A river stone crushing and screening plant is an industrial facility used to break and classify river stones extracted from riverbeds or quarries into specific sizes. These plants are essential in industries such as construction, concrete production, road building, and landscaping. River stone crushing and screening plants for sale can be newly manufactured or second-hand, depending on business needs.

Working Principle of a River Stone Crushing and Screening Plant

River stone crushing and screening plants function by processing stones into suitable sizes for various industries. The working process consists of the following steps:

  1. Feeding Unit:

    • Transfers large river stones into the crusher in a controlled manner.
    • Vibrating feeders ensure an even distribution of stones.

  2. Crushing Unit:

    • River stones are broken down into desired sizes using jaw crushers, cone crushers, or impact crushers.
    • Jaw crushers are commonly used for primary crushing of large stones.
    • Cone or impact crushers are preferred for finer crushing.

  3. Screening Unit:

    • Vibrating screens separate crushed stones based on their sizes.
    • Different fractions, such as 0-5 mm, 5-12 mm, and 12-25 mm, are created for various industrial applications.

  4. Conveyor Belts:

    • Transport crushed and screened stones between different units.
    • Ensure processed material reaches the storage area.

  5. Washing Unit (Optional):

    • Removes dirt, clay, and other impurities from river stones.
    • Helps provide clean material, especially for concrete and asphalt production.

Usage Areas of a River Stone Crushing and Screening Plant

  • Construction industry: Used as concrete aggregate and fill material.
  • Road construction: Used as base material for asphalt mixtures and road foundations.
  • Landscaping and decoration: Decorative stones for gardens, walkways, and ornamental ponds.
  • Concrete production: River stones are an essential aggregate for high-quality concrete production.
