Basalt in Costa Rica is dense and abrasive, leading to rapid wear of conventional crusher parts and frequent downtime
Costa Rican construction standards (referencing ASTM C33) require continuous gradation of aggregates—including the critical 3/8-1/2 inch fine-grained fraction—to ensure concrete workability and strength
Rural areas often experience ±10% voltage fluctuations, which can damage precision crushing equipment
As a country focused on eco-tourism, Costa Rica enforces strict dust emission limits (≤18mg/m³) and low-noise requirements for industrial equipment
Component | Model / Specification | Mining Advantage |
Primary Jaw Crusher | PEX250*1000 Jaw Crusher (trituradora de mandíbula) | Extra-thick manganese steel liners resist basalt abrasion Crushing force of 2000kN handles high-hardness raw material Compact design fits mountainous plant layouts |
Secondary Crusher | PYB600 Cone Crusher (trituradora cónica) | Wear-resistant cone mantle lasts 6+ months in basalt crushing Low vibration design complies with local noise standards |
| Screening Equipment | 3-Layer Vibrating Screen (criba vibratoria de 3 capas) | High-efficiency screening with 95% classification accuracy Customized screen meshes (9.5mm, 12.7mm, 19mm) match output specs) |
Control System | PLC Automation with Voltage Stabilizer | Compensates for ±10% power fluctuations to avoid shutdowns One-click operation reduces labor costs for local operators |
Transformed low-cost basalt ore into high-value construction aggregates, increasing profit margins by 200%.✅ Precise Output (Full Size Coverage):
0-3/8 inch (0-9.5mm): 7 TPH (for masonry mortar, supplied to local brick factories)
3/8-1/2 inch (9.5-12.7mm): 6 TPH (for fine-grained concrete and precast wall panels)
1/2-3/4 inch (12.7-19mm): 8 TPH (for structural concrete, used in San José residential high-rises)
93% uptime over 10 months, even with frequent power fluctuations
Passed Costa Rica's MINAE (Ministry of Environment) inspection with dust emissions at 11mg/m³
Created 12 local jobs and reduced aggregate transportation costs by 45% for regional construction projects
The PEX250*1000's thickened liners and PYB600's wear-resistant cone mantle address basalt’s high abrasiveness—critical for reducing maintenance frequency
Built-in voltage stabilizer adapts to rural Costa Rica's unstable power grid, avoiding costly production interruptions
Modular design allows easy transportation and installation in mountainous areas; compact footprint saves land use costs
| Feature | Traditional Crushing Line (Jaw + Impact Crusher) | PEX250*1000 + PYB600 System | Benefit |
| Energy Use | 75kWh/ton | 60kWh/ton | 20% Energy Savings (lowers operational costs) |
| Wear Part Lifespan | 3 months | 6.5 months | 117% Longer Service Life (reduces downtime) |
| Gradation Qualification Rate | 85% | 95% | Higher Compliance with ASTM C33 (avoids rework) |
| Changeover Time | 90 minutes | 20 minutes | Faster Adaptation to Project Demands |
"We tested 3 different crushing systems before choosing WOCATO's PEX250*1000 + PYB600 line. Basalt is notoriously hard to crush, but this system runs smoothly even through power dips, and the aggregates meet every standard our construction clients require. The dust control is exceptional—we had zero complaints from nearby communities. This system isn't just equipment; it's a reliable partner for Costa Rica's construction boom!"
