1000 tph Limestone Crushing Plant for Concrete Aggregate in the UAE
A 1000 tph limestone plant in the UAE crushes run-of-mine limestone into 0-5 mm, 5-10 mm and 10-20 mm concrete aggregate in two stages: one C160 jaw crusher published at 500-1200 t/h, then two PFW1820 impact crushers published at 500-800 t/h each. Baichy publishes the nearest capacity band as a 500-600 t/h aggregate and rock crushing production line, which runs the same C160 jaw with four HP300 cone crushers.
What Equipment Does a 1000 tph Limestone Plant Need?
Six items carry the configuration below; every capacity is published on that model's own Baichy page.
| No. | Equipment | Model | Published capacity (t/h) | Motor (kW) | Qty |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| A-1 | Feed hopper | LC3000×4000 | — | — | 1 |
| A-2 | Vibrating feeder | ZSW1500×6000 | 550–1200 | 30 | 1 |
| A-3 | Primary jaw crusher | C160 | 500–1200 | 250 | 1 |
| A-4 | Secondary impact crusher | PFW1820 | 500–800 | 2 × 315 | 2 |
| A-5 | Sand making machine | VSI-1145 | 490–600 | 440–520 | 1 |
| A-6 | Vibrating screen | 4YK3070 | 220–1000 | 55 | 2 |
C160 Jaw Crusher
The ZSW1500x6000 vibrating feeder is published with a 1500x6000 mm trough, a 1280 mm maximum feed size, 550-1200 t/h and a 30 kW motor, so it does not starve the jaw. The C160 jaw crusher is published with a 1200x1600 mm feed opening, a 1000 mm maximum feed size, a 150-300 mm outlet range, 500-1200 t/h and a 250 kW motor. Above this duty the same table publishes the C200 at 800-1400 t/h.
PFW1820 impact crusher
The PFW1820 impact crusher is published with a 1620x2040 mm feed opening, a 700 mm maximum feed size, a rotor of 1800 x 2000 mm, 500-800 t/h and two 315 kW motors, so two units carry the primary discharge. The 4YK3070 vibrating screen is published at 220-1000 t/h with a 7000x3000 mm surface, four decks and a 3-150 mm mesh range. The VSI-1145 sand making machine is published at 490-600 t/h with cascade and center feeding, 250-310 t/h with center feeding alone and a feed size below 50 mm for soft material.
Baichy's published 500-600 t/h plan runs the same hopper, feeder and C160 jaw with four HP300 cone crushers and six 2YK2160 screens; only the secondary stage changes for limestone.
How Do You Cut 0-5, 5-10 and 10-20 mm Concrete Aggregate?
The three cuts are set by screen deck apertures, not by the crushers, and the 4YK3070 screen is published with a 3-150 mm mesh range, which covers 5 mm, 10 mm and 20 mm apertures.
Limestone crushing
| Fraction | Use published for this fraction |
|---|---|
| 0–5 mm | Machine-made sand, used for concrete, dry mortar |
| 5–10 mm | Fine aggregate, used for prefabricated components |
| 10–20 mm | Medium aggregate, used for commercial concrete stations |
The same published page lists a fourth cut, 20–31.5 mm, as coarse aggregate for roadbed and asphalt concrete.
Why Do Limestone Plants Use Impact Crushers Rather Than Cone Crushers?
Limestone is soft to medium-hard and low-abrasion, which is the published condition under which impact crushing is the better choice. Baichy's limestone crusher selection guide rates an impact crusher as ideal for limestone with an excellent cubical product and few flats, against a reduction ratio of 10:1 to 20:1 for impact crushing and 4:1 to 6:1 for a jaw crusher.
The same comparison publishes 15-25% fines generation for impact crushing; in a concrete aggregate plant that fraction is a product, because 0-5 mm manufactured sand is one of the three cuts. Published wear parts are blow bars, impact plates and liners.
What Does UAE Quarry Compliance Require?
UAE crusher and quarry operators are audited annually against 2014 Ministerial Resolution No 567, and the Ministry of Environment and Water can stop a plant that fails on equipment maintenance and dust collectors. In 2018 the ministry stopped 14 crusher and quarry operators across the emirates, with shutdowns of one to three months and permanent closure on a third violation (Gulf News, 15 September 2018).
That audit sets the scope: enclosed transfer points between the jaw, the impact stage and the screens, and pulse dust collection on the crusher and screen discharges.
What Information Do You Need for a 1000 tph Quotation?
Send the limestone compressive strength in MPa, the maximum feed size in mm, the target capacity in t/h, the three product sizes in mm and the site power supply in V and Hz. Baichy prices a plant by configuration, because rotor size, deck count, VSI motor and belt lengths each move the figure.
FAQ: 1000 tph Limestone Crushing Plant
1. How many crushers does a 1000 tph limestone plant need?
One jaw crusher for primary crushing plus two impact crushers for secondary crushing. The published models are a C160 jaw at 500-1200 t/h and two PFW1820 impact crushers at 500-800 t/h each, with a VSI-1145 at 490-600 t/h shaping the 0-5 mm manufactured sand.
2. What is the maximum feed size for a 1000 tph limestone line?
1000 mm with the C160 jaw crusher, whose feed opening is published at 1200x1600 mm with a 150-300 mm outlet adjustment range. The ZSW1500x6000 feeder ahead of it is published with a 1280 mm maximum feed size, so it accepts the same run-of-mine limestone.
3. How is 0-5 mm manufactured sand produced in a limestone plant?
Screen undersize and VSI output are the two sources of 0-5 mm in a limestone plant. The VSI-1145 accepts soft material below 50 mm at 440-520 kW, and the published use for the 0-5 mm cut is machine-made sand for concrete and dry mortar.
4. Can the same plant produce more than three sizes?
Yes. Baichy publishes this band with four adjustable cuts: 0-5 mm, 5-10 mm, 10-20 mm and 20-31.5 mm. The 4YK3070 screen carries four decks with a 3-150 mm mesh range, so changing a cut is a deck aperture change rather than new crushing equipment.
