In these economically challenging times, it's more important than ever to buy equipment wisely. The right equipment can help your company weather economic ups and downs, but a bad purchase can hurt your ability to compete. It's crucial to analyze the pros and cons of each purchase, including the potential return on investment. In fact, buying new equipment may not be the best option; it may be wiser to buy used equipment, lease or rent, or to avoid acquiring machinery entirely.

Making the right equipment purchase

Be sure you have answers to these questions before you buy. Avoid being influenced by aggressive marketing campaigns that make unrealistic claims about technology or equipment. Every business reality is different.

Be innovative

In today's competitive business world, being innovative in everything you do is a key to success. Innovation is really about responding to change in a creative way; one way to do so is by acquiring equipment or technology that helps you improve your efficiency. For instance, your new equipment might help you streamline your operations and create better products and services that appeal to a niche market. New technology might also be useful in your research and development efforts or in improving customer service. Above all, you want your customers to know that you're investing in innovation; it's a clear message that you have their evolving needs in mind.

Know your financing options

Every method of financing has advantages and disadvantages, so carefully evaluate each option. The factors to be considered vary from one company to the other, depending on your company's credit record or line of business.

Think safety first

A healthy and safe work environment means your employees and your company can be more productive, and this rule applies to your equipment and technology purchases as well. Your suppliers are responsible for selling you equipment that can be used safely, but you are responsible for ensuring that your employees follow safety rules. For more information, visit Workplace Health and Safety, a site run by Human Resources and Skills Development Canada.

Keep it green

When purchasing equipment or technology, be sure that it's energy efficient. Not only will you be saving money, but you'll also be contributing to the health of the planet. Research the environmental impact of your new equipment. Find out how to dispose of your existing equipment in a way that minimizes its negative impact on the environment.

Interested in saving money on a backhoe, loader, jaw crusher, sand maker or belt conveyor? Sometimes, buying used mining, construction or heavy equipment is a smart way to go and makes sense. Other times, you'd be better off going home empty handed. Here are a few ways you can make sure you get a good deal on used construction equipment.

Look carefully...

Go over the used equipment you're investigating slowly and carefully. New paint jobs are relatively cheap and can cover up a lot of problems. Look for evidence of rust patching or cover-up – poke suspect areas with a tool to be sure. Check underneath the vehicle for evidence of leaks. Inspect hoses and valves before and after the test drive, so you easily spot fresh leaks.

... but use all your senses

When you're testing out used construction equipment, don't go by your eyes alone. Listen to the engine and the hydraulics as you're testing it out – is the machine straining more than it should? After it's been running for a while, are there any smells of burning oil or electrical problems? Do the controls feel as responsive as they should?

Review Maintenance Records

Most users keep a history of all the maintenance repairs performed to the equipment. Many log hours against the actual components and requesting these would be very prudent and helpful for your assessment. Engine hours may differ from hours on hoist cylinders or tracks for example so understanding the life of components will help you determine fair market value.

If possible, buy from established companies or dealers

You are much more likely to have problems if you buy used construction equipment from individuals or a business that does not focus on construction or mining. Mining Machinery companies have several advantages when it comes to used equipment:

a.They have a reputation in the industry;

b.They know that if you're buying used equipment now, you're likely to need more equipment in the future and making sure you are a return client is important to them;

c.They have regular P.M. schedules and equipment is likely to be better maintained then if purchased from a small unknown company;

d.They're better able to inspect and repair any potential problems with the equipment as they have the staff on hand to maintain the equipment;

With these tips in mind, you should be able to find a used piece of construction equipment that can still get the job done.

Tucked away in the northeastern section of Beijing just outside the Fourth Ring Road stands what was once the pinnacle of Chinese industry. The scale of China's manufacturing capacity and its domestic market for machinery are remaking the industry's international landscape. China's dynamism presents opportunities for foreign machinery makers as an export and investment destination, as well as an up-and-coming source of capital. Mining machinery is the machines directly used for the mineral mining and beneficiation, including mining machinery and mineral processing machinery. Broadly speaking, exploration machinery also belongs to mining machinery category. In addition, many other equipments like cranes, conveyors, fans and drainage machinery are also applied in mining operations.

Mining machines are the equipments used for the exploitation of valuable minerals including digging machinery for the mining of metal ores and non-metallic minerals, coal mining machinery for the mining of coal, oil drilling machinery for the exploitation of oil, etc. The first wind moving wafer shearer was designed by a British engineer named Walker, and was successfully manufactured in about 1868. Beneficiation is the process of choosing valuable minerals from the collected raw materials according to their differences in the physical properties, physicochemical properties and chemical properties. The machinery that implemented this choosing process is called beneficiation machinery. Beneficiation machinery can be divided into crushing, grinding, screening, sorting and dehydration machines. The commonly used crushing machines are jaw crushers, gyratory crushers, cone crushers, roll crushers and impact crushers and so on. Drum mill is one of the commonly used grinding machines including rod mill, ball mill, pebble mill, etc. Hydraulic and mechanical grading machines are widely used in wet classification work.

