Nigeria is richly endowed with granite stone and other related solid minerals like Marble, Dolomite and Basalt etc. Nigeria been a country located in the tropics has these rocks in commercial quantity and it is a means of livelihood for many in some parts of the country. In the past, it was mined manually but now there are sophisticated equipment that make quarrying very easy.
What's The Features of Granite?
Granite is a light-colored igneous rock made up of fine- and coarse-grained crystals of quartz and feldspar. Often dark crystals of mica or hornblende are mixed in the rock giving it a salt and pepper look. The color of granite, often important in its value as a building stone, is mostly determined by the color of the feldspar. Feldspar can be white, salmon, tan, or pink. The quartz crystals in granite are generally clear, milky or smoky in color.
The specific gravity of Granite ranges from 2.63 to 3.30. Granite has greater strength than sandstone, limestone or Marble and is correspondingly more difficult to quarry. It is an important building stone, and its maximum usage is in the external flooring and facing followed by internal flooring. Granite quarry crusher plant can reduce granite stones into small particle size for various construction applications.
What is Granite Sand Used For?
Granite belongs to magmatic rock, and it is also a kind of rock widely distributed in igneous rock. It is mainly composed of feldspar, quartz and biotite. Granite is a very suitable raw material for machine-made sand for the following reasons:
1. The physical permeability of granite is very small and difficult to penetrate;
2. It has high strength, heat stability, high density, and is not easy to be affected by external temperature and air;
3. It has very hard texture, good wear resistance, strong corrosion resistance and stable chemical properties;
4. It is widely distributed in China and its mining cost is low.
After the granite is processed by the sand production line, the sand produced in accordance with the construction sand standard can be used instead of natural sand, alleviating the shortage of natural sand resources. After being made into sand, it has a wide range of uses and can be applied to construction, roads, mines, and metallurgy, cement, water conservancy and hydropower and other industries.
Process Design of Granite Crushing Production Line
In stone crushing operations, the arrange of granite crushing production line andlayout of crushing plants and optional equipment and structures is a crucial factor in meeting production requirements meantime keeping capital and operational costs to a minimum.
As we all know, the production line for granite quarrying has several necessary units, such as crushing unit, conveying machines, feeding equipment, and other auxilary machines. The key parts of granite quarrying line can be considered as the crushing unit. As for the crusher machines used for granite crushing production line, they can be divided into the jaw crusher, impact crusher, and cone crusher.
1. Coarse crushing: The raw granite ore is continuously and uniformly fed to the jaw crusher by the vibrating feeder through the silo. The jaw crusher crushes large pieces of granite to a certain particle size through repeated squeezing. , And then transported by the belt conveyor to the cone crusher for medium and fine crushing.
2. Medium and fine crushing: The granite conveyed to the cone crusher is crushed to a small particle size under the principle of laminated crushing, and then enters the next step.
3. Screening and classification: the finely crushed granite material is sent to the circular vibrating screen under the action of the belt conveyor, and the circular vibrating screen divides it into materials with qualified particle size and materials with unqualified particle size, and materials with qualified particle size are sent To the finished material pile, the unqualified materials are re-transported to the cone crusher to continue the crushing process, until all the material particle size meets the requirements.
