Project Overview
The client, a major mining company in Nigeria, needed a reliable lithium ore crushing plant to process 200 tons per hour of raw lithium ore into fine-sized aggregates for downstream processing. The challenge was to design a robust production line that could handle the hardness of lithium ore while maintaining high efficiency and minimal downtime.
Challenges
- Hard Material Properties: Lithium ore is abrasive and requires heavy-duty crushing equipment.
- High Production Demand: A stable 200TPH output was necessary with consistent particle size.
- Dust & Pollution Control: Environmental compliance was crucial for the local regulations.
- Quick Installation & Low Maintenance: The client needed minimal operational downtime.
