Aggregate and Sand Processing Operation

Production of sand and gravel consists of washing and scrubbing to get rid of clay, separation of the sand fraction by screening, grading of the gravel, sand classification and dewatering, and crushing of any oversize gravel to manufacture a saleable product. Washing removes silt and clay, which is existing either as surface coatings or as clay-bound agglomerates that need to be broken down.

The silt and clay content of a sand and gravel deposit is a vital parameter in determining its economic viability; the silt content should be lower than 25% and the clay should be much lower as it is harder to remove. Some gravels containing clay may be sold "as dug" for constructional fill.

Aggregate Production Plant Design Layout

Crushing is the crucial stage in aggregate production plant. According to final products application, aggregate crushing process mainly accomplished in the following stages.

Aggregate Production Plant Design
Crushing Stage	Crushing plant Involved	Maximum feed size (mm)	Maximum final particle size (mm)
Primary	Jaw crusher Gyratory crusher	700-1000	100-300
Secondary	Cone crusher HSI crusher Jaw crusher (rarely)	100-250	20-100
Tertiary	Cone crusher VSI crusher	14-100	10-50
Quaternary	VSI crusher Cone crusher	10-40	10-20
