Targeting Quarry Managers, Plant Superintendents, and Engineering Contractors

1. PainPoint Driven Opening: The True Cost of Inconsistent Ballast

Producing railway ballast to meet stringent ASTM D448, AREMA 24, 25, or EN 13450 specifications is a persistent operational challenge. Inconsistent product quality leads directly to rejected loads, contract penalties, and costly reprocessing. Titik kesakitan biasa termasuk:

Penjanaan Denda Berlebihan: Overcrushing in secondary or tertiary stages creates excess fines (200 mesh material), degrading drainage properties and leading to load rejection by rail authorities.
Cubicity Failures: Flaky or elongated particles from improper crushing reduce interlock strength, compromising track bed stability and longevity.
Masa Henti Tidak Berjadual: Frequent liner changes on crushers not designed for abrasive igneous rock (granit, basalt) or hard limestone halt your primary production line.
Kos Operasi yang Tinggi: Energyinefficient crushing circuits and high wear part consumption per ton directly erode profit margins on a highvolume, competitive product.

Are you managing these costs? Is your current crushing equipment configured to maximize yield of inspec ballast while controlling fines and wear?

2. Gambaran Keseluruhan Produk: HighYield Ballast Crushing Plant

Our engineered solution is a stationary or modular crushing and screening plant specifically configured for highvolume quarry ballast production. The system is designed to transform blasted quarry run (typically 0750mm) into precisely graded railway ballast.

Aliran Kerja Operasi:
1. Pengurangan utama: Dump feed is reduced by a robust jaw crusher or primary gyratory to 250mm.
2. Secondary Shaping & Saiz: The heart of the system—a highinertia cone crusher—receives the primary crushed material. Its specific chamber design and crushing action are calibrated for particle shaping.
3. Critical Screening & Recirculation: A multideck horizontal screen precisely separates the product into oversize, inspec ballast (mis., 2565mm), and undersize/fines. Oversize is recirculated to the cone crusher; undersize is diverted for aggregate byproducts.
4. (Pilihan) Tertiary Crushing for Chips: A tertiary vertical shaft impactor (Semua orang) can be integrated to produce rail head chip (ballast shoulder) from screened fractions with superior cubicity.

Skop Permohonan & Batasan:
Skop: Ideal for dedicated ballast production from hard, abrasive rock types. Configurations are available for outputs from 150 ke 600+ tan per jam.
Batasan: Not suitable for soft or highly friable sedimentary rock without significant configuration review. Feed size must be controlled within crusher intake limits.
