Conveyors are used to transport materials

After stone is crushed and screened to
provide the desired size ranges, it is
necessary to handle the stone carefully or
the large and small particles may
separate, thereby destroying the blend in
sizes which is essential to meeting
graduation requirements.
BELT SEGREGATION
SEGREGATION
Segregation begins on the belt where fines
vibrate to the bottom and coarse aggregate remains
on the top as the material bounces across the idlers.
At the end of the belt, if left un-deflected, the coarse
particles are thrown out and away. Fine particles, on
