The process of rock crushing is very common at construction and mining sites. It involves breaking of rocks into small fine pieces. The process of rock crushing involves several major pieces of equipment.
Rocks are crushed in quarries as well as on construction sites. They are completely crushed and are recycled after demolition. Dug up rocks on jobsites, which may otherwise be considered as waste product, can be converted into profit by crushing and recycling. These crushed rocks can later be used in various things such as in construction of roads, for erosion control, bed piping for underground utilities, for filling material in building foundations, in asphalt foundations under pavers and in landscaping.
Most of the people do not realize that crushed rock is used as a foundation under asphalt in all roads and highways, under concrete slabs and is an integral part of any type of construction. Many excavation companies that dig rocks also have a portable rock crusher to process the dug up rocks on the jobsite. Such excavated rocks on a jobsite should never be discarded as they can always be turned into a useful product.
Crushing rock on the jobsite can help in saving money in two ways. On jobsites, crushed rocks are always in demand. If the rock is crushed onsite, then there is no requirement of purchasing crushed rock from a quarry or to bear the expense of hauling rock onto the jobsite for asphalt as well as for concrete. If the product is used onsite, there is no requirement to haul off the excess. In fact it is also environment friendly to use onsite products.
There are several machines available that are used for crushing rocks. Some types of rock crushers can be roller crushers, cone crushers, jaw crushers and impact crushers. Mostly, the raw material is inserted into these machines with the help of a hopper on top. The crushed material then comes out from an opening which is there at the bottom of the machine.
There are several new varieties of rock crushing equipment available in the market that are used for crushing jobs on- site. They have proved very helpful and useful to the contractors as well. They also have wide range of compression strengths and higher efficiency.
These rock crushers are the most preferable choice these days as they have made the work faster as well as simpler. On top of it they have replaced manual labor. The usage of portable rock crushers on jobsites is not only time but also cost effective. That is why contractors make use of these equipments in their work.
