The aggregates industry, more commonly known as the crushed stone and gravel industries, is an important regional economic engine in China, especially in the mountainous area with rich rock resources. Such an industry provides a variety of essential raw materials to other industries and offers lots of job opportunities for local workers, both directly and indirectly. The aggregates industry is important consumer of heavy machinery, such as crushing & screening equipment, as well as critical supplier of the construction and manufacturing industries.

Production Process

Gravel and crushed rock are quarried out of rocky areas. Based on the land nature, certain quarries are more suited to gravel, while others are more suited to sand or to rock. Generally, gravel and sand are best quarried from shallower areas than rock. Large machinery is used to shovel gravel and load it onto conveyor belts, which use screens to sort the sand, gravel and rock according to size and remove unwanted material, such as clay.

Gravel Distribution

Often, quarries open up near an area of new road or building construction to take advantage of the new customers and provide a relatively short distance to reach their end location.

Major Inputs

One of the most significant inputs used by a gravel industry is equipment investment, which shall be purchased at a considerable cost. There's a great deal of machinery used to crush & screen the raw materials and clean & transports the final products. Gravel producers are important customers for the producers of such heavy machinery. Additionally, the manpower is another indispensable input. Finally, lubricating products are used heavily in the gravel industry.

Major Consumers

Major consumers of gravel products include builders of residential buildings, highways and streets, and commercial and government buildings. Gravel is extremely important as a foundation material for all of these industries. The cost of shipping gravel helps promote the use of local material, as foreign gravel must be shipped long distances.
