Rock Breaker Systems

Applications

• Aggregates

  There are two main classes of aggregates: natural and manufactured. Deleterious material needs to be removed from both classes. Processing these materials typically requires various steps including reduction and sizing and also may include dewatering and sorting. Producers can use a variety of crushing, screening, dewatering and conveying equipment to meet their desired specifications.

• Construction & Demolition Recycling

  Construction and demolition recycling (C&D) is mixed material associated with construction and demolition. The material could include wood, cardboard, gypsum, plastic, metal, wire, roofing shingles, asphalt, concrete and more. By separating and recycling different materials it reduces landfill waste and associated costs, while also producing value-added products.

• Concrete Recycling

  Concrete is one of the most recycled materials in the world and can be repurposed several times over. Once the existing concrete is demolished or torn up, it needs to be processed for accurate shaping and sizing using a crusher and screen.