China's main cost advantage is, of course, inexpensive labour. As a corollary of having the world's largest population, China also has the world's largest labour force. The machinery industry alone currently employs around 20 million people, and they are paid wages far lower that those paid in any other major machinery producing country. Much of the resulting cost savings are then transferred to international consumers via lower product prices for exports. Although wages in China have increased substantially in recent years, the average rate of USD 0.40 per hour in 2008 was well below the rates of the US, Japan and Germany, all with hourly wages above USD 20.

Currently there are two problems existed in China's mining machinery industry. First, the comprehensive strength of the mining machinery enterprises is not strong. The majority of enterprises are at a standstill of energy and capital investment in scientific research, new product development, technological innovation and enterprise management. Variety of domestic mining machinery products can not meet the various requirements, especially the critical needed key equipments for the national construction. And there are problems of low technology content, low additional value and unstable quality of products, low labour productivity and so on. Second, a series questions of product variety, technology, quality, service, etc. have led to the low actual contribution rate of the mining machinery industry to the domestic mining industry. Henan Hongxing Mining Machinery Co., Ltd. lays much emphasis on the quality and clients. We serve clients with the quality guideline of being responsible for every working procedure, every product and every client. What we have done is for the clients and we believe that quality is the best way to develop market. All of the products have passed the authentication of ISO9001. Hongxing Brand is the Chinese Famous Brand. Reliable and stable quality is the key to success. Our products are well known at home and abroad. Now we have tens of thousands of users throughout China and more than 30 world markets.

As China's machinery industry continues to progress, the question for the international manufacturer is how to react. A number of strategic options are available for international firms to integrate their businesses with China's machinery-making potential. Although China is the world's largest exporter of machinery, the opportunity still exists to export to and invest in certain products to China, particularly for innovative products using cutting-edge technology. It is often a matter of pride for Chinese manufacturers and a symbol of quality to have foreign-made capital equipment. When touring a Chinese factory the manager will often boast of possessing a German or American-made production line. The reputations conferred by the brand names of international companies still outweigh those of Chinese brands—Caterpillar is far more renowned than Henan Hongxing. Foreign firms are also noted for their after sales service, an area still relatively unemphasised by Chinese companies.

In the 1970s, China's financing and construction of a 1,870 km-long railway giving landlocked Zambia access to the Tanzanian port of Dar es Salaam was a monument to Chinese engagement and solidarity with Africa in a previous era. In a flush of post-colonial exuberance, Africa was undergoing a construction boom. The China that built the railway in Africa in the 1970s is a distant shadow of the China of today that routinely builds railways, roads, ports and other infrastructure in various parts of the world. In the 2000s, as the size of China's economy in quick succession surpassed that of Italy, France, the UK, and Germany, China's energy consumption expanded four times faster than expected to 16% of global demand in 2006.

Instead of a boom of new steel and concrete, Africa experienced decades of lost growth. In 2008, the World Bank estimted that access to the most basic services in Africa increased only modestly between the early 1990s and the early 2000s, and only slightly in the last decade. Electricity, for example, is still available to little more than 20% of Africa's total population, and piped water to just 12%.

Yet now a new China with vastly different priorities and strategic outlook is back in Africa, where it is instrumental in Africa's new construction boom that is reshaping the business landscape on the continent. In contrast to its piecemeal interaction with African countries in previous decades, China is now comprehensively engaged with almost all of Africa's 54 countries – lending money, providing aid, trading, investing, and more than all else: building infrastructure and extracting resources. This over-simplified description of China's business in Africa goes to the heart of how Africa's business landscape is changing under the influence of a new superpower hungry for natural resources and well-suited to provide Africa with something it is sorely in need of: infrastructure.

Along with the US and emerging economies such as Brazil and India, China's imports from Africa are as expected characterised by a disproportionate share of oil and minerals. China's trade with Africa has as a result been very lucrative for resource-rich African countries, and these African commodity suppliers have become crucial suppliers for China. South Africa is China's only African trade partner from which it imports substantial amounts of products that are not resources, while China's leading suppliers of oil (Angola), Manganese (South Africa), chromium (South Africa), cobalt (the DRC), and platinum (South Africa) are all African.

