A crushing and screening plant is an industrial system used to break down large materials such as rock, ore, concrete, and asphalt into smaller sizes and sort them according to specific particle dimensions. These plants are essential in industries like construction, mining, recycling, and infrastructure development.
What Does It Do?
-
Reduces large material into smaller, manageable sizes.
-
Separates material based on size specifications.
-
Produces aggregates (gravel, sand, crushed stone) for construction.
-
Recycles materials from demolished structures for reuse.
How Does It Work?
-
Feeding Unit: Raw material is loaded into the plant using loaders or trucks.
-
Crushers: Primary crushing occurs with a jaw crusher, followed by secondary or tertiary crushing with impact or cone crushers.
-
Screening Unit: Vibrating screens separate materials into different sizes.
-
Conveyor Belts: Transport the material between crushers and screens.
-
Washing Unit (optional): Removes dust or unwanted particles, especially for sand production.
-
Stockpiling: Final products are stored according to their size fractions.
Areas of Use:
-
Road, bridge, dam, and building construction
-
Supplying raw materials to concrete batching plants
-
Quarrying and mining operations
-
Recycling of construction and demolition waste
-
Airport and seaport infrastructure
