Crushing and screening are processes used in the construction, mining, and other industries to break down large chunks of materials into smaller, more manageable pieces and to classify these pieces by size.
Crushing involves the use of machinery such as jaw crushers, cone crushers, and hammer mills to break down large rocks, ore, or other solid materials into smaller pieces. The crushing process provides a more manageable particle size for further processing or for direct use in applications such as construction and road building.
Screening follows the crushing process and involves separating the different sizes of crushed materials using screens with various mesh sizes. The purpose is to classify and sort the crushed material into different size categories, which can then be used in different applications or processed further.
These processes are vital in ensuring that industries can produce materials that meet the specifications for various construction projects, as well as in the production of other useful materials.
