What are the commonly used stones in the construction industry?

At present, there are more than 200 kinds of rocks in the mining industry, but different rocks have differences in strength, grain size, application fields, and quality. The construction industry usually uses hard materials such as granite, basalt, river pebbles, cobblestone, andesite, rhyolite, diabase, diorite, sandstone, limestone, and other hard materials.

What are the types of building stones?

There are currently three types of construction stones on the market, which are suitable for different strength grades of concrete, including extra-fine, finely crushed, medium crushed, and coarse crushed, and the approximate specifications are about 5-150 mm. The first type is suitable for concrete with a strength grade greater than C60; the second type is suitable for concrete with a strength grade of C30-C60 and anti-freezing and impermeability; the third type is suitable for concrete with a strength grade of less than C30. The quality and technical requirements and particle gradation of construction pebbles and crushed stones are in accordance with national standards.

What equipment does the construction industry need?

Stones mined in mines cannot be used directly in the construction industry. They need to go through some processing techniques such as crushing equipment, screening equipment, and sand washing equipment before they can be used.

Crushing equipment: Jaw crusher (used for coarse crushing of materials, with the advantages of large crushing ratio and uniform crushing particle size); impact crusher/cone crusher (used for medium crushing of materials, with good finished product size, High working efficiency); Sand making machine (used for fine crushing of materials, using the working principle of stone beating and stone beating, the model of the finished grain, the fineness modulus is adjustable, which is very suitable for manual sand making and stone shaping)

Screening equipment: After crushing, the materials are sorted by circular vibrating screen, which can sort out stones of different sizes, which can be used in various fields of the construction industry.

Sand washing equipment: The equipment crushed by the crusher has a large amount of mud and more impurities. You can use a bucket wheel sand washer or a spiral sand washer to clean the materials, remove impurities and mud, and make the removed sand comply with the state Sand standard for construction.

Finally, the fine sand recycling machine is used to recover the sand lost in the process of washing the stone by the sand washing machine, which not only avoids the waste of resources but also protects the environment.

The above are the stones and equipment commonly used in the construction industry. Due to the different characteristics of materials, production capacity, and environment, specific equipment needs to be configured by consulting professional suppliers. Do not configure blindly and cause unnecessary losses. The Nile is a professional machinery supplier, the equipment produced is not only of good quality and high quality but also affordable.
