Recently, multiple ALLIS SAGA MHC600 multi-cylinder hydraulic cone crushers passed quality inspection and commissioning, and departed for the spodumene crushing and processing site of Sinomine Resource’s lithium mine project in Zimbabwe, providing core crushing equipment for its lithium development in Africa.

 # Project Overview

Sinomine Resource Group Co., Ltd. stands as the undisputed global leader in the cesium-rubidium sector. It owns two major pollucite mines and operates a fully integrated industrial chain. The company controls over 95% of the global rubidium salt market and holds a monopoly in the high-end deep-sea oil service market for cesium formate, giving it significant pricing power across the industry.

Alongside its cesium-rubidium business, the Group has secured overseas spodumene mineral resources and built proprietary lithium salt production lines, establishing a strong position in the new energy lithium raw material segment. As one of China’s earliest enterprises to launch large-scale overseas solid mineral exploration operations, it has built a core business portfolio spanning rare metals, lithium battery raw materials, and international geological exploration.

# Proven Global Mining Market Expertise
 

Since its market launch, the ALLIS SAGA MHC series multi-cylinder hydraulic cone crusher has been widely adopted by leading domestic enterprises including Zoomlion, Taiyuan Iron & Steel, Baowu Steel, and Sinomine Resource, as well as top-tier overseas mining groups such as major Russian steel conglomerates, thanks to its exceptional operational stability and versatile adaptability.

The unit is well-suited to crushing a wide range of materials, including iron ore, rare metal ores, basalt, and granite. ALLIS SAGA has accumulated extensive project execution experience across medium-to-large metal mines and aggregate production facilities worldwide.

# Proven Application Track Record in Large-Scale Metal Mine Projects

▋ Ekou Iron Ore Mine Project of Taiyuan Iron & Steel Group

In 2022, the existing crushing equipment at Taiyuan Iron & Steel’s Ekou Iron Ore Mine had severely aged and was plagued by frequent breakdowns, creating an urgent need for a new secondary crushing unit. With superior performance and outstanding reliability, the ALLIS SAGA MHC600 stood out among numerous domestic and international competitors and won the bid.

After replacing the old imported crushers with ALLIS SAGA MHC600 units, the mine has operated consistently and reliably to this day. The equipment fully meets all technical requirements in terms of throughput, product yield, operational stability, and automation, performing on par with premium imported alternatives.

This MHC600 unit was the first multi-cylinder hydraulic cone crusher supplied by ALLIS SAGA to a major domestic steel conglomerate. It broke the monopoly previously held by foreign manufacturers over high-end, large-scale mining equipment, while offering premium clients at home and abroad more diverse and flexible multi-cylinder cone crushing solutions.

▋ Dahongshan Project of Baowu Group

Impressed by the performance and after-sales service of ALLIS SAGA equipment deployed at Taiyuan Iron & Steel’s mine site, Baowu Group once again chose MHC600 multi-cylinder hydraulic cone crushers for its Dahongshan Project in 2023.

Operating under demanding conditions crushing complex, high-hardness lava rock with an annual throughput of 3 million tonnes, the MHC600 units deliver stable and efficient operation. They sustain consistently high output across the entire crushing and grinding circuit, fully meeting the rigorous continuous-operation demands of large open-pit mines and metal mineral processing plants.

▋ Extreme Cold Mining Project of a Russian Steel Conglomerate

ALLIS SAGA MHC series crushers are widely deployed in major domestic projects and deliver outstanding performance overseas as well.

For the EP project of a leading Russian steel conglomerate, fully engineered and supplied by ALLIS SAGA, the MHC600 features an optimized cold-resistant design. It reliably withstands the harsh frigid and permafrost conditions prevailing at Russian mining sites. The units maintain stable, high-efficiency operation in extreme cold, with all process parameters meeting design benchmarks and throughput exceeding projections by a notable margin.

 # MHC600 · Core Advantages 

▋MHC Series Multi-cylinder Hydraulic Cone Crusher

The MHC Series Multi-Cylinder Hydraulic Cone Crusher is a new high-performance model innovatively engineered by ALLIS SAGA with cutting-edge technologies.

• Primarily deployed for secondary and tertiary crushing of hard ores and rocks in metal mines, aggregate production, industrial slag treatment, and other sectors;
• Compatible with secondary and tertiary crushing of diverse ores and rocks, including iron ore, non-ferrous metal ore, granite, limestone, quartzite, sandstone, and cobblestone.

▋ MHC · Performance Features 

The crushing cavity can be switched between standard and short-head configurations by replacing the mantle, concave liner, adapter ring, and fixing bolts.

Hydraulic cylinders arranged around the machine frame effectively reduce overall unit height and lower workshop height requirements at equivalent throughput.

Circumferentially mounted hydraulic cylinders and accumulators enable rapid tramp iron relief, eliminating jamming and unplanned downtime from metal contaminants.

All maintenance can be performed through top disassembly. A hydraulic motor fully rotates the adjustment ring and concave assembly for easy liner replacement.

Driven by the hydraulic motor, the concave assembly rotates to provide fast, precise closed-side setting adjustment for consistent product sizing, while also assisting rapid tramp iron discharge.

High-performance non-contact labyrinth seals operate with zero mutual wear, effectively blocking dust to protect precision internal parts, extend lubricant service intervals, and reduce oil replacement frequency.

Equipped with the MCIS multi-cylinder intelligent control system, the unit adjusts operating parameters in real time based on ore hardness and feed size to deliver precision crushing and maintain optimal performance. Its operating efficiency is markedly higher than that of conventional crushers.

▋ MHC · Technical Specifications 

*The throughput figures specified in the table are measured for materials with an average loose bulk density of 1.6 t/m³.

With stable, reliable performance and adaptability to diverse conditions, ALLIS SAGA multi-cylinder hydraulic cone crushers, represented by the MHC600, have become the preferred secondary and tertiary crushing equipment for large-scale metal mine projects at home and abroad.
