Kyrgyzstan Project: We Have Started Erecting a 2023-Model Stationary Crushing, Washing and Screening Plant

We have begun assembly work on a crushing, washing and screening plant in Kyrgyzstan that will run at a capacity of 200-250 tonnes per hour.

The plant handles three separate tasks together. The crushing stage brings run-of-mine material from the quarry down to the target size, the screens split the material into fractions and the washing unit cleans out clay and silt mixed into the aggregate. If this last step is skipped for aggregate going into concrete or asphalt, the specification values cannot be met.

A stationary crushing and screening plant is the preferred choice when a quarry will be worked at the same location for many years. High capacity and low maintenance spending are advantages that come directly from this type of installation.

Assembly, meanwhile, is a step-by-step process.

Foundation and chassis work is completed first; then the crushers are set in place, the conveyor lines are built, the screen and washing unit are connected and, last of all, the electrical and automation system is commissioned. On a 200-250 tonne line, if this order slips, the next stage is left waiting idle.

In regions such as Kyrgyzstan where logistics take a long time, the spare-parts plan is prepared at the same time as the installation. Which parts are kept in stock on site is decided by looking at the hardness of the material being processed.
