Aggregate Processing Plant & Equipment

Aggregates are the raw materials for construction and building. In construction industry, aggregate can be divided into two coarse type and fine type. Coarse aggregates are particles greater than 0.19 inch, but generally range between 3/8 and 1.5 inch in diameter. Gravels constitute the majority of coarse aggregate used in concrete. Fine aggregates generally are consist of natural sand or crushed stones with most particles passing through a 3/8 inch of vibrating screen machines.

The operation of aggregate crushing is the processes of dealing and processing of nonmetallic mineral materials for construction industry. Nonmetallic mineral material will be first mined and conveyed to the processing plant for further classification, or further size reduction by aggregate crushing process. In the crushing plants, how to choose and use suitable aggregate processing equipments is very important. They produce fine and even particle size for next processing stages. Aggregate crushers in the process include portable crusher, jaw crusher, impact crusher, cone crusher, roller crusher and so on.
