Basalt is mainly composed of silicon dioxide, aluminum oxide, iron oxide, calcium oxide and magnesium oxide, of which silicon dioxide is more abundant. The color of basalt is usually black, dark brown or dark green. Because of its dense texture, its specific gravity is heavier than that of general granite, limestone and shale. However, some basalts can even float in water due to their reduced weight due to their large number of pores.
After a series of crushing and processing, basalt can be widely used in roads, tunnels, reservoirs, subways, civil air defense projects and other fields. Nowadays, the popular basalt crushers in the market include jaw crusher, cone crusher and 5X sand making machine.
The physical properties of basalt are relatively hard, which makes it difficult to crush, and the cost of crushing is very high. Generally, jaw crusher is used for preliminary crushing first, and then cone crusher is used for fine crushing. Some gravel manufacturers choose impact crusher for fine crushing, but the fatal disadvantage of impact crusher is that vulnerable parts are particularly easy to be damaged when crushing hard materials. Therefore, cone crusher is recommended.
5X sand making machine is a sand making machine used in basalt production, It has the characteristics of high production efficiency and durable wearing parts, It is a better sand making machine for breaking basalt, granite, river pebbles and other materials.
Whether it is basalt coarse crusher, fine crusher or basalt sand making machine produced by SMMVIK Machinery, SMMVIK Machinery is highly praised by users for its high requirements for equipment and low energy consumption, and is widely used in processing Basalt, river pebble and granite.
