Affected by the “environmental protection” storm, the price of aggregate has risen across China, and even the supply in many areas has even fallen short of demand. Some enterprises or individuals have seen the business opportunities and have chosen to invest in an aggregate production plant. Zhongyu Dingli, as a professional manufacturer of mining equipment, also predicted the potential of aggregate industry with hot sales of related production equipment. The difference is that the economic development is unbalanced among various regions and the market potential may be not the same.

After the sources of raw materials and production sites are determined, to purchase the equipment is the most important investment for an aggregate plant. At this time, the investor will be concerned about the problems such as “what equipment or machines are required for aggregate production”, “how to select right type” and “how to make an economic and reasonable solution” etc. In the following, we will mainly explain these issues.

Firstly, we need to know clearly about how an aggregate production line works, namely its working process:

Large stones are evenly sent by the feeding equipment to the primary crusher for coarse crushing; the crushed rocks are then sent to the fine crusher for further crushing; after that, the materials will be processed by the vibrating screen for gradation. Those with required size will be conveyed by the conveyor to finished materials stockpile while the materials with unqualified size will be returned to the fine crusher for repeated processing. Such processes will form multiple closed loops until all the feeding materials are well processed.

To sum up, the machines or equipment required for an aggregate production plant includes: feeding equipment, primary crusher, fine (secondary or tertiary) crusher, vibrating screen and belt conveyor. In order to protect the environment, auxiliary dust removal equipment such as bag dust collector is also required. The mentioned equipment, especially the crusher, is suitable for different materials. Therefore, it is necessary to inform the supplier of the raw materials quality or let the technicians carry out a test before the right types and models are determined.

The above-mentioned process and machines configured are suitable for most aggregate production plants. If the customer's raw materials are special, pre-treatment like removing soil or iron will also be needed. It is always advisable to consult the professionals and make adjustments according to actual conditions. Our company specializes in offering solutions for 50-3000tph aggregate plants and manufactures the whole set of machines for aggregate production line.