In 2011,Janpan earthquake, China contributed amount of people and finance, and also machinery such as excvavtors, cranes, jaw crushers, impact crushers, belt conveyors and so on. Africa is now China's largest market in terms of contract revenue with 41.1%, even more than Asia with 36%. Similar to Chinese trade and investment in Africa, the revenue of Chinese contractors is highly concentrated in a few resource-rich countries. In 2009, the leading six countries (Algeria, Angola, Sudan, Nigeria, Libya and Ethiopia), mostly oil and gas-related economies, accounted for USD 18.1 billion or 71% of China's total revenue (see chart below).

In April, a Chinese official acknowledged that China is on the verge of overtaking the US to become the world's biggest consumer of energy. To keep up with demand, China's natural gas imports more than doubled to 6.3 billion cubic meters in Q1 2011 from a year earlier. China also plans to invest RMB 400 billion (USD 62.54 billion) in the construction of four hydroelectric dams to boost the share of non-fossil fuels in national energy consumption. Wind power is also a part of this strategy as China will boost its offshore wind power installed capacity to five gigawatts to form a complete technological and industrial chain.

An uncertain global economic outlook due to the ongoing debt crisis in the Euro zone and the recent downgrade of the US debt rating, along with a large scale power crisis during the busy summer season are threatening to slow China's growth in the second half of 2011. However, looking to diversify its export destinations and build upon its status as the world's second-largest economy, China has continued to increase its footprint around the world, with Premier Wen Jiabao signing USD 15 billion worth of deals in Germany in June along with an additional USD 4.3 billion worth in the UK.

In April, Shanghai Electric Group Co. announced it had won a USD 1.1 billion contract to expand a natural gas-fired power plant currently under construction in Zubaidiyeh, southeast of Baghdad. The company also announced in April that they had signed an agreement with KSK Energy of India to export 125 units of 2 MW wind turbines to India, which marks Shanghai Electric's first major international wind turbine sale. The company expects India to become its largest export market, absorbing half its exports including wind turbines and thermal power units.

It was reported in August that Apple is currently in talks with China Mobile, the world's largest carrier by subscribers, to officially introduce the iPhone on the carrier's home-grown TDSCDMA network. A mutually beneficial deal would help Apple meet upwardly mobile Chinese consumers' growing demands for its products, while helping China Mobile attract more 3G subscribers. Although it seems unlikely that Apple will meet its target of opening 25 stores in the mainland by 2012, its four existing stores are the most heavily trafficked Apple stores in the world.

According to a report by Off-Highway Research (a consultancy specialising in the research and analysis of international construction), China's share of the global construction machinery market jumped from 18% in 2002 to 32% in 2009 in terms of sales volume (see chart above). China's three leading pioneers in this regard are Sany Heavy Industry, Zoomlion and XCMG, which have emerged as the three dominant manufacturers that together account for about 30% of the market in China, larger than the top three foreign companies active in China (see chart below). Indeed, these three are now ranked in the top ten in terms of sales revenue globally.

Though the industry in China is highly fragmented with over 900 companies vying for market share, a majority of them only manufacture components or engage in sub-assembly due to the hefty upfront financial investments that are required. In addition, intense competition between both domestic and foreign participants as well as rising demand for improved and advanced technology have forced small operators to either be acquired by more established players or simply exit the game.

It is worth noting that foreign enterprises have had little opportunity to compete against local competitors in this consolidation drive due to regulatory restrictions, and have been unable to acquire majority stakes in joint ventures with domestic firms. This has allowed local rivals to gather market share from foreign companies and at the same time narrow the capability and quality gap by integrating independent enterprises' abilities via strategic acquisitions. Moreover, foreign enterprises have simply not been able to increase production fast enough to meet rising demand, diluting their market shares.

Over the years, Chinese companies in various industries have successfully moved up the value chain by offering a wide range of products and the construction machinery industry is no different. Foreign companies have historically served the Chinese excavator market by leveraging their strong expertise and precision quality. Yet according to CCMA data, Chinese companies now control one-third of the global excavator market, up from 22% in 2006. Such strategic moves have undeniably boosted their overall competitiveness and allowed them to capture market share from their foreign competitors in China and in other emerging markets.

China's three leading construction machinery manufacturers seem well placed to achieve these goals, yet each of them still have much potential to improve their technology. To be sure, to enhance their competitive position, Chinese machinery manufacturers are constantly upgrading their technological capabilities and focusing on technical innovation, but they still have some ground to cover before they start taking on the world leaders. That said, these firms have demonstrated a remarkable ability to incorporate technology and quickly adapt. As a case in point, Sany invented the first 66-metre truck-mounted concrete pump in the world.

