A rock crushing and screening plant is a facility used to transform large rocks into smaller stones, gravel, or rock dust. These plants are crucial in mining, construction, and civil engineering industries. They produce materials of various sizes, suitable for different projects.

Operation :

  1. Crushing : Rocks are first fed into a primary crusher (such as a jaw crusher) to reduce their size. They may then pass through secondary or tertiary crushers to achieve finer aggregates.

  2. Screening : After crushing, the materials are sent to screens (vibrating sieves) to sort them by size. Oversized particles are returned to the crusher, while others are classified according to their intended use.

  3. Storage : The finished materials are stored in silos or designated areas awaiting transportation.

Applications :

  • Production of aggregates for concrete.

  • Manufacturing of fill materials.

  • Preparation of rocks for roads and railways.
