Concrete Recycling Industry
Concrete Recycling Industry
The process of concrete recycling in Sacramento includes high-quality aggregate, and involves crushing, pre-sizing, sorting and screening, as well as the elimination of contaminants. One primary consideration is starting the process with a base of clean and quality rubble that will meet the determined recycling criteria and yield a quality product for delivery to the distributor.
The crushing and screening procedure begins with primary jaws and cones and in certain cases, large impactors able to process rubble sized from 30 inches to 4 feet. The nature of a particular run will determine whether a secondary cone or impactor will be needed in the process, with the same scenario applied to usage of primary and secondary screens. Importantly, it is the desired final product that will determine the equipment to be used for concrete recycling in Sacramento.
The scalping screen will be responsible for the removal of dirt and foreign particles while a fine harp deck screen will provide the means for removing any fine materials from the coarse aggregate. These procedures will be added to as necessary; including further cleaning that will ensure the recycled concrete product is free of clay, dirt, plastic, wood, and various organic materials. This is achieved by water flotation, air separators, and hand selection, supported by electromagnetic separators
An onsite crushing and concrete recycling in Sacramento operation are regarded by many in the industry as being among the primary key factors in the recycling route, by its capacity for its providing cost-effective measures; for example, eliminating the need to transport concrete to a landfill and the cost of the material disposal.
With an onsite operation, not only is there not a requirement to pay for debris removal, but the added benefit of the end product becoming “free” material, for use in new construction projects.