Among these key differences, there is one commonality that exists in the internationalisation strategy of all three of China's major machinery manufacturers - they have been aggressively marketing their product overseas though new distributing channels with a core focus on emerging markets, namely Brazil, Russia, India and Africa. Emerging markets are sweet spots for these companies because it is difficult to access developed US and European markets where dominant and established players, such as Caterpillar, emphasise their value-added after sales services. Emerging markets, on the other hand, are more price sensitive, and prices of machinery equipment from Chinese manufactures are typically 15-20% below foreign competitors, providing buyers in emerging markets with a considerable overall cost saving. Another important reason is that, like China, these countries are experiencing a similar urbanisation process and are consequently investing a lot towards infrastructure improvement, providing Chinese enterprises a potential market to tap into.

Machinery manufacturing industry is a pillar industry of national economy. Modern manufacturing is changing people's mode of production, lifestyle, business management as well as social structure and culture. As China's potentially existed large market and abundant labor resources, the world's manufacturing industry is being transferred to China.

China is becoming a world manufacturing power. With the continuous development of times and the promotion of the Internet, the development of China's machinery industry has made tremendous contributions for the world's machinery industry. For a long time, the major factors restricting the development of China's machinery industry have been the capital and technology. Now the national automotive industry policies, the national western development, national debt capital investment and other macroeconomic policies have driven the demand market for machinery products. Both private capital and foreign capital poured into the machinery industry has eased the financial difficulties of the mechanical industry. International cooperation and communication have created the conditions for the upgrade of mechanical products.

Machinery industry covers a wide scope, and there are strong correlations between each other. But the development of various sub-sectors are not consistent. In the overall machinery industry, sub-sectors which are of rapid growth include machine tool industry, engineering machinery industry, heavy machinery and specialized equipment basic parts industry. China's machinery share of the world's market continues to expand, for example, China construction machinery accounted for 15% of the global market. The global construction machinery market is of about 180 billion US dollar, and China accounted for 15% share of the total. There are plenty of rooms for China's future machinery industry development. And, China's mining machinery industry is also of important position. China's mining machinery accounted for 85% of the world's market share. Therefore, for the current situation of machinery industry in international and domestic market, the domestic machinery industry need to use modern advanced technology to take more domestic and international market shares.

Through years of research, it is found that many of the machinery industry businesses gradually began to use the Internet to promote their own products and websites. In fact, the enterprises who promote their businesses trough the use of the Internet have got the benefit three percent more than the common enterprises. But there is a gap between the many companies who use the Internet, so the benefit can not be too obvious. The professional of a business website is the basis to reflect the network marketing effect. There are large numbers of machinery enterprises, which is one of the most competitive market in the traditional business areas. For the development of online machinery business, it is necessary for the machinery enterprises to research the situation of their own website. It is of great value for the development of effective business network marketing strategies.

Therefore, the machinery enterprises could grow their own business by making full use of their own network advantage. As the integration of world economy and the accelerating of globalization, the electronic industry technology has been widely used in the international trade and the application of e-commerce is becoming a more and more popular way for our country and the enterprises to connect with the international environment. The new operating mode of the international trade will play an important role in China's trade for its expansion of international trade opportunities, rise of trade efficiency, reduction of trading costs and enhancement of the enterprises' competitiveness and adaptability.

It is because of China machinery industry in general are still in the development stage in vulgar, machinery industry unit product comprehensive energy consumption than to the high number of developed countries, but the value added of industry rate than developed countries low many. With tools industry as an example, China’s high speed steel paper cutting tool material price than the international market is cheap, cemented carbide cutting the price is less than a third of the Japanese. According to the China machinery industry federation of key enterprise of sampling survey,Wet magnetic separator in the first eight months of this year new orders increased 3.8% year-on-year, growth down significantly more than the same period last year. New orders because not much, enterprise development situation of side less confidence, especially large amount of wide of the small and medium-sized enterprise situation is difficult. According to understand, to overcome obstacles rapeseed growing seasonal, the municipal agriculture department and agricultural closely with the farm machinery, on the one hand, the plant variety improvement in exploring optimal collocation, on the other hand, the effort to find a suitable for huzhou the practical need agricultural machinery, help the farmers from heavy manual work freed, achieve a variety of charge, speeding up the process of agricultural mechanization.

In foreign demand in the short term is not optimistic. The China machinery industry federation President WangRuiXiang think, China machinery industry remains industry itself big but not strong, independent innovation ability weak, the foundation behind, low level manufacture level of repetitive construction,Limestone dryer product technical content is not high, the added value of the industrial concentration is low, the industry chain not perfect, industrial structure imbalance and excess capacity and serious long-term structural contradictions. And, developed countries based on the resource configuration optimization objective need, but also trying to solidify China as the world of the equipment manufacturing industry of high-end assembly and ZhongDiDuan processing base.

