Kenya Fixed Stone Crusher Plant for Granite Processing

NAIROBI, KENYA-2021-METRO Machinery, a global leader in crushing and screening solutions, has successfully delivered a fixed stone crusher plant to a Kenyan customer based in Nairobi for processing high-quality granite aggregates.

The stationary plant is engineered to produce a consistent 20 tons per hour (tph) output, catering to the growing demand for construction materials in Kenya's rapidly expanding infrastructure and real estate sectors.

Plant Configuration Overview:

• Vibrating Feeder:Grizzly-type for controlled material feed and removal of fines
• Primary Jaw Crusher:PE250*400-rugged and reliable for hard granite crushing
• Vibrating Screen:Multi-deck screening unit for accurate product sizing
• Belt Conveyors:Integrated material handling system for seamless transfer
• Power Supply:100 kW heavy-duty generator-fully self-sufficient operation

Finished Product Gradation:

• 0-5 mm:Fine aggregate for plastering, tile grout, and block making
• 5-10 mm:Small-grade chippings for light concrete and asphalt
• 10-20 mm:Medium aggregate for structural concrete and road base
• 20-30 mm:Coarse stone for heavy foundations, drainage, and railway ballast

Engineered for the Toughest Materials

Granite is one of the hardest natural stones, presenting significant challenges in crushing due to its high silica content and abrasiveness. The PE250×400 jaw crusher, with its robust steel construction, deep crushing cavity, and high manganese jaw plates, is purpose-built to handle this demanding material while maintaining steady throughput and minimal wear.

The fixed plant configuration offers distinct advantages for Nairobi-based operations:

• Stable Foundation-Permanent installation ensures long-term reliability and consistent production.
• Low Operating Costs-Stationary design reduces mobility-related maintenance and allows for optimized power consumption.
• Integrated Power Solution-The 100 kW generator provides reliable, independent power, overcoming grid instability issues common in remote or developing regions.

"We are seeing strong demand in East Africa for durable, high-capacity crushing solutions," said Mark, Sales at METRO Machinery. "This fixed plant in Nairobi is a perfect example of our commitment to providing equipment that stands up to the region's toughest materials while remaining cost-effective to operate and maintain."

Key Advantages of METRO's Fixed Plant Solution:

• Heavy-Duty Construction-Built with wear-resistant components to withstand prolonged exposure to abrasive granite.
• Precision Screening-Multi-deck vibrating screen delivers four accurately sized products in a single pass.
• Seamless Material Flow-Belt conveyors minimize manual handling and ensure smooth transfer between stages.
• Reliable Power Supply-100 kW generator with fuel-efficient operation ensures uninterrupted production.
• Easy Maintenance-Designed with accessible service points for quick wear-part replacement and reduced downtime.
• Scalable Design-Modular layout allows for future expansion as production demands grow.

Supporting Kenya's Construction Boom

With infrastructure development accelerating across Kenya-from new highways and commercial buildings to residential projects-the demand for premium granite aggregates continues to rise. METRO Machinery's fixed plant solution positions its Nairobi customer to meet this demand with consistent quality and reliable supply.

The plant is currently under assembly at the customer's site, with commissioning and operator training to be conducted by METRO Machinery's regional technical team.

Strengthening METRO's Presence in East Africa

This project reinforces METRO Machinery's growing footprint across the African continent, following successful installations in Nigeria, Ghana, Tanzania, and now Kenya. The company continues to expand its network of local representatives and after-sales support to ensure customers receive timely technical assistance and spare parts availability.
