Iron ore processing typically involves a series of mechanical equipment to achieve the process from coarse crushing, medium crushing, fine crushing, grinding to ore beneficiation and purification after ore mining. The following are commonly used equipment in the iron ore processing process:
Crushing Equipment
• Jaw Crusher
Mainly used for the initial crushing of iron ore, suitable for crushing large particle size and high hardness ore materials. Due to its high crushing ratio, simple and reliable structure, it is widely used in the coarse crushing stage.
• Cone Crusher
Commonly used for medium and fine crushing of iron ore, especially single-cylinder cone crushers and multi-cylinder cone crushers, which can achieve efficient and low-wear crushing, producing uniformly fine ore particles.
• Hammer Crusher
Suitable for medium crushing operations, especially for materials with certain toughness.
• Roller Crusher
Suitable for fine crushing, especially for some iron ores with relatively low or medium hardness.
Grinding Equipment
• Ball Mill
Used to further grind the crushed iron ore into finer particles for subsequent ore beneficiation processes.
• Rod Mill
Suitable for grinding high-hardness iron ore.
• Autogenous Mill
Grinds ore by the impact and grinding action of the ore itself without steel balls or rods.
Beneficiation Equipment
• Magnetic Separator
Separates magnetic minerals from non-magnetic minerals in iron ore based on magnetic field differences.
• Flotation Machine
Used to extract valuable minerals from iron ore containing sulfides or other floatable minerals.
• Gravity Separation Equipment
Such as jig machines, shaking tables, etc., used for separation based on differences in mineral density.
Auxiliary Equipment
• Vibrating Feeder
Uniformly and continuously feeds ore raw materials to crushers and mills.
• Vibrating Screen
Screens out ore products of different particle sizes for further processing or as final products.
• Conveyor Belt
Responsible for the transfer of materials between various equipment.
In actual iron ore processing production lines, the above equipment will be reasonably configured and selected based on factors such as ore properties, production capacity requirements, and economic benefits.