To speed up the enterprise merger and reorganization products renewal, form the host production enterprise mainly by the single machine manufacturing to system integration give priority to change, professional parts production enterprise to “specialized, refined, and unique” direction development, formed complementary advantages and coordinate the development of industry structure.

From mining machinery industry 2000 ~ 2009 fixed assets steady growth can explain, mining machinery industry return on capital is higher than the average return on assets, is worth the investment of social capital. From our country mining machinery industry market to the current situation, foreign investment have increased investment in China, the world’s largest engineering machinery manufacturer caterpillar has announced plans to the United States in China construction machinery market investment of 10 billion us dollars. Sand washing equipment, wash sand washing equipment, equipment, such as sand stone, broken stone grinding equipment. The area is being carried out rescue, construction waste cleaning should be subordinated to the rescue need, large-scale construction rubbish in the rescue operation should be done after. But according to actual condition, developing a temporary or permanent construction waste places on piled up, building rubbish shall first meet local use,Stone crusher plant again to focus on places piled up and recycle.

Therefore, 1025 period, domestic mining machinery market will enter a new stage of the upgrade. In a large market demand to the Chinese market with all of the transfer of the case, the Chinese market will join the international market leader. Data shows, the annual production value of international mining machinery in rising state, but the current domestic market share still points less, belong to the typical “reserved”. Although the domestic market development space is wide, but in the increasingly fierce competition of the international market, the domestic mining machinery is still at a disadvantage. As is known to all, China mining mining and processing of the tailings left behind is great, if the accumulation of the tailings are already up, light this resources can use 20 years. Generally with the emissions of tailings can be made into artificial sand, can solve every year 20.4 million tons of construction with sand, which solved the problem of tailings environmental pollution and resolve the problems in construction sand resources, kill two birds with one stone.

Therefore, Hongxing Mining Machinery Co., LTD develop and manufacture a series of process of the construction waste fly ash, coal gangue equipment, its including mobile crushing station.

Rising demand for such vehicles indicates rapidly increasing activity in the mining sector.

'Since early 2010, the mining sector has steadily gathered momentum and this has had a positive impact on the sales of (earth-moving equipment) as local mining conglomerates gear up to produce and deliver huge quantities of coal, chromium, iron ore and other metals,' said Colin Squair, Wesbank’s head of finance for heavy machinery.

'Another factor motivating growth is the active replacement of plant (heavy machinery), as during the economic downturn many companies operating in the commercial sector held off on replacing their ageing equipment,' Wesbank said. Mr Squair said from 2009 to last year the market for plant fell off 50% but demand had improved this year.

Digby Glover, CEO of mining contractors TWP, confirmed yesterday that there had been 'delays in the project pipeline' as a result of the financial crisis, and that now 'there’s suddenly a big catch-up'.

'Commodity prices are back to pre-2008 levels,' Mr Glover said, and the industry was scrambling to meet demand. In terms of TWP, he said the firm had 'maintained capacity in 2010 perhaps at the expense of short-term profit, but that’s paid huge dividends for us. We’ve hired 300 engineers and technicians this year alone.'

Mr Squair said that 'availability would be the major hindrance' for his division this year, as a result of the contraction of the plant sector during the financial crisis and because of the March 11 earthquake and tsunami disaster in Japan.

Antonie Fourie, Basil Read’s MD for mining, blasting and excavating, said yesterday 'tremendous growth' in mining across Africa and the world meant there was huge demand for plant and 'major delays' in supply. 'I have old plant that I need to replace, and if I want to grow I need even more.' Basil Read had spent R480m this year on plant alone, and waiting lists for plant were causing headaches. 'At the start of the year I spent R220m on plant without even having work for it.'

Strong global demand for minerals and other commodities promises to fuel demand for mining equipment for years to come. This is positive news for domestic steel suppliers, not just because of the large amount of metal used to make each giant mining truck or shovel, but because much of this equipment continues to be produced in the United States.

“Anything that has anything to do with commodities is doing well,” says Jim Hoffman, senior vice president of operations for Reliance Steel and Aluminum Co., Los Angeles.

“It appears that with commodity prices where they are, and mining demand up throughout the world—especially in emerging markets like China, India and South America—the market for mining equipment will continue to be fairly strong for some time,” says Bill Jones, chairman of O’Neal Industries Inc., Birmingham, Ala. Jones and other steel suppliers note that production of the huge earthmoving machines consumes a lot of plate, as well as shapes, tubing, beams, and carbon and alloy bars.

While some commodity prices have moderated in recent weeks, they are still high enough to warrant further investment in mining activity and equipment, says Eli Lustgarten, senior vice president of Longbow Securities, Cleveland. Globally, mining equipment is sold out for the year, he reports, with capital investments by mining companies forecast to grow 30 percent both this year and next.

