The crushing plant crushes the stones, rock, and natural materials obtained from the quarry. Stones or rock pieces of different sizes and properties are brought to the desired size by crushing them. The aggregates obtained from the crushing process are mostly used in the road and construction sectors.

Crushing stone, rock or ores is a demanding process and requires serious energy and investment. Companies must be very careful when choosing crushing plant equipment, as many different factors play a role, hardness of ore/rock body to be mined, required throughputs, etc. Thus, expert know-how is always recommended.

The aggregate crushing plant usually has 2-3 crushing stages and 1-2 screening stages. The following flowchart is an example of such a crushing plant.
