Iron Ore Mine to Production Flow Chart
Introduction
The extraction and processing of iron ore involve multiple stages, from mining to final production. A well-structured flow chart ensures operational efficiency and cost-effectiveness. Liming Heavy Industry, a leading manufacturer of crushing and screening equipment, provides robust solutions for each stage of iron ore processing. This article explores the iron ore mine to production flow chart and how our equipment enhances productivity.
Iron Ore Mine to Production Flow Chart
The typical iron ore processing flow includes:
- Drilling & Blasting: Iron ore is extracted through drilling and blasting in open-pit or underground mines.
- Primary Crushing: Large iron ore rocks are reduced in size using primary crusher such as jaw crusher (e.g., PE Series Jaw Crusher) or gyratory crusher.
- Secondary & Tertiary Crushing: Further size reduction is achieved through cone crusher (e.g., HPT Series Hydraulic Cone Crusher) or impact crusher (e.g., CI5X Series Impact Crusher).
- Screening: The crushed ore is screened using vibrating screens (e.g., S5X Series Vibrating Screen) to separate different particle sizes.
- Grinding: The screened ore undergoes grinding in ball mills or vertical roller mills to produce fine powder.
- Beneficiation: Magnetic separation, flotation, or gravity separation is applied to enhance iron content.
- Pelletizing/Sintering: The concentrate is processed into pellets or sinter for blast furnace use.
- Final Product: The processed iron ore is transported for steel production.
