Client Background
The client is a mining company in Kenya focused on gold ore extraction. Facing increasing demand for efficient and high-capacity crushing, they sought a reliable partner to build a 200tph processing plant with durable equipment and minimal downtime.
Project Overview
Material: Gold Ore
Capacity: 200 tons per hour
Location: Kenya
Equipment Provider: Liming Heavy Industry
Challenges
- Hard & Abrasive Gold Ore: Required robust crushers to handle high hardness and reduce wear costs.
- 200tph Steady Output: Needed a balanced crushing circuit to avoid bottlenecks.
- Dust Control & Energy Efficiency: Compliance with environmental standards and lower operational costs.
Solution: Customized Crushing Line by Liming
Liming Heavy Industry designed a 3-stage crushing and screening system using advanced equipment:
- Primary Crushing – C6X Jaw Crusher
- Model: C6X145
- Role: Coarse crushing of raw gold ore (≤1020mm) into 250mm chunks.
- Advantages: High crushing ratio, modular frame for durability, and low energy consumption.
- Secondary Crushing – HPT Hydraulic Cone Crusher
- Model: HPT300
- Role: Further reduces ore to ≤50mm for better liberation of gold particles.
- Advantages: Multi-cylinder hydraulic protection, automated control, and high efficiency.
- Tertiary Crushing & Shaping – VSI6X Sand Maker
- Model: VSI6X1263
- Role: Produces finely crushed sand (0–5mm) for improved gold recovery rates.
- Advantages: Deep rotor design for low wear, reduced dust pollution.
- Auxiliary Equipment
- Vibrating Feeder: ZSW490×110 (steady feed control).
- Vibrating Screen: S5X3075-3 (precise screening).
- Belt Conveyors: Efficient material transfer.
Technical Highlights
- Smart Control System: Real-time monitoring to optimize output and reduce downtime.
- Wear-Resistant Materials: Extended service life for crusher liners and blow bars.
- Modular Design: Quick installation in Kenya’s remote mining site.
Project Results
- Achieved stable 200tph output, exceeding the client’s expectations.
- 30% lower operating costs due to energy-efficient crushing stages.
- Minimal environmental impact with dust suppression and noise reduction.
