150-250t/h Pebble Crushing Plant

Project Background & Key Challenges

As demands from rail and hydropower sectors climb—think high-speed railbeds or mega-infrastructure projects like Gezhouba—clients face not only stricter particle gradation (0–5mm) targets but also the need for wear-resistant solutions capable of 150–250tph steady flow. Add in rising production costs, and you’ve got a real challenge on your hands.

How did SBM tackle it? Simple—by starting at the mineral source. From abrasion resistance analysis to dynamic material flow simulations, every hurdle was studied, simulated, and solved before a single bolt was tightened.

Process Design: Efficiency Built from the Ground Up

This 3-stage setup doesn’t mess around. We lead with the C6X Series Jaw Crusher, engineered for stability, precision and long service intervals. That’s followed by the HST Single Cylinder Hydraulic Cone Crusher—compact, powerful, and flexible enough to toggle between secondary and fine crushing. Finally, shaping and refinement are handled by VSI6X Sand Maker, tailored for cubical output with strict flake content control.

Smart conveyors link all stages with real-time load feedback to reduce unnecessary transfer losses. Oversized particles loop back automatically, and dust control? Negative pressure suction with intelligent water mist systems—no shortcuts, no compromises. Everything is monitored via centralized control panels tracking vibration, temperature and hydraulic loads around the clock.

Critical Equipment Highlights & SBM Innovations

C6X Jaw Crusher: Built to Last
With alloy-heavy moving jaws and forged eccentric shafts, this crusher outperforms traditional models by up to 4x in structural durability. Want to adjust gap settings? Forget about shim packs—the hydraulic wedge system lets you fine-tune output without stopping the machine. That’s real efficiency.

HST Cone Crusher: Smart, Safe, Strong
Using a central hydraulic piston, this beast not only adjusts discharge ports in real-time but also detects and expels metal contamination before damage occurs. Multiple crushing cavities enable mode switching under the same chassis—saving both space and capital costs. Plus, the auto-optimization system adjusts internal pressure and motor load on the fly. It’s smart tech that thinks like a seasoned operator.

VSI6X Sand Maker: Finer Sand, Fewer Problems
Top lid hydraulic lifting design means faster maintenance—swap wear parts in under 1.5 hours. Lubrication? Not your old-school grease guns—thin oil circulation cuts friction drag by 30% while increasing machine life. Need consistent 2.6–3.0 modulus sand for premium concrete? This unit delivers every time. Plus, you can flip modes from crushing to shaping based on real-time demand shifts. Now that’s adaptability.

Measured Results & Future-Proof Planning

What’s the real-world payoff? Energy use is just 1.8kWh per ton—outclassing the typical 2.4kWh industry norm by a full 25%. On tough river pebbles, output remains stable around 240tph while metal wear cost sits at a mere $0.011 per ton. Flake content stays consistently under 10%—well under ASTM C33 thresholds. That’s the kind of spec you need if your concrete’s destined for bridges, tunnels or structural core fills.

And it doesn’t stop there. Future enhancements will feature IoT predictive monitoring for liners and bearings, minimizing downtime and maximizing part longevity. A modular expansion system supports a seamless scale-up to 400tph—without redoing your base infrastructure. And yes, hybrid power integrations are being explored to cut CO₂ emissions by up to 40% before 2030.

Conclusion: When Nature Runs Short, SBM Builds Smarter

Let’s face it—natural river sand is running dry. But does that mean slowing down? Not if you’re backed by a crushing system that’s faster, leaner and smarter. SBM’s 150–250tph aggregate solution isn’t just another plant—it’s a leap toward sustainable, industrial-scale production. You want higher output, finer gradation, lower cost per ton? Why settle for less?
