MANUFACTURING PROCESS


It is advantageous if the crushed stone unit is set up near the queries where the granite boulders of various sizes are available for the crushing unit. The wastage from the granite industry will be of much use to the crushed stone unit. The granite stones of various sizes are fed into the jaw crushers for size reduction. Depending on the desired output size of the crushed stone, the raw materials may be fed to one or two jaw crushers in a sequence. Then these crushed stones are passed on to the rotary screen for size gradation. Material is handled through a belt conveyor to the different places of operation. The main machinery involved in the stone crushing industry is Hammer Crusher, Screen, Conveyors etc. The process involved is to feed the stone in to the Hammer Crushers to make it further smaller in size as required by the customer. In the hammer crusher, the stone is crushed. The crushed stone is screened to separate the produce in different sizes by the separator. The crushed stone is conveyed by the conveyors to trucks for transport to the market place or storage area.
