation for subsequent processing. Their high efficiency and wide adaptability make them essential equipment for ore processing.

Although more expensive than jaw crushers, gyratory crushers, with their high speed and powerful crushing force, offer efficient coarse crushing. They are particularly adept at handling hard ores like basalt, achieving output far exceeding that of jaw crushers, making them the preferred equipment for ore processing.

Cone Crusher:

Cone crushers, designed specifically for hard rock, excel at both secondary and tertiary crushing. Its effectiveness is particularly significant when processing high-hardness basalt, ensuring fine ore crushing, making it an ideal choice for processing such ores.

Impact Crusher:

If you need to produce fine sand with a particle size of 0-5mm, in addition to the crushers mentioned above, you can also add an impact crusher to shape the sand to achieve the desired fine sand quality.
