Pakistan has a growing mining and minerals sector, and mineral crushing equipment plays a crucial role in processing materials like limestone, coal, gypsum, marble, and other ores. Here’s an overview of mineral crushing equipment in Pakistan:
Types of Mineral Crushing Equipment Used in Pakistan
1. Jaw Crushers – Used for primary crushing of hard rocks (e.g., granite, basalt).
2. Impact Crushers – Suitable for softer materials like limestone and gypsum.
3. Cone Crushers – Ideal for secondary/tertiary crushing of medium-hard to hard minerals.
4. Hammer Crushers – Effective for brittle materials (coal, salt, gypsum).
5. Roll Crushers – Used for fine crushing of coal and other soft minerals.
6. Mobile Crushers – Increasingly popular for on-site mining operations.
