Here’s a simplified flow chart for a typical crushing plant used in aggregate production or mining operations:

Key Components Explained:
1. Primary Crushing: Reduces large rocks to ~6–12 inches.
2. Secondary Crushing: Further breaks down material to ~1–3 inches.
3. Screening: Separates crushed material by size; oversize is recycled.
4. Tertiary Crushing: Produces finer aggregates or manufactured sand.
5. Stockpiling: Sorted materials are stored for dispatch or further use.

Optional Steps:
– Washing & Scrubbing (for removing clay/dust).
– Dust Control Systems (sprayers, bag filters).
– Recycling Loop (returning oversize material to earlier stages).
