In a significant development for Zambia’s mining and aggregate industry, a state-of-the-art 300 tons per hour (TPH) cone crusher has been successfully installed, marking a new era in efficient and high-capacity crushing solutions. This achievement highlights the region’s commitment to modernizing its mining infrastructure and meeting growing demand for quality crushed materials.
Advanced Crushing Technology for Zambia’s Mining Sector
The newly installed 300TPH cone crusher boasts advanced engineering designed to deliver robust performance, high reliability, and operational efficiency. Cone crushers are preferred in mineral processing and aggregate production for their ability to crush hard and abrasive materials into uniform sizes, which are critical for further processing or construction use.
This particular model, engineered for a throughput of 300 tons per hour, is equipped with the latest features such as hydraulic adjustment systems, optimized crushing chambers, and wear-resistant components. These innovations ensure consistent crushing quality, reduced downtime, and lower maintenance costs, which are essential for mining operations striving for maximum productivity.
Installation and Commissioning
The installation project in Zambia was meticulously planned and executed by a team of skilled engineers and technicians in close collaboration with the local operators. The process included site preparation, equipment assembly, alignment, and thorough testing to guarantee optimal performance.
Once operational, the crusher underwent rigorous commissioning tests to confirm its crushing capacity and product quality. The positive outcome demonstrated the machine’s ability to handle the tough ores found in Zambia’s mining regions, including copper and other minerals, efficiently converting large rock pieces into the desired smaller sizes.
Project Background and Objectives
The Zambian customer, a well-established aggregate producer, initiated this project to meet rising demand for high-quality construction materials driven by national roadworks and urban development. The goal was to upgrade their existing capacity with a modern and reliable system capable of producing over 300 tons of crushed stone per hour.
Installation and commissioning of the equipment were completed within two months, thanks to close coordination between the equipment supplier’s technical team and the local engineering workforce. After successful trial runs, the system was declared fully operational in late June 2025.
