The crushing process of calcium carbonate
The crushing process of calcium carbonate can be divided into three stages: primary crushing, secondary crushing, and tertiary crushing. Each stage requires different types of crushers to achieve the desired size reduction.
In the primary crushing stage, jaw crusher or gyratory crusher is typically used. These machines are designed to handle large rocks and feed them into a conveyor belt that transports the material to a vibrating screen. The vibrating screen separates the crushed calcium carbonate into different sizes.

During secondary crushing, cone crushers or impact crushers are commonly used. These machines further reduce the size of the calcium carbonate particles and produce a more uniform product. The crushed material is then screened again to ensure proper sizing.
In the final stage of tertiary crushing, vertical shaft impact crushers (VSI) or horizontal shaft impact crushers (HSI) may be utilized. These machines finely crush the calcium carbonate particles, creating a fine powder suitable for various applications.
The process of crushing calcium carbonate involves multiple stages and different types of equipment working together to achieve efficient size reduction. By selecting appropriate crushers for each stage, operators can optimize their production process and obtain high-quality products with consistent particle sizes.
