Basalt, due to its strong compressive strength, low crushing value, excellent corrosion resistance, and good asphalt adhesion, is widely distributed across all continents globally. Some major distribution regions include Europe, Asia, Africa, North America, and South America. Many volcanic regions around the world are often rich in basalt deposits, making this igneous rock geologically significant and versatile in construction and various applications. It is internationally recognized as a preferred material for building roads, railways, airport runways, and more. Additionally, basalt serves as a high-quality aggregate for lightweight concrete in high-rise construction. Its porous and sturdy characteristics allow concrete to reduce weight while maintaining strength, providing sound and heat insulation advantages. Therefore, basalt raw material demand is highly robust, with a promising investment outlook.

To process basalt into construction materials, it goes through several stages:

Coarse Crushing with Jaw Crusher: Initially, large basalt materials are uniformly fed into a storage bin by a vibrating feeder. They are then fed into a jaw crusher for coarse crushing. Afterward, the crushed material is screened using a vibrating screen and conveyed to either an impact crusher or a cone crusher for further medium and fine crushing.

Medium and Fine Crushing: In either the impact crusher or cone crusher, the basalt undergoes medium and fine crushing. The material is then screened using a circular vibrating screen. Larger particles are sent back to the impact crusher or cone crusher for further crushing.

Sand Making: Crushed basalt is sent into a sand making machine for additional crushing and shaping. If a clean basalt is needed, it can be sent to a sand washing machine for cleaning.

Packaging: Finally, the dried finished product is packaged and stored.

Through these steps, basalt transforms from ore into construction materials, utilizing its exceptional properties. In this process, crushing and screening equipment play a crucial role.
