Client Brief
Our client is a construction materials supplier based in Ethiopia, specializing in high-quality aggregates for infrastructure and building projects. They needed a reliable crushing plant to process volcanic rock into fine aggregates for concrete, road construction, and other applications. The key requirement was a stable 50-ton-per-hour (TPH) production capacity with excellent particle shape and high-quality sand output.
Project Overview
Material: Volcanic rock (hard, abrasive, high compressive strength)
Location: Ethiopia
Capacity: 50 TPH
Final Products: 0-5mm, 5-10mm, 10-20mm sand and aggregates
Application: Construction, road building, and infrastructure
Challenges
- Hard Material Properties – Volcanic rock is tough and abrasive, requiring durable crushing equipment.
- High Sand Demand – The client needed well-shaped sand for concrete production.
- Stable 50 TPH Output – The system had to maintain consistent production levels without breakdowns.
- Local Conditions – Dust control, power supply stability, and maintenance support were critical factors.
