An aggregate crushing and screening plant is a facility that processes large rocks and stones into smaller-sized aggregates, which are widely used in construction, road building, and concrete production. These plants crush and screen rocks of different hardness to make them suitable for use.
Main Components:
- Feeder: Regularly feeds raw materials into the system.
- Crushers (Jaw, Cone, Impact, etc.): Break large rocks into desired sizes.
- Screening Unit: Sorts crushed materials into different sizes.
- Conveyor Belts: Transport and organize the materials.
- Storage Areas: Sections where processed aggregates are classified and stored.
- Dust Suppression System: Reduces dust formation to protect the environment.
Working Principle:
- Large rocks are directed into the crusher via the feeder.
- The crusher breaks the rocks into smaller pieces.
- The crushed material moves to the screening system.
- The screening unit classifies the material into different sizes.
- The final aggregates are stored and prepared for transportation.
Aggregate crushing and screening plants are essential in industries like mining, infrastructure projects, concrete production, and asphalt manufacturing.
