The four main stages in quarrying are preparation by removal of overburden, extraction, processing and finally restoration or reuse.

The requirement for new equipment first became evident in the quarry's primary crushing section. The plant's 30-year-old primary jaw crusher was struggling to keep up with production demands. The machine's reliability and downtime were affecting overall plant performance. Maintenance costs had risen sharply and the

Mar 17, 2017 Otherwise, it is sound practice to consider them as a part of the problem of crusher selection. The primary crushing setup is closely linked to the quarrying or mining operation, and it is only by careful adjustment of all equipment selections to the general plan of operation that optimum operating results may

Aug 5, 2015 In the quarry, crushing is handled in four potential stages: primary, secondary, tertiary and quaternary. The reduction of aggregates is spread over these stages to better control the product size and quality, while minimizing waste. The primary stage was once viewed merely as a means to further reduce

The average quarry does not produce as much of this undersize rock as the average mine, but the usual practice in mining operations is to scalp off most of the undersize ahead of the primary crusher, whereas this practice is the exception rather than the rule in quarry operations.

A conventional quarry process may consist of at least three crushing stages, a minimum installation beginning with a primary (jaw) crusher to reduce all the material to less than 150-200mm. A secondary (cone) crusher is used to crush this down to around 40mm, and finally a tertiary (VSI) crusher can shape and grade the

A feeder device such as an apron feeder, conveyor or vibrating grid controls the rate at which this material enters the crusher, and often contains a preliminary screening device which allows smaller material to bypass the crusher itself, thus improving efficiency.

The 0-900 mm fraction from the quarry face is first separated in a feeder, classifying the 0-40 mm fraction (called sterile) onto the soil before primary crushing.
