Lithium ore crushing and processing is used in mineral processing production.  The ore needs to be crushed to less than 20mm. This process usually involves 2-3 stages of crushing to ensure the ore particle size reaches the required fineness, providing suitable raw materials for subsequent mineral processing operations.

The following types of crushing equipment are mainly used for lithium ore crushing:

1. Jaw Crusher

After mining, due to its large size, the raw lithium ore needs to be initially crushed by a jaw crusher. This machine can effectively crush large pieces of ore to a medium size, ensuring the output size is between 10 and 30 centimeters, providing suitable raw materials for subsequent processing.

2. Cone Crusher

After the initial crushing of lithium ore by a jaw crusher, it is recommended to use a hydraulic cone crusher for further processing. Compared with spring systems, hydraulic cone crushers have superior performance, significantly improving crushing efficiency and output.  Their hydraulic system design makes later maintenance and repair more convenient.

3. Fine Crusher

The spodumene from the coarse crushing cone crusher is sent to a fine crushing cone crusher for further crushing. The output of 0-15mm finished material can be directly sent to a grinding mill for grinding.
