A 350 t/h Crushing Plant for Fill Material on Its Way to Kosovo

The crushing plant we built for a project in Kosovo has left the factory. With its transport preparations complete, the plant is designed to produce 350 tonnes of fill material per hour on site.

Producing fill is not the same job as producing aggregate. Concrete aggregate calls for a regular grain shape and a narrow fraction. With fill, the main expectation is that the material compacts well: material with a wide particle size distribution leaves fewer voids once compacted. That difference also changes the screening layout of the line, and how cubical the crusher's product is becomes a secondary concern.

350 tonnes per hour is a production level that supplies road and infrastructure projects.

A line of this size is dimensioned with the primary crusher, screening stage and conveyors considered together. Because the weakest link sets the line's output, the screen area is chosen to match the crusher's capacity.

Where a quarry will operate in the same place for many years, a stationary crushing plant is the preferred option. A line set on a concrete foundation runs more steadily at high tonnage and keeps maintenance costs down.
