Default Re: 1:1 gravel pit sorting and stacking

Around here we have lots of recycled concrete plants that will use a machine like that. They even use them on large road projects to recycle the concrete and asphalt.

they way it works at a plant

Dump trucks come in with broken concrete. They dump near the crusher. Most will have 2 Large excavators. One with a hammer to brake up large chunks and another to load the crusher. A rubber tire loader will also aid in pushing up piles if it's busy.

After the concrete is crushed. The use of conveyors travel the newly crushed concrete to the large piles. Depending on demand they will more fine crushed stone or large stone.

If the machine is used just on site they set it up to crush to a specific size stone and only one conveyor is used. They simply crush and make piles then walk the machine forward and do it again.
