Production of gravel and ballast for construction has a series of rock splitting and sorting to produce different size mixes

Simple SummaryContent extracted from patent full text and abstract with AI.

This invention describes a process for producing gravel and ballast for construction by sequentially splitting, breaking, and sorting raw stone into different size mixes. The process involves feeding the stone through a main splitter, combining outputs in specific ratios, further breaking the material, and then sorting it into various granularities for use.

Use CasesContent extracted from patent full text and abstract with AI.

• Supplying construction sites with properly sized gravel and ballast
• Production of stone materials for road, railway, and bridge construction
• Manufacturing of graded aggregate for concrete production
• Providing ballast for railway tracks
• Supplying building materials for landscaping projects

BenefitsContent extracted from patent full text and abstract with AI.

• Enables efficient production of multiple gravel and ballast sizes in a single process
• Allows for precise control of mix ratios for different construction requirements
• Can improve material quality and consistency for end users
• Reduces manual labor and enhances automation in stone processing
• Optimizes use of raw materials and minimizes waste

Patent Abstract

Raw stone material is fed [1] to a main splitter unit [3] and the output combined with a percentage of the feed [4]. This is fed to a breaker [6] and the output fed to a screening unit [7] and is sorted [8] and combined in different ratios for delivery into loading wagons.