Currently, all of the major equipment manufacturers are operating close to full capacity and have growing backlogs that extend out into 2012. “Right now, mining companies are profitable. As long as they continue to have capital to spend, they will buy new equipment,” Yengst says. “This is a replacement type of business. Mining trucks and shovels, much like major appliances, wear out and need to be replaced periodically. I think we will continue to see healthy backlogs into 2013.”

“Mining is a long cycle business. It takes five to 10 years to develop mines, so mining companies tend to take a very long view of the global economy,” says Sanders at Joy Global. “They aren’t concerned about quarterly fluctuations.”

All eyes are on China and India to determine how long these good times will last. “China accounts for 40 percent or more of all commodity consumption. As China goes, so goes the mining industry,” notes Popovich at NMA.

In general, equipment makers are being careful about adding too much new capacity, given the cyclical nature of the mining business, Yengst says. “They all realize there will be a time when customers either won’t need any more equipment or they won’t have the money to buy it.”

One quick way for a company to expand its product offerings is to acquire a competitor. Longbow’s Lustgarten reports that merger and acquisition activity in the mining equipment sector has picked up in the last year or two. In February 2010, Milwaukee-based Bucyrus International Inc. acquired the mining equipment unit of Terex Corp., Westport, Conn. Nine months later, in November, Caterpillar announced its intention to acquire Bucyrus in an $8.6 billion deal that has already passed muster with regulators and is expected to close later this year.

“The general consensus is that commodities pricing will remain strong and, as a result, demand for mining equipment should also remain strong,” says steelmaker John Ferriola, president and chief operating officer of Nucor Corp., Charlotte, N.C.

If the quartz content and water content are so high that hammer crusher or impact crusher cannot be used, two-phase crushing system should be adopted. In general, the double roller crusher, roll sizer, jaw crusher as well as cone crusher are suitable for the two-phase crushing system for abrasive materials. Their crushing ratios are much the same (about 15-16), but their adaptive capacity to hard or wet materials is quite different. The jaw crusher and cone crusher crush the materials by means of high pressure, and they can handle hard rocks with compressive strength up to 400Mpa. The double roller crusher and roll sizer are influenced by shear and pull force, and they are only suitable for crushing materials with compressive strength less than 175MPa. However, they can process materials with high viscosity and corrosiveness.

The selection of crushers for cement plant should take into consideration the following factors raw materials’ hardness (generally represented by the compressive strength), corrosivity (usually described with free quartz content), and viscosity (water content, and clay content). In accordance with the above information, you can make a choice.

Selection Criteria of stone Crushers:

Crusher TypeMax. Crushing RatioCompressive StrengthQuartz Content(％)moisture content(％)

Single stage hammer crusher1100＜150≤8＜10

Biaxial hammer crusher1100＜150≤8＜15~20

Impact crusher120＜175≤12＜8

Jaw crusher15＞150~400＞15＜5

Cone crusher15＞150~400＞15＜5

The requirements on limestone crushing are relatively high. After being processed, the particle sizes can reach 0~25/80mm. The crushing processes should be reduced to the greatest extent, so that the one-time investment and maintenance costs can be reduces. The hammer crusher or impact crusher with high crushing ratio can meet the requirements for single stage crushing, but the quartz content should be less than 8%-12%. In terms of the impact crusher, the water content of the materials should be less than 8%. On the part of the biaxial hammer crusher, the water content can reach up to 20%, and limestone and clay can be fed at the same time.

Mining, extraction of solid mineral resources from the earth. These resources include ores, which contain commercially valuable amounts of metals, such as iron and aluminum; precious stones, such as diamonds; building stones, such as granite; and solid fuels, such as coal and oil shale. The search for and discovery of mineral deposits is called prospecting, or exploration. When a mineral deposit is found, it is studied to determine if it can be mined profitably. If so, the deposit can be worked or extracted by a variety of mining methods.

The mining industry is one of the most dangerous working environments. Mining equipments are instruments that are commonly used in extraction of minerals from the earth surface. In the past, ancient times, miners used to excavate minerals and metals by using simple hand held tools. With the introduction of automation and modernization, today’s mining world enjoys the benefit of many types of mining equipments that are used specially for mining purposes. Modern day mining equipment is powered mainly by electricity and hydraulic energy.

