The limestone crusher is equipment that can crush large limestone gravels about 600-1800mm into materials about 25mm or smaller.
It provides limestone crushed products in the construction industry because limestone is a key ingredient in the production of cement, concrete and other building materials. The size and type of crushers may vary according to the specific requirements of the application. You can check the types of limestone crusher below.
Different Types of Limestone Crushers
In the market, there are different kinds of crusher run limestone, like jaw crusher, cone crusher, and impact crusher.
However, which type of crusher machine is more suitable for process limestone materials.
In general, We usually recommend choosing jaw crusher and impact crusher as limestone crushing equipment.
Let’s learn the types limestone crusher below.
Jaw Type – For Primary Crushing
The jaw crusher for limestone is one of the most common and commonly used types of limestone crushers. It consists of a fixed jaw and a moving jaw, and the limestone is broken by the pressure and friction of the jaw.
The jaw crusher is suitable for crushing hard limestone, and has the advantages of high crushing ratio, large processing capacity and stable performance. We have three types of jaw machine crushers, you can choose the model suitable for your project by comparing the parameter table.

Why Use Jaw Crusher + Impact Crusher for Limestone Crushing?
In general, the impact crusher is adopted as the secondary limestone crushing process. Why the impact crusher reather than cone crusher is not the best choice?
- Crushing Efficiency and Output: Impact crushers generally have higher crushing efficiency and output than cone crushers. When processing less hard materials like limestone, impact crushers can provide higher productivity, producing the required fine particles more quickly.
- Low Maintenance Costs: Impact breakers usually have the characteristics of simple structure and easy maintenance. Compared with cone crushers, impact crushers have lower maintenance costs, and the costs of repairing and replacing wearing parts are relatively small.
- Applicability: Limestone is generally a relatively brittle material suitable for crushing by impact. Impact crushers are known for their impact crushing principle and are able to effectively process this type of material, resulting in high-quality finished products.
AIMIX engineers also have designed the limestone crushing solutions using the above configuration. Check one of limestone crushing solutions below.
Cuztomized Solution for Limestone Crushing – 300-350 Tons Per Hour
This set of solutions is the latest configuration of our engineers. It is suitable for medium and large projects with long-term production investment. This limestone crushing plant chooses the European version of the jaw crusher and a hydraulic impact crusher, which are main components of limestone crushers. Beside, vibrating screen cicular and vibrating feeder are also used in limestone crushing systems.
Diverse Application Fields Of Limestone Crusher
Limestone is a very common stone that is abundant in many regions. Therefore, the prospect of limestone crusher is very broad. In order to make limestone products have greater value-added benefits, its deep processing will be a very important development direction. Correspondingly, the demand for best crusher for limestone will also increase.
- Building materials: Limestone is one of the important components of building materials. Lime rock crushers break limestone blocks into the required particle size for making construction materials such as cement, concrete, mortar and plasterboard.
- Highway and railway construction: Limestone aggregate can be widely used in roadbed, road surface and rail cushion in the construction of highways, railways and other infrastructures. Lime stone crushers can crush limestone blocks into suitable aggregate sizes to meet the needs of road and railway construction.
- Metallurgical industry: In the metallurgical industry, limestone can be used in desulfurization, ironmaking, steelmaking and other links in the smelting limestone production process. Limestone crusher unit can break limestone blocks into the right size to provide the right supply of limestone.
- Chemical industry: Limestone has a wide range of applications in the chemical industry, such as the manufacture of chemical products such as lime, calcium hydroxide, and calcium oxide. Crusher of limestone can crush limestone blocks into required particle size to provide raw material for chemical production.
- Mining and Quarrying: Limestone crusher gravel machines play a key role in the mining and quarrying industry. Limestone is an important associated ore of many metal ores and non-metallic ores. The crusher can crush the limestone into a suitable size, which is convenient for the subsequent beneficiation and processing.
In addition, crusher machine for limestone can also play a role in fields such as agriculture, environmental protection and soil improvement. Most clients send us an inquiry for the limestone crusher plant mainly for building materials production, especially for cement or aggregate. And the limestone crusher are commonly used in cement plant. Learn more about its usages in this field.
Why Use Limestone Crusher in Cement Plant?
In the cement production process, limestone crusher is an indispensable equipment for crushing limestone raw materials. Here are the reasons to use a crusher of limestone:
- One of the main raw materials for cement production: the main component of cement is clinker, and limestone is one of the key raw materials for making clinker. Limestone contains calcium. After crushing, it can be used to make clinker in cement. Calcium oxide (CaO) is an important component of the cement reaction.
- Controlling particle size and distribution: There are strict requirements on the particle size and distribution of raw materials in cement production. By using a limestone crusher, the particle size and distribution of the crushed limestone can be controlled to ensure compliance with the standards and specifications required for cement production.
Therefore, the use of limestone crushers in cement plants is to crush limestone raw materials into particle sizes suitable for cement production. If you want to establish a limestone crusher cement plant, the limestone crusher process is the necessary. When you need to purchase the crusher machine, welcome to contact us for details.
Working Process of The Limestone Crushers
We can divide the whole working process into the following procedures as follows:
Material Feeding
Limestone is transported from the mining site or stone stockyard to the inlet of the jaw crusher via a conveyor belt or other loading equipment.
Primary Crushing (Jaw Crusher)
Limestone enters the jaw crusher, where it is crushed into smaller particles through friction and compression. The jaw crusher is typically the initial crushing equipment in the crushing production line, used to break down the raw material into larger chunks.
Secondary Crushing (Impact Crusher)
The crushed limestone chunks from the jaw crusher enter the impact crusher, where crushing is achieved through the high-speed rotation of the rotor and collision with the material. The impact crusher further breaks down the large chunks of limestone from the jaw crusher into the desired particle size and shape.
Screening and Grading
The crushed limestone particles are screened and graded using a vibrating screen or other screening equipment to separate particles of the required size. Limestone particles of different sizes can be used for various applications, such as construction, concrete, road paving, etc.
Conveying and Storage
Limestone particles that meet the requirements are transported to storage silos or finished product stockyards via conveyor belts or other conveying equipment. The finished limestone can be used for production or sold as needed.
From the above steps, you can know how the limestone crusher works. If you want to have better understanding of the process, you can learn more in the following video:
