Raw Material |
|
The raw material comes
from the nearby Saliara
quarry. Thassos white
marble is a very well
known dimension stone
due to its unique
whiteness. It is a
coarse-grained dolomitic
marble, with the
following
physicomechanical
properties. |

|
Process |
|
Highly skilled front end
loader and dumper truck
operators create a feed
stock pile through
selective sorting from
the quarry’s waste
material or directly
from the quarry’s
production benches. The
size of the material is
reduced with a hydraulic
hammer and the output is
fed for primary crushing
into a jaw crusher.
Secondary crushing
follows with a
horizontal shaft
crusher. Tertiary
crushing is done with a
hammer mill.
Intermediate screening
and sorting is carried
out with inclined
vibrating screen decks. |
