Slate Crushing and Screening Process

Slate Crushing processing can be done in three or four stages, Slate primary crushing (first stage), Slate secondary crushing (second stage), tertiary (third stage) and, in some quarries, a quaternary (fourth stage). Slate Crushed rock, or product, is transported along the process line on conveyor belts or down chutes.

First Stage: The Slate primary crusher is fed via a chute and vibrating feeder. The base of the feeder is made of steel “grizzly” bars and the first screening operation is actually done. Fine material and dust produced by the blast, along with any remaining subsoil or weathered rock from the top of the quarry face, drops through the bars onto a separate conveyor belt and onto a stockpile. This screened material is called scalping and is used as rock fill.

Secondary Stage: The output from the primary crusher is conveyed onto the primary stockpile from which the Slate secondary crusher is fed. There is a screen house just after the secondary crusher which screens out small size crushed Slate stone and dust onto blinding stockpiles. The larger sized Slate stones pass through to the final crushing stages where they are fed through a series of cone crushers and screens. The output from the final cone crushers is conveyed to a screen house where large multiple deck screens sort the crushed Slate stone into the required aggregate sizes.
