Quick Answer
UNIQUEMAC designed and supplied a 100 TPH Stationary Crushing Plant for a mining customer in Chile using a proven two-stage crushing process:
Primary Crushing: PE Series Jaw Crusher
Secondary Crushing: ZX Series Compound Cone Crusher
Supporting Equipment: Vibrating Feeder, Belt Conveyors, Vibrating Screen, and Electrical Control System
This configuration is ideal for processing medium- to high-hardness materials such as copper ore, iron ore, granite, basalt, and other hard rocks. It offers stable production capacity, excellent aggregate shape, reliable operation, and low maintenance costs.
After commissioning, the customer expressed high satisfaction with the plant’s performance, finished product quality, and after-sales service.
Chile is the world’s largest copper producer and one of the most important mining countries globally. Its mining industry places extremely high demands on crushing equipment in terms of production capacity, operational reliability, and long-term operating costs.
As China’s mining equipment manufacturing technology continues to improve, more and more customers in South America are choosing Chinese-made crushing equipment. High efficiency, reliable performance, competitive pricing, and comprehensive technical support have enabled Chinese manufacturers to gain increasing recognition in the global mining market.
Recently, UNIQUEMAC successfully delivered a 100 TPH Stationary Crushing Plant to a customer in Chile. After installation and commissioning, the plant has been operating smoothly, consistently achieving the designed capacity while producing high-quality aggregates. The customer highly praised the equipment performance and technical support provided throughout the project.
This successful project not only represents another overseas delivery but also demonstrates UNIQUEMAC’s expertise in crushing plant design, equipment manufacturing, and international project execution.
In this case study, we will introduce the project background, equipment configuration, operating performance, and customer feedback to help mining companies better understand how to select an efficient stationary crushing plant.
Chile is one of the world’s leading mining countries, rich in copper, iron ore, gold, lithium, and many other mineral resources. As mining production continues to expand, local companies require crushing equipment that offers higher productivity, greater reliability, lower operating costs, and comprehensive after-sales support.
The customer in this project operates a quarry and mining business in Chile. Due to increasing production demand, the existing crushing equipment could no longer meet capacity requirements and maintenance costs continued to rise. As a result, the customer decided to build a new 100 TPH Stationary Crushing Plant to improve production efficiency and support downstream mineral processing.
During the project evaluation, the customer focused on several key factors:
Can the plant consistently achieve 100 TPH capacity?
Is it suitable for hard rock crushing?
Can it produce the required final product size?
Is maintenance simple and downtime minimized?
Does the supplier provide reliable overseas technical support?
After comparing multiple suppliers and technical proposals, the customer selected UNIQUEMAC as the project partner.
In mining operations, no single crusher can efficiently perform both primary and secondary crushing.
Therefore, the combination of a PE Series Jaw Crusher and a ZX Series Compound Cone Crusher has become one of the most widely used crushing solutions worldwide.
The process is simple and efficient:
Stage One — PE Series Jaw Crusher
The jaw crusher performs primary crushing, reducing large rocks into a suitable size for secondary crushing.
Stage Two — ZX Series Compound Cone Crusher
The compound cone crusher further crushes the material to the desired particle size while improving particle shape.
The PE Jaw Crusher handles the “large rocks,” while the ZX Compound Cone Crusher produces high-quality aggregates. Together, they ensure stable and efficient plant operation.
The PE Series Jaw Crusher is one of the most widely used primary crushers in mining and quarrying industries. It is designed to process large rocks and deliver uniform material for secondary crushing.
The PE Jaw Crusher uses a compression crushing principle.
The motor drives the eccentric shaft through a belt pulley, causing the movable jaw to move toward and away from the fixed jaw. Material is crushed through repeated compression, bending, and splitting before being discharged through the outlet.
Deep crushing chamber for higher feeding capacity
Large crushing ratio
Suitable for materials up to 320 MPa compressive strength
Simple structure and reliable operation
Easy maintenance and low operating costs
After primary crushing, the material enters the ZX Compound Cone Crusher for secondary crushing.
Using the laminated crushing principle, the ZX crusher produces better particle shape while reducing flaky and elongated materials.
Material is compressed continuously between the moving cone and the fixed cone. Through repeated laminated crushing, the material reaches the desired size before being discharged.
Compared with conventional cone crushers, laminated crushing provides better particle shape and reduces over-crushing.
Hydraulic discharge opening adjustment
Hydraulic cavity clearing system
Easy liner replacement without filler
Multiple crushing chamber options
Capacity range from 80 to 610 TPH
This makes it an ideal solution for 100 TPH crushing plants while leaving room for future capacity expansion.
Several factors contribute to the excellent operating performance of this crushing plant.
The vibrating feeder continuously supplies material to the PE Jaw Crusher, preventing overload and improving crushing efficiency.
The PE Jaw Crusher efficiently handles large rocks while ensuring stable material flow to the secondary crusher.
The ZX Compound Cone Crusher provides consistent product size and excellent particle shape through laminated crushing technology.
The integrated electrical control system coordinates feeding, crushing, screening, and conveying operations, improving efficiency while reducing labor intensity.
After commissioning, the customer expressed high satisfaction with the entire crushing plant.
According to the customer:
“The crushing plant operates very smoothly. Production remains stable at the designed capacity, downtime is minimal, and the finished product fully meets our production requirements.”
The customer also highly appreciated UNIQUEMAC’s installation guidance, commissioning support, and technical service.
“From equipment manufacturing to on-site commissioning and after-sales support, UNIQUEMAC maintained excellent communication and helped us complete the project successfully.”
Despite the long distance between China and Chile, the customer was impressed by UNIQUEMAC’s professional engineering team and reliable after-sales service.
It is suitable for granite, basalt, limestone, river stone, copper ore, iron ore, and other medium- to high-hardness materials.
The PE Jaw Crusher performs primary crushing by reducing large rocks into smaller sizes suitable for secondary crushing.
The ZX Compound Cone Crusher is ideal for secondary and tertiary crushing of medium- and high-hardness materials, providing excellent particle shape and high crushing efficiency.