Mining equipments are available for various types of mining methods that are performed around the world. There are various types of mining equipments available in the world. Some of them are industrial shredders, drilling equipment, blasting equipment, drill rigs, hammers, mine winders, blasting machine, Mining Locomotive, well drilling machine, industrial crushers, cutting machines, drills, loaders, blasting devices, Track Drill, Rock Drill, etc. Some examples of mining equipment that is used extensively in mining operations are: hard hats, clothing/gear, ventilation fans, rock dusters, tractors, earth movers, water jet pumps, cutting machines, drills, loaders, blasting devices, dozers, trucks, cranes, fork lifts, draglines and many other machineries. A mining light system is important mining equipment used for all mining processes. A mining light system increases the efficiency and the speed of mining operations and guarantees optimum results in mining process. A mining light might consist of a heat sink, LED or laser, magnetic switch or a focusing cone. Gold pans, sluice boxes, metal detectors, digging tools, gold vials, snuffer bottles, etc., are equipments used for gold mining. Various kinds of large mining excavators are available for mining field. The mining excavators using advanced technology help in reaching the international level of performance in mining processes.

There are mining equipments available specifically for Surface mining processes such as open-pit mining, strip or area mining, quarrying, contour mining, mountaintop removal, and placer mining. For example, some of the Open Cast Mining Equipments are Rock Drills, Drifter, Paving Breaker, DTH Hammer, Wagon Drill, Slim Drill LD-4, Pneumatic Crawler Drill, TCT Drill Steel Grinder, and Cross Bit Grinder. There are excellent mining equipments available for Sub-surface mining processes such as shaft mining, drift mining, borehole mining, slope mining, and hard rock mining. Similarly, there are special mining equipments for deep underground mining processes such as Longwall mining, Continuous mining, Blast mining, Shortwall mining and Retreat mining. For example, some of the underground Mining Equipments are Junior Simba, Mucking Machine, Slurry Pump, Exhaust Fan, Air Mover, Cement Injection Pump, Pneumatic Power Pack, Turbo Light, Spare parts for Atlas Copco Drifter BBC-120F, Simba Junior, BMS-46 Feed Motor, BSP 10 Pneumatic Rod Catcher, Atlas Copco Cavo 310 Loader, Pneumatic Raise Climber, Eimco Loader & Hopper.

The use of right mining equipment is very essential for increased productivity. For example, the use of large mining equipment in surface mining maximizes the recovery through the excavation of one or more coal seam deposits in the large area surface mines.

Many features, restrictions and criteria need to be considered while choosing the mining equipments for a mining process. The two most important factors for choosing any type of mining equipment are its strength and durability. Cost is also an important consideration while selecting mining equipments.

Mining is a very dangerous process. If a wrong piece of equipment or tool is used for a specific mining purpose, it might lead to disaster. Therefore it is important that everybody involved in the mining operation must know exactly how to use their mining tools properly. Each worker should be properly and thoroughly trained to use every part of mining equipment they will be using. Also the workers should be educated about the safety measures in using the mining equipments.

When individuals hear about exploration, most will think about enormous trucks and bulldozers as the primary mining equipment. While this image holds true today, tools employed for mining have come quite a distance from its roots. Historic miners probably can't think about the existence of these devices. If you're curious to discover more, here are a couple of suggestions to get you started.

Mining operations can be large and complex undertakings. In order to keep things running smoothly and safely, you need to have the mining supplies on hand to make repairs and make sure your project is completed on time. For fast service and a variety of choices, search for mining equipment for sale online from multiple mining equipment distributors.

Many mining equipment manufacturers have detailed specifications and photos of their inventory on their websites. When browsing the offerings of a mining equipment manufacturer, look for deals on refurbished or used mining equipment. Find everything from dryers and kilns to screens and centrifuges. No matter how big or small, you can find the mining tools necessary for any type of mining operation, or any stage of processing materials. Find mine equipment for:

1. Drilling and excavating

2. Screening and feeding

3. Weighing and monitoring

In order to remove the resources you're after from the ground, you need a good drill. Whether you're drilling through rock, drilling wells, or searching for oil and gas, you need to be able to cut through the earth quickly and get what you need. Find an online supplier of excavation equipment for your specific mining task. In mines, conventional radios often won't work. In order maintain direct lines of contact, you need to install an underground communications network. Find a mining equipment manufacturer that helps design and install the perfect network for your mine.

At this time, gear utilized for excavation and extraction evolved. Some grew to become far more complex. As an example, trucks employed for exploration are now much more refined. Several trucks being utilized at present have electronic machines employed for dumping cargo and driving close to the mines. These motor vehicles might also be furnished with sophisticated suspension systems for greater driving performance.

Since the world continues to excavate for oil along with other valuable minerals, mining equipment is here to remain. In the future, this gear may have far more refined capabilities to make work simpler for all.

According to the China Construction Machinery Business survey, 26 of the main manufacturers of excavators in China sold 8868 units in September, 23.86% down. Excavator cumulative increase since February of this year climbed to the highest point, it has been declining for several months. China Construction Machinery Industry Association has predicted the next five years, the construction machinery industry is expected to be 17% annual growth. But now the growth target is being challenged. Growth in the second quarter of this year began the rapid decline in construction machinery industry had still not out of the signs down, the industry growth is still in the 'bottom.' Affected after construction machinery enterprises are expanding production capacity is becoming excess capacity.

