The main component of calcite is calcium carbonate, which is widely used as building materials and industrial raw materials. It has high application value and the profits of processing plants are also very objective. With the rapid development of various fields in recent years, the demand continues to rise. However, what equipment is good for crushing calcite? How much does a calcite crusher cost? This article provides detailed answers and attaches relevant customer production line examples for reference.
What equipment is best for crushing calcite?
The structure of calcite is relatively complex, with a Mohs hardness of level 3 and a relatively brittle nature. Calcite is used as a flux in the metallurgical industry and in the construction industry to produce cement and lime. Also used in plastics, paper, and toothpaste. Used as filling additive in food. Calcite is added to glass production, and the resulting glass becomes translucent, making it especially suitable for glass lampshades. For calcite crushing processing, it is generally better to choose equipment such as jaw crusher and impact crusher, which can not only meet industry standards but also meet customer needs.
- Jaw crusher
Feed particle size: 0-1280mm
Production capacity: 160-1510 tons/hour
Jaw crushers are generally used for coarse crushing. The crushing cavity is deep and there is no dead space. The raw materials have large particle sizes and there is no need to worry about material blockage. The wedge adjusts the discharge port, which reduces worker labor intensity and downtime. The particle size is uniform. It is helpful for the second-stage crushing process, coupled with the optimized motion parameters and large crushing ratio, it is very suitable for crushing large pieces of calcite.

- Impact crusher
Feed particle size: 0-700mm
Production capacity: 70-400 tons/hour
Impact crusher is generally used for medium crushing. It is a crushing machine that uses impact energy to crush materials. The crushing is carried out by repeated impact between the plate hammer and the impact plate. The new structure design has strong machine rigidity, the rotor has a large moment of inertia, and the finished product has good cubic shape, no tension and cracks, and high overall efficiency.

Calcite crushing production line process flow
Processing calcite into stone generally requires coarse crushing, medium-fine crushing, screening and other technological processes. We also need to consider raw material particle size, production requirements, budget, finished products, site, etc. Here, a technical manager has provided common configuration plans. For reference.
Customer plan: Guangxi customer calcite crushing production line site
Process flow: masterbatch stacking → vibrating feeder → jaw crusher → impact crusher → vibrating screen → qualified material → belt conveyor → silo storage.
Feed particle size: ≤650mm
Processing capacity: 200 tons per hour
Finished product specifications: 5-10-20-30mm
How much does a calcite crusher cost?
From the above, we learned that there are many types of calcite crusher equipment, and each model has slightly different functions and effects. The price is generally around tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands, and if it is equipped with a full set of production line equipment, the price is also different, plus the materials of each manufacturer There are differences in selection, workmanship and sales methods, so prices are unstable.
You can learn more through online consultation, and technical managers will provide you with real-time quotations and help with selection. The Shibang Group manufacturer is located at No. 1688, Gaoke East Road, Pudong New District, Shanghai. It is a large-scale enterprise integrating scientific research, production, and sales.
