Aggregate Introduction
Aggregates were first considered to simply be filler for concrete to reduce the amount of cement required. However, it is now known that the type of aggregate used for concrete can have considerable effects on the plastic and hardened state properties of concrete. They can form 80% of the concrete mix so their properties are crucial to the properties of concrete.
Aggregates can be broadly classified into four different categories: these are heavyweight, normal weight, lightweight and ultra-lightweight aggregates. However in most concrete practices only normal weight and lightweight aggregates are used. The other types of aggregates are for specialist uses, such as nuclear radiation shielding provided by heavyweight concrete and thermal insulation using lightweight concrete.
aggregate crushing equipment
Jaw crusher is usually used as primary aggregate crusher for coarse aggregate crushing process. In the aggregate crushing plant, it is used to crush natural stones like limestone, feldspar and granite into coarse aggregtes.
Impact crusher can be used as aggregate crushing equipment in secondary aggregate crushing process. It is used to crush crushed aggregate into fine aggregate. In the complete aggregate crushing plant, cone crusher is also used as fine aggregate crusher machine.
Liming Heavy Industry (Shanghai) are one of the world’s leading crushing equipments manufacturers. Based on decades of experience, our aggregate crushing equipments have achieved national level. And our products have exports to Mexico,Russia, Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan, Turkey, Kuwait, South Africa, Egypt, Vietnam, Malaysia, India, Indonesia, Australia, Korea, Canada, etc.
Spodumene: According to the hard rock crushing process, the crushed product is generally 5-40mm, combined with different design requirements of customers, two-end or three-stage crushing, high-grade crushed products (above 4-5%) can be directly used in the metallurgical process to produce lithium carbonate Or lithium hydroxide, the particle size of the finished product is generally around 20-40mm; low-grade generally requires ball mill grinding and separation, and the particle size of the finished product is generally around 5-20mm;
