Iron ore is an important Industrial resource, is a crucial raw material for producing iron and steel. Extracted iron from iron ore is used in manufacturing building materials, machinery, automobiles, and various industrial products. The steel industry relies heavily on iron ore, as steel is widely used in construction, manufacturing, and transportation sectors. The hardness of iron ore varies by type. Some are very hard, like magnetite, while others might be relatively soft or brittle. Iron ore is classified into several types based on composition and structure, including hematite, magnetite, limonite, among others. Each type may have slight variations in chemical composition and physical properties.

The process of extracting iron from iron ore involves crushing and grinding the ore into smaller particles, followed by sintering to form a mixture of coke and ore. This mixture is then fed into a blast furnace for reduction, resulting in molten iron. Subsequently, the molten iron undergoes smelting and refining processes to obtain higher purity iron, which is further utilized in manufacturing various steel products like construction materials and machinery.

For crushing process, usually it is like this, the iron ore was send to the hopper by loader, there is a vibrating feeder under the hopper, the vibrating feeder delivery the iron or to the jaw crusher evenly, jaw crusher works as primary crusher to crush the iron ore stone to smaller size, then the small size iron ore are delivered to cone crusher for secondary crushing by belt conveyor, cone crusher can crush iron ore to smallest size, then was delivered to vibrating screen for screening, the qualified size will be delivered to the finished material pile, bigger size products will back to the cone crusher for re crushing until all the products size can meet the demand.
