1. Project Background
In Somalia’s challenging mining environment, operators often struggle with high maintenance costs and poor aggregate quality. Baichy Heavy Industry provides a customized 150-200tph limestone crushing plant, specifically designed to deliver high-standard construction aggregates with optimized operational costs.
Equipment Configuration
• Primary Crushing: C100 Jaw Crusher (High crushing ratio & heavy-duty design)
• Secondary Crushing: PFW1315 Impact Crusher (Superior cubic shaping)
• Screening Unit: 4YK2160 Vibrating Screen (4-layer high-precision sorting)
Performance & Value
• Superior Grain Shape: The impact crushing principle ensures 100% cubic aggregates with extremely low needle-like content, meeting high-grade concrete standards.
• Massive Energy Savings: Optimized power transmission reduces electricity consumption by 1-2 kWh per ton. For this 200tph line, it translates to approximately $15,000+ annual savings in energy costs.
• High Reliability: Built with high-strength wear-resistant materials, the C100 Jaw Crusher handles large feed sizes (up to 1000mm) while significantly lowering the failure rate in remote mining sites.

FAQs About the 150–200 tph Limestone Crushing Plant
Q1: Why choose a "Jaw Crusher + Impact Crusher" configuration for crushing limestone?
A: Limestone is typically a medium-hardness material. The C100 Jaw Crusher serves as the primary crusher, capable of handling large feed blocks up to 1,000 mm in size. The PFW Impact Crusher acts as the secondary crusher, utilizing impact energy to break the material along natural cleavage planes; the resulting aggregate is cubic in shape with minimal elongated or flaky particles, fully meeting the high standards for concrete aggregate required by infrastructure projects (such as roads and ports) in East Africa.
Q2: What special design features does Baichen offer to address maintenance challenges in remote areas of Somalia?
A: Recognizing the limited on-site maintenance resources in Somalia, we have specifically equipped the plant with a hydraulic adjustment system. Operators can adjust the discharge opening or open the crusher housing for maintenance using hydraulic control levers, eliminating the need for heavy mechanical tools. Additionally, all critical wear parts are made from high-manganese steel and high-chrome alloys, significantly extending the replacement interval in hot, dry climates.
Q3: What specifications of finished products can this production line yield?
A: The system is equipped with a 4-deck vibrating screen, typically producing four standard aggregate sizes: 0–5 mm, 5–10 mm, 10–20 mm, and 20–40 mm. Customers can easily adjust the output ratio of different particle sizes to meet local market demands by modifying the gap between the impact plates in the PFW Impact Crusher.
Q4: Is this solution still suitable if my limestone feed size exceeds 1 meter?
A: Yes. Our C100 Jaw Crusher features a maximum feed opening of 1,000 x 1,200 mm, capable of handling the vast majority of raw blasted blocks from open-pit mining. For the occasional oversized block, we recommend installing a simple grizzly screen ahead of the feeder to ensure stable system operation and prevent blockages.
