Iron ore crushing process is the necessary step in order to produce the products meet the clients’ demands.

Lump ore: Coarse material sifted from crushed ROM ore (run-of-mine – the raw mined material), of variable maximum size.

Sinter feed: Fine iron powder. In order to be able to use it in a steelmaking furnace, it is agglomerated to form sinter.

Pellet feed: Super-fine powder with high levels of iron and low levels of impurities. To be used in a furnace, it needs to go through a pelletizing process.

Pellets: Small iron ore globules made by means of a technology that utilizes iron ore fines – powder generated during the extraction process that used to be considered a waste product. Pellets are used to make steel, and so they end up in countless products, from needles to space rockets.

Most of the Iron ore’s mines are open pits. The iron ore is drilled and blasted in benches, Ore is loaded into haul trucks by shovels, hydraulic excavators or front-end-loaders, and transported to transport the ore to crushing plants, where the ore is crushed into smaller pieces of varying sizes. Crushed ore is then classified into different sizes based on customer specifications.

During this process, iron ore crusher and iron ore grinder is needed. The iron ore crushing process goes through the following stages: primary crusher, secondary crusher and sieving, tertiary crushing and screening, grinding, cycling and recycling and into the particle. It is then processed in a crushing and screening plant to produce fine ore and lump ore.

The primary crusher breaks down the boulders of up to 1.5 meters in diameter into lumps about the size of a football. It is then transferred to a secondary crusher, where it is broken down into grapefruit-sized lumps.

Jaw crusher: primary crusher;

Impact crusher: primary crusher or secondary crusher;

Cone crusher: secondary crusher or tertiary crusher;

VSI crusher: secondary crusher or tertiary crusher;

Vibrating screen: sieving equipment, screening equipment;

Conveyor belt: transferring equipment;

One iron roe processor installed cone crusher in their pre-grinding stage to reduce the feed size to their ball mills.

But Our engineers recommend the customer try our VSI crushers for the reasons as follow:

1) The capital cost per produced ton of the iron ore is lower than for a cone crusher;
2) Production costs are also lower;
3) VSI crusher is easy to operate;
4) VSI crusher can save the wear parts costs.
5) VSI crusher can improve the efficiency of the screening operation;
6) VSI crusher can have a lower recirculating load than cone crusher.

VSI crusher is designed to process iron ore with the unique rock-on-rock crushing action combine in a machine which is capable of coping with the demand s of such a hard and abrasive materials as iron ore.

The top ten countries which is rich in iron ore are: China, Australia, Brazil, India, Russia, Ukraine, USA, South Africa, Iran, Canada, Main iron ores are magnetite, hematite, limonite, iron silicate ore, iron silicate mineral, etc.

Cast iron or pig iron is very hard, but brittle. These properties make it ideal for moulded parts, like car engine blocks.

Wrought iron is nearly pure iron mixed with a glasslike material. it is suitable for use in outdoor furniture, porch railings and other decorations. Steel is an excellent material for thousands of different uses.

Stainless steel contains chromium, which makes it very resistant to rusting. This makes an ideal material for motor vehicle parts, hospital equipment and food preparation tools and utensils.

Tool steel is extremely hard, and is used in metalworking tools.
