The above information was provided by the client, who is configuring a medium-scale crushing and screening production line. Let's analyze their potential needs, design considerations, and potential application scenarios in detail.

Core Equipment Configuration Analysis

24x36 Jaw Crusher

24x36 Jaw Crusher 

1. Primary Crushing: 24 x 36 Jaw Crusher

◦ Purpose: This is a standard medium-sized primary crusher used to process large raw stone materials from the quarry or after blasting (raw material size may be up to 500-600mm).

◦ Needs Indication: The client needs to process materials with high compressive strength (such as granite, basalt, etc.), and has high requirements for the particle shape of the primary crushed product, or has certain site limitations for the production line (jaw crushers have a compact structure and high feed height).

2. Screening: Double-deck Vibrating Screen (2.5-inch upper screen, 1-inch lower screen)

◦ Screening Logic:

▪ First layer (above 2.5 inches/approximately 63mm): The oversized material/recirculated material needs to be returned to the crusher (usually a cone crusher, but this configuration does not specify a secondary crushing device; it might be returned directly to the jaw crusher? This is questionable, see analysis below).

▪ Second layer (between 1 inch/approximately 25mm and 63mm): The material on this screen is finished product one (for example, used for roadbeds, railway ballast, or large-aggregate concrete).

▪ Undersize material (<1 inch/approximately 25mm): This is a mixture of fine materials, including the final product and materials that require further processing or disposal.

Material Conveying System

3. Material Conveying System:

◦ 1 Coarse Material Return Conveyor: This belt conveys material larger than 2.5 inches from the first screen back for re-crushing. This is crucial for a closed-loop system, ensuring all products meet specifications.

◦ 2 Finished Product Conveyors:

▪ One likely corresponds to the 1-2.5 inch finished product from the second screen.

▪ The other may be used to transport another qualified finished product obtained after fine material screening (such as a specific gradation within 0-1 inch). • One fine material return conveyor belt: This belt transports mixed fine materials (undersize) smaller than 1 inch to the next processing unit (such as a cone crusher or sand making machine for fine crushing and shaping, or to a finer vibrating screen for classification). This is crucial for achieving multiple product sizes and controlling the fine powder content.

Customer Needs and Production Goal Analysis

1. Core Needs: To produce at least two, and likely three, sizes of finished aggregate products.

• Product A: Coarse aggregate with a particle size of 1 - 2.5 inches (25mm - 63mm). This is usually the mainstream aggregate with the highest demand and value.

• Product B: One or more gradations of finer aggregate with a particle size less than 1 inch (<25mm) (e.g., 0.5 inches, 0.25 inches, etc.). Further screening equipment is needed for separation.

• Possible Product C: Additional gradations may be obtained from crushing and screening the returned coarse material.

2. Clear Requirements for Product Quality and Efficiency

• Closed-loop circulation: Coarse material return ensures that all materials are eventually crushed to below the target size, improving equipment utilization and yield, and avoiding energy consumption and increased fines caused by over-crushing.

• Pre-screening: The vibrating screen is placed after the jaw crusher, immediately separating the qualified finished products, reducing the processing volume, wear, and energy consumption of subsequent equipment.

3. Considerations for Production Line Flexibility and Expandability

• Multiple conveyor belts are configured, especially a separate fine material return belt, providing interfaces for future expansion of the production line. It can be easily connected to:

▪ Secondary/tertiary crushing equipment (such as a cone crusher) to process returned coarse or fine materials.

▪ Multi-layer fine screening equipment to separate various sizes of sand and gravel products from the fine materials.

Potential Questions and Optimization Points of the Current Configuration

• The missing secondary crushing stage: This is the most critical question. With only a jaw crusher, returning coarse material (>2.5 inches) directly back to the jaw crusher is unreasonable and inefficient, severely reducing output and increasing liner wear. A more reasonable configuration would be: the coarse material return conveyor connects to a cone crusher for secondary and tertiary crushing, and its output is then returned to the vibrating screen to form a closed circuit. The client may be planning to build in two phases, or the list you provided represents the corscreen (for sorting out various fine aggregates and sand), or to a sand making machine? This determines the type and value of the final product.

• Dust and environmental protection: At screening and transfer points, especially where multiple conveyors are involved, the client will likely require a matching dust removal system.

Inferred Application Scenarios

This configuration is typically suitable for:

• Quarries: Producing various graded crushed stone for construction and road use.

• Infrastructure construction: Producing ballast and concrete aggregates on-site for highway and railway projects.

• Aggregate processing plants: Supplying commercial aggregates to ready-mix concrete plants or building materials markets.

Client Profile: This is an experienced owner or project manager who values efficiency and product quality, and is planning an aggregate production line with medium capacity, focusing on product flexibility and controllable quality.

Suggestions for Follow-up Communication:

1. Clarify secondary crushing: Regarding the return material larger than 2.5 inches, is it planned to return to the jaw crusher, or do we need to consider configuring a cone crusher to process it? This is crucial for process design and final output.

2. Clarify fine material objectives: For fine materials smaller than 1 inch, is your goal to screen them into several finer finished products? Or do you need further shaping and sand making? This determines the equipment selection at the end of the fine material return conveyor.

3. Discuss the complete process: You can proactively outline a complete and efficient process suggestion diagram for the client, for example: Jaw crusher → Vibrating screen → (>2.5 material into cone crusher) → (Cone crusher output returns to screen) → (<1 material into fine screen) → Obtaining various finished products. This demonstrates your professionalism and leads to more specific equipment requirements. Through the above analysis, you not only understand the client's apparent configuration but also gain insight into their underlying production goals, the rationality of their existing configuration, and their potential deeper needs, enabling you to provide more valuable professional advice or solutions.
