30-50 TPH Chrome Ore Crushing Plant in Zimbabwe

1. Project Overview & Site Execution

Located in the mineral-rich Great Dyke region of Zimbabwe, this 30-50TPH chrome ore crushing plant is designed to maximize the recovery rate of valuable chromite. The line employs a PE-400×600 Jaw Crusher for primary reduction and an HST100 Single Cylinder Hydraulic Cone Crusher for secondary fine crushing. This configuration ensures a consistent output of fine material (0-20mm), which is the ideal feed size for the subsequent spiral washing process, significantly improving the overall concentrate grade and economic return.

Project Site Snapshot & Execution Summary

This photo captures the primary crushing stage installation, utilizing a modular steel structure design which dramatically reduced on-site installation time and complexity.

"The combination of PE jaw and HST cone is perfect for our scale. It delivers fine enough particles for our spiral chutes to recover chrome efficiently."

2. Detailed Process Flow & Design Rationale

Given the high density and hardness of Zimbabwe's chrome ore, we designed a compact closed-circuit system to ensure optimal liberation of chromite crystals:

Primary Crushing: Raw chrome ore (up to 340mm) is fed into the PE-400×600 Jaw Crusher for coarse reduction to approximately 40-60mm.
Secondary Crushing: The material is conveyed to the HST100 Single Cylinder Hydraulic Cone Crusher. This unit is crucial for producing a high percentage of fines tailored for subsequent gravity separation.
Screening & Recirculation: An S5X-1545 Vibrating Screen separates the material. Oversize stones (+20mm) are returned to the HST Cone, while 0-5mm and 5-20mm products are stockpiled for the spiral chute washing plant.