Excavator sales decline in a row is typical of China's construction machinery industry reflected. According to industry experts say, since the second quarter this year, sales of construction machinery industry continued to decline, this phenomenon has not been checked in the third quarter. Zoomlion Chairman Zhan Chun new that the growth rate of decline in construction machinery industry, there have been signs of late last year, the first quarter of this year, industry unexpectedly explosive growth has actually overdrawn market demand, sales of construction machinery starting from the second quarter, a marked decline in . Railway construction slowdown, real estate is the construction machinery industry sales for the decline. Data show that the Ministry of Railways to complete the first nine months of capital construction investment 346.879 billion yuan, down 19.3%. National Railway in the third quarter ended investment for years the Great Leap Forward.

Data also shows that the first three quarters this year, China's fixed asset investment up 24.9% nominal growth (after deducting price factors, the actual increase of 16.9%), down 0.7 percentage points over the first half, shrinking demand for construction machinery industry downstream. Industry sales is to continue to decline or rebound in the fourth quarter? At the recent 2011 Global Construction Machinery Industry 50 Conference and Summit, insiders believe that the fourth quarter of this year may have tail phenomenon. However, many industry experts believe that the macroeconomic policies remain unchanged, the construction machinery industry will be difficult to return to the past growth rate. Institute of Finance, the State Council Development Research Center, Xia Bin, director on the warning, do not use the past to simulate the growth rate is derived future growth, construction machinery industry is facing the future development of more uncertainty.

In the industry under the background of slowing demand, the domestic construction machinery industry excess capacity problem increasingly prominent. And 'excess capacity' has become the focus of engineering machinery industry conference topics. ZhanChunXin the truth, construction machinery industry excess capacity are triggering industry malignant competition. Xugong group President and general manager of the rabbit liugong zeng pins identity construction machinery has appeared excess capacity. However, they think, industry excess capacity is the low end products of the excess, in high-end products field still have space. Four trillion yuan investment by pulling, engineering machinery industry become fast development, the related businesses expand the capacity to increase investment. A shares the main engineering machinery listed companies have or are almost through shares expand the capacity of financing. International experts will China enterprise overcapacity called it 'assembly excess capacity'. In order to deal with excess capacity bring industry competition, some large engineering machinery enterprise is calling on industry management department to make the industry standard, to regulate the market competition.

The construction sector is in an interesting phase of its evolution, not quite yet global in nature, but with some players active in more than one national market and the largest players becoming involved in multiple projects in Europe, North America, and Asia, particularly China. The sector includes companies from the smallest to the largest. At the bottom of the scale are small house-builders, followed at the mid-range by regional and national companies capable of handling multiple projects within one country, to larger players with specialist interests, for example, in shopping mall construction, or office blocks, operating in multiple countries. The industry has a clear overlap with civil engineering on infrastructure projects, particularly where groundworks and ground preparation for site construction are concerned.

The building materials sector is extremely diverse and constitutes a sizeable chunk of the industrial base of developed countries. It includes a highly diverse range of suppliers, from cement manufacturers (an area that is under tremendous pressure to both innovate and to “green up”), to specialty glass and steel manufacturers, as well as providing a large market to white goods manufacturers, furniture manufacturers, paint and wiring manufacturers, and a host of other related industries. According to some specialists, buliding material industry made great progress which brings new demand for mining machinery industry.

China's social scene of terrible 'class compaction' phenomenon. To put it bluntly, that is, a poor kid in today's society, through their own hard work, the success of the rich squeezed into the ranks of fewer and fewer opportunities than before. Only two categories of people in society: the poor and the rich. M based society, the impact on the real estate market is faced with the poor, the rich small family and face the 'luxury' will be hot. Of home building materials industry of the enterprises, located at two ends: the low end and high end brands and enterprises will live more moisture. Without an awkward position of 'the end' corporate and brand will live the worst, there might even be closed collapse.

Home and buildings designers and planners have to think about both materials and the building regulations that are likely to appear in a world dominated by calls for action to cut carbon emissions. Current building requirements are likely to be amended further, almost year on year, to minimize the impact of the built environment on the planet, which means cutting emissions and energy usage. We are at the dawn of “smart” buildings, which react both to energy usage and to the needs of occupants, but many leading architects and designers are already thinking about zero-emissions buildings, or massively taller buildings, or buildings that are themselves virtual “cities”—all concepts that will provide a fertile ground for innovation in building materials.

For further development, we must grasp the challenge to make innovation, do research and step into the road of Green Industry.
