SCREENING PROCESS

The making of Rock Dust, also called, Stone Dust or Quarry Dust begins with using a 'rock crusher' in a quarry or site with plenty of large rocks. There are many types of crushers, but their main job is the same: Crush larger rocks into smaller pieces. During that process, crushed stone is then passed through different screeners to be organized and stored in different piles according to their size. The screening process starts by removing larger stones, then medium stones, and eventually goes all the way down to 'stone dust', the Byproduct of crushing stones. The stone dust is collected using a screen that keeps the larger pieces of crushed stone above the screen while allowing the rock dust to fall through. All materials have properties that make them suitable for different purposes. Stone dust has many properties that make it a useful byproduct to use for hardscaping jobs and landscaping jobs. Understanding the properties of stone dust can help you to decide which jobs it is most suitable. The use of Stone Dust is for agricultural purposes. Farmers add stone dust to the soil as it increases soil fertility and changes the pH level of the soil. In areas that have been intensively farmed or those with tropical soil, demineralization is a big problem. Using rock dust is an ideal solution to this problem as it reverses the process by adding minerals and restoring life to the soil. This helps the soil’s ecosystem so that it is able to support plant life.
