Mobile Crusher for Iron Ore Processing in the Philippines
- Remote Mine Accessibility:
- Over 70% of Philippine iron ore deposits are in rugged, off-grid areas (e.g., Surigao, Samar). Liming’s K Series Mobile Plants operate without fixed infrastructure.
- Cost Efficiency:
- On-site crushing reduces transport costs by 30–50%, critical for low-grade ore profitability.
- Scalability:
- From small-scale magnetite mines to large hematite operations, Liming’s modular designs (e.g., K3 to K7 Series) adapt to varying demands.
- DENR Compliance:
- Integrated dust suppression and noise reduction meet strict environmental standards.
- Feed Size: Up to 1,500mm (post-blasting chunks).
- Output Size: Adjustable 150–300mm.
- Capacity: 400–600 TPH (tonnes per hour).
- Key Features:
- Hydraulic wedge discharge for clog-free operation.
- Reinforced Mn-steel jaw plates (1,200+ hour lifespan).
- Feed Size: ≤300mm.
- Output Size: 0–30mm (adjustable via rotor speed).
- Capacity: 350–450 TPH.
- Key Features:
- Four-port rotor for uniform shaping.
- Anti-clogging design for wet ore during monsoons.
- Model: K3-280 (for 200–400 TPH) or K7-500 (500–800 TPH).
- Screening Layers: 3-layer vibrating screen (10mm/30mm/50mm mesh).
- Mobility: Hybrid power (diesel + electric) for fuel savings.
- High transport costs due to 120km haulage to ports.
- Monsoon rains caused downtime in traditional setups.
- Equipment: Liming K3-280 Mobile Plant with C6X160 Jaw Crusher + VSI6X1263 Impact Crusher.
- Process:
- Feed: 800–1,200mm raw ore → C6X crushes to 150–300mm.
- Secondary Crushing: VSI6X refines to 0–30mm (95% efficiency).
- Screening: 3YK3075 screen separates 0–10mm (40%), 10–30mm (55%).
- Output: 380 TPH sustained (22,800 tons/week).
- Cost Savings:
- Transport costs reduced by 45% via on-site processing.
- Jaw plate replacement interval extended to 1,200 hours (vs. industry 800 hours).
- Uptime: 98.5% despite heavy rains, thanks to IoT predictive maintenance.
- Ore Type:
- Magnetite (hard, abrasive): Prioritize C6X Jaw Crusher + VSI6X Impact combo.
- Hematite (softer): K Series with single-stage VSI6X may suffice.
- Site Conditions:
- Remote areas: Opt for hybrid-powered K3/K7 plants.
- High moisture: Select VSI6X with anti-clogging rotors.
- Budget:
- Entry-level: K3-280 (~$250,000 USD).
- High-capacity: K7-500 (~$750,000 USD) with leasing options.
- Daily:
- Check C6X jaw plate wear (use Liming’s laser thickness gauge).
- Clean VSI6X rotor tips to prevent ore buildup.
- Monthly:
- Replace hydraulic filters to combat tropical humidity.
- Inspect K Series chassis for corrosion resistance.
- Software:
- Enable Liming’s IoT Remote Monitoring for real-time alerts on bearing temperature and vibration.

FAQs About Liming Mobile Crushers
Q: Can Liming crushers process lateritic iron ore?
A: Yes! The VSI6X’s “rock-on-rock” crushing is ideal for laterite’s clay-rich composition.
Q: What’s the lead time for delivery to the Philippines?
A: Standard K3/K7 plants ship in 8–12 weeks, with local assembly support in Manila.
Q: Are spare parts available locally?
A: Liming stocks wear parts (jaw plates, rotors) in Cebu and Davao warehouses.
Conclusion
For Philippine iron ore miners, Liming Heavy Industry’s mobile crushers offer a perfect blend of mobility, durability, and DENR compliance. Whether processing magnetite in Surigao or hematite in Luzon, Liming’s C6X Jaw Crusher, VSI6X Impact Crusher, and K Series Mobile Plants deliver unmatched ROI through reduced costs and maximized uptime.
