Jijiga, Ethiopia: Three-Stage Basalt Crushing and Screening Plant
Challenge
A plant was needed in the Jijiga region of Ethiopia to process highly hard, abrasive basalt at 120-150 t/h.
Solution
Three-stage crushing: primary jaw crusher, secondary cone crusher and tertiary vertical shaft impact crusher, with heavy-duty screens and conveyors.
Result
The plant was completed in Jijiga; staged crushing yields a final product with a high cubical ratio.
The basalt crushing and screening plant we commissioned in the Jijiga region of Ethiopia was designed for a demanding material: basalt with a very high hardness and abrasiveness index. The crusher stages were therefore arranged to withstand hard-rock conditions as well as possible, and the whole line was built around that goal.
A Crushing Line in Three Stages
The plant's average capacity is 120-150 tonnes per hour. The first load from the quarry goes to the primary jaw crusher; the material is then reduced further in the secondary cone crusher. In the final stage, the tertiary vertical shaft impact crusher gives the end product its cubical shape.
Low Wear and Continuous Output in Hard Basalt
Completed with heavy-duty screens and robust conveyor lines, this 150 t/h crushing plant in Ethiopia keeps wear costs down while production runs without interruption under the tough conditions of a basalt site. Thanks to the staged crushing layout, the end product comes out with a high share of cubical grains.
Jijiga Basalt Plant – FAQ
How much material does the plant handle per hour?
Its average crushing and screening capacity is 120-150 tonnes per hour.
Which material is crushed?
Basalt with a high hardness and abrasiveness index.
In how many stages is the material crushed?
In three stages: a primary jaw crusher, a secondary cone crusher and a tertiary vertical shaft impact crusher.
Is the end product cubical?
Yes, the vertical shaft crusher in the tertiary stage gives the aggregate its cubical shape.
Could you build a similar basalt plant for our site?
Yes, we design similar multi-stage plants according to material hardness and target capacity.
