Comminution and classification technologies of iron ore

The three primary and secondary crushing stations each crush 5000 tons of ore an hour (t/h) into particles smaller than 150 mm. This material is then conveyed to a 250,000 t surge stockpile prior to being fed into the processing plant. When the ore is fed into the processing plant it first enters the scrubbers, before being sent to wet screening.Web
