Dust and Noise Control Technologies in Metal Ore Crushing Systems

Optimizing Metal Ore Crushing: How Dust & Noise Control Boosts Efficiency

When it comes to metal ore processing, the first step—crushing—sets the tone for everything that follows. A poorly designed primary crushing system can lead to inefficiencies downstream, increased maintenance costs, and environmental compliance issues. At Zhengzhou KONGLIAN Machinery Co., Ltd., we’ve helped over 70 international mining operations optimize their ‘coarse + medium’ crushing systems, particularly through precise control of feed sizes between 0–1020mm.

Why Feed Size Matters More Than You Think

In real-world applications, a consistent feed size range of 0–1020mm allows for better matching with secondary crushers like impact or cone crushers. For example, in a case study from a copper mine in Chile, reducing variability in feed size by 35% led to a 22% increase in throughput at the secondary stage. This is not just theoretical—it’s what happens when you align physics with process design.

The Power of Integrated Systems: Jaw + Cone + Smart Screening

We don’t just sell machines—we engineer solutions. Our clients often ask: “How do I avoid bottlenecks?” The answer lies in smart equipment pairing. Using a PE jaw crusher as the coarse breaker (handling up to 1020mm) followed by a cone crusher for mid-stage reduction ensures optimal particle shape and reduced wear on downstream equipment. In a gold mine project in Ghana, this setup cut energy consumption per tonne by 18%, while improving final product gradation.

Dust & Noise Control: Not Optional, But Strategic

Environmental regulations are tightening globally—from EU directives to Middle East sustainability standards. That’s why our patented dust containment systems (with >92% capture efficiency) and noise-reducing enclosures (cutting decibel levels by 15–20 dB) are now standard in most projects. One client in Saudi Arabia reported a 40% drop in worker complaints after installing our modular dust control modules.

Our global service network—spanning 12 countries with local engineers—means faster deployment, less downtime, and higher ROI. Whether you're managing a small-scale operation in Indonesia or a large mine in Australia, our team tailors every system to your specific rock type, throughput needs, and environmental goals.
