A crushed stone prodCrushed stone is a material obtained by breaking and screening rocks in quarries. It consists of small, angular or rounded stone fragments that are classified into specific sizes. Crushed stone is widely used in construction, roadworks, and concrete production. It can be produced naturally or artificially and is categorized based on size.

uction facility is an industrial plant where large rocks are broken down into smaller pieces with specific characteristics. These facilities perform crushing, screening, washing, and transportation processes to produce crushed stone, which is a fundamental material in construction and infrastructure projects.

How Does a Crushed Stone Production Facility Work?

The working process of a crushed stone production facility consists of the following stages:

  1. Raw Material Procurement: Large rock blocks are extracted from quarries and transported to the production plant.

  2. Crushing: The rock blocks are broken into smaller pieces using primary and secondary crushers.

  3. Screening: The crushed material is passed through screens to be classified into specific sizes.

  4. Washing (Optional): Some applications require washing to remove dust.

  5. Storage and Transportation: The final product is stored and delivered to usage areas via transport vehicles.

Where is Crushed Stone Used?

Crushed stone is used in a wide range of applications:

  • Concrete and asphalt production: Used in road and building construction.

  • Railroad ballast: Provides stability for railway tracks.

  • Landscaping and gardening: Used decoratively.

  • Water surface drainage: Accelerates water drainage.
