– Crushing waste material such as crushing concrete and crushing asphalt is an overall process. The crushing plant is probably the largest part of the process but not the only part. Operators must consider the loader to feed the material, a processing preparation machine to reduce unmanageable material into a size the crushing plant can accept, a loader to load out processed material, site preparation as well as labor.
– The overall jobsite investment must be considered in order to operate a smooth and efficient operation. In addition, understanding the costs of each of the jobsite machines as well as labor costs, will help owners and operators understand their actual costs in order to determine their profit and ways to become more efficient.
– In addition, competitive pricing from quarries and other recycling yards should be considered when pricing the material for sale. In addition, understanding the size materials that are in demand as well as most profitable will ensure you are producing what the customers want to buy.
– A screening system after the crusher will ensure each and every product is perfectly sized. This will help to control quality and ensure you are making what is in demand. Having the ability to produce a variety of screened sizes to meet the demand is vital for one’s success. Rock quarries utilize a combination of crushers and screens to ensure they stock a variety of sizes to meet demand.
– Screening systems and screening plants create versatility and assist in the percentage of material that is in each stockpile. It’s important to understand the gradation of the produced procut so the highest percentage of produced crushed procut is what is in the most demand.
-Crushing and screening plants that have both crushers and screens will be the most versatile and allow operators the flexibility they need to be competitive in an ever changing environment.
– One could argue that a mid-sized crushing and screening system will provide the greatest value by allowing smaller operators to grow and larger operators the ability to reduce production as the market slows. Mid-sized crushing and screening systems are more affordable to purchase, operate and maintain.
– Customers will tell you what sizes they want and the price they’re willing to pay. To ensure you sell everything you produce, be sure your crusher can be adjusted on the fly to adapt to customer needs.
