This project case details a 350 TPH Copper-Gold Ore Crushing Plant in Peru engineered by Sunwe Crusher to withstand high-altitude mining environments. It demonstrates how our custom heavy-duty jaw crusher and hydraulic cone crusher successfully process abrasive porphyry ore, delivering a uniform feed size that maximizes mineral liberation and boosts downstream grinding efficiency.Core Equipment: SUNWE PE900x1200 Heavy-Duty Jaw Crusher, SUNWE SC315S Hydraulic Cone CrusherClient Location: Andes Mountains, PeruRaw Material: Hard and Abrasive Copper-Gold Porphyry OrePlant Capacity: 350 TPH (Tons Per Hour)Output Sizes: 0-12mm, 12-25mm, 25-40mm
Key Equipment
The Challenge: What the Client Needed
A major mining enterprise in Peru operated a high-altitude copper-gold site. The dense porphyry ore featured extreme hardness and high abrasiveness. Standard crushing machines failed frequently under these severe thin-air conditions.Frequent mechanical breakdowns delayed downstream grinding mill production. The client suffered heavy profit losses from unexpected maintenance downtime. They required a heavy-duty, reliable crushing line. The new plant had to maintain a stable 350 TPH output at high altitudes.The Solution: Sunwe Custom Crushing Line
Sunwe engineers analyzed the ore density and high-altitude climate. We designed a custom multi-stage heavy-duty crushing plant.Step 1: Primary Crushing
The heavy-duty PE900x1200 Jaw Crusher processes raw copper-gold ore easily.It features an extra-deep crushing cavity for maximum capacity.We installed a custom heating system for the lubrication oil in freezing weather.Step 2: Secondary Crushing
The SC315S Hydraulic Cone Crusher handles the hard material efficiently.We equipped the crusher with premium manganese wear parts to resist abrasive ore.Special high-altitude electrical components ensure stable power delivery.Step 3: Screening & Sizing
Heavy-duty vibrating screens separate the crushed minerals into precise sizes.The system delivers uniform feed size directly to the downstream grinding mills.Performance Comparison
The table below displays the plant performance before and after installing Sunwe equipment.| Key Performance Indicator (KPI) | Old Plant System | Sunwe Crushing System | Net Improvement |
| Hourly Output (TPH) | 240 t/h | 350 t/h | +45.8% Higher Production |
| Manganese Liner Lifespan | 2 Months | 5 Months | 150% Longer Lifetime |
| Monthly Maintenance Downtime | 48 Hours | 12 Hours | 75% Less Downtime |
| Mineral Liberation Rate | 78% | 92% | +14% Grinding Efficiency |
The Results and Client Value
The Sunwe crushing plant has operated successfully for 14 months in Peru.It continuously delivers a stable 350 TPH yield.The uniform output size significantly reduces the workload of downstream grinding mills.This optimization increases the overall mineral extraction efficiency.The rugged Sunwe configuration effectively protects the client from high-altitude operational risks.“Sunwe customized solution saved our copper-gold mining project.The heavy-duty jaw crusher breaks our hardest rocks effortlessly at 4,000 meters altitude.Our production cost per ton dropped significantly this year.”— Mr. Carlos Mendoza, Project Operations Director
