A crushing and screening plant is an industrial facility used to process large rocks extracted from quarries or mining sites into smaller, usable materials for construction, infrastructure, and industrial applications. These plants crush, grind, screen, and classify materials to produce aggregates with specific granulation properties.

Working Principle of a Crushing and Screening Plant:

  1. Raw Material Feeding: Large rocks are loaded into the feeding hopper using trucks or excavators.
  2. Primary Crushing Stage: Jaw crushers are typically used to break down large rocks into smaller pieces.
  3. Secondary Crushing Stage: Cone or impact crushers further reduce material size.
  4. Screening and Classification: Vibrating screens separate the crushed material into different sizes.
  5. Storage and Transportation: The final product is stockpiled and transported to the desired locations.

Applications of Crushing and Screening Plants:

  • Construction industry: Aggregate production for concrete and asphalt.
  • Road building: Production of base and sub-base materials.
  • Mining sector: Processing of valuable minerals.
  • Recycling: Reprocessing of construction debris.

Crushing and screening plants can be classified into stationary, mobile, and semi-mobile types based on production capacity and project needs. Stationary plants are ideal for large-scale, long-term operations, while mobile plants offer flexibility and portability for different job sites.
