Essential equipment for sand and gravel aggregate industry

The sand and gravel aggregate industry requires the use of a variety of equipment for mining, processing, production and transportation. The following are some common equipment suitable for the sand and gravel aggregate industry, as well as their functions and roles:

  Mining Industry

  ● Excavators: Mainly used to mine raw ore or ore on the surface or
underground and dig it out for subsequent processing or transportation.

  ● Loaders: Used to load the excavated raw ore or ore onto transport
vehicles or conveyor belts for transportation or processing.

  ● Down-the-hole drilling (DTH): Drilling rigs use hammers and drill bits to
penetrate the ground. This is essential for tasks such as blast hole drilling
and exploration drilling in mining.


  Solution

  ● Crusher: crush large pieces of raw ore into smaller particles through
crushing, impact, etc. for subsequent screening and processing.

  ● Screening machine: screen and sort the crushed materials according to
particle size to obtain products and by-products that meet the requirements.

Application fields of sand and gravel aggregate

具体准备

Concrete Preparation

In concrete, sand and gravel aggregates make up the majority of the volume and are used to provide strength and structural stability to the concrete. Both fine aggregates (such as sand) and coarse aggregates (such as gravel) are essential ingredients in concrete production.

道路建设

Road Construction

Sand and gravel aggregates are used as paving materials in road construction, both in the base and surface layers of roads. They are able to withstand the heavy pressure and wear from vehicle traffic.

建筑施工

Construction

In the construction sector, sand and gravel aggregates are used to make building materials such as blocks, precast elements, bricks, and as part of the foundations, walls, and roofs of buildings.

基础建设

Infrastructure

For example, bridge construction and tunnel construction also require a large amount of sand and gravel aggregate as building materials.

铁路工程

Railway Engineering

Sand and gravel aggregates are often used as pads under rails, which helps to distribute the loads borne by the rails while providing stable support.

水利工程

Water Conservancy Projects

In the construction of dams, levees, ports and harbors, sand and gravel aggregates are used as an important component of concrete or for filling to improve the stability and durability of the structure.

园林绿化

Landscaping

Selected sand and gravel aggregates are widely used in outdoor landscaping due to their natural color and texture, such as the decoration of sidewalks, courtyards, and flower beds.

环保项目

Environmental Projects

Gravel aggregate is also used in certain environmental projects, such as filter material in rainwater collection and filtration systems to help remove pollutants.

装饰用途

Decorative Uses

Specific types of aggregate, such as colored gravel, can be used for interior and exterior decoration to provide beautiful visual effects.

Raw materials for producing sand and gravel aggregates

  • 花岗岩

    Granite

    It has high hardness and wear resistance and is a high-quality raw material for building aggregates.

  • 石灰石

    Limestone

    It is the preferred material for cement manufacturing and production of fine aggregate in some areas.

  • 玄武岩

    Basalt

    Has good wear resistance and compression resistance, suitable for use as aggregate for pavement and construction.

  • 河卵石

    River pebbles

    After being processed by a crusher, they can be used as high-quality concrete aggregate.

  • 页岩

    Shale

    Certain types of shale can be crushed and screened for use in certain types of construction projects.

  • 石英砂

    Quartz sand

    Medium-hard sandstone can be used as building aggregate.
