Basalt is a common extrusive volcanic rock that is formed from the rapid cooling of lava. Due to its high hardness and abrasion resistance, basalt is often used as a construction material for roads, railways, and buildings. To make full use of the basalt resources, the basalt crusher has become an important tool for crushing basalt rocks into various sizes for different applications. This paper aims to introduce the basalt crusher and its applications in the construction industry.
Basalt Crusher
The basalt crusher is a crushing equipment that is designed to reduce the size of basalt rocks into various sizes for different applications. It is typically composed of a jaw crusher, a cone crusher, and a vertical shaft impactor (VSI) crusher. The jaw crusher is used to crush large-sized basalt rocks into smaller sizes, and then the cone crusher and VSI crusher are used to further reduce the size of the crushed basalt rocks. The basalt crusher is capable of producing different sizes of crushed basalt rocks, which can be used for various purposes.

Applications of Basalt Crusher in the Construction Industry
Basalt crusher has various applications in the construction industry, including:
- Road Construction: Crushed basalt rocks are used as aggregates for road construction. The basalt crusher can produce various sizes of crushed rocks that can be used as a base material for roads, highways, and other infrastructure projects.
- Railway Ballast: Crushed basalt rocks are also used as railway ballast. The basalt crusher can produce various sizes of crushed rocks that can be used as a stable foundation for railway tracks.
- Building Materials: Crushed basalt rocks can also be used as building materials. The basalt crusher can produce different sizes of crushed rocks that can be used as a construction material for buildings, bridges, and other structures.
- Landscaping: Crushed basalt rocks can be used for landscaping purposes. The basalt crusher can produce different sizes of crushed rocks that can be used as decorative stones for gardens, parks, and other outdoor spaces.
