CRUSHING WORLD OF THE AGGREGATES

①What Is Aggregates?

Aggregates is the technical name for the sand, stone and gravel (including marine aggregates), crushed rock, recycled and manufactured. Aggregates play an important role in national economic development and also the wellbeing of People’s livelihood. The global aggregates market size was valued at USD 463.3 billion in 2019 and is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.3% from 2020 to 2027. 

② How Does Aggregates Come From?

Primary aggregates are produced from natural sources, extracted from quarries, sand & gravel extraction sites, and in some countries’ sea dredged. Secondary aggregates include recycled and re-used aggregates. Recycled aggregates are reprocessed materials previously used in construction. Manufactured aggregates are usually by-products of other industrial processes such as blast or electric furnace slags or china clay residues. (Usually Crushed by Jaw, Cone and Vertical Shaft Impact Crusher, Myloo carbide wear parts prolong the lifetime of crushers)

③ What Is Aggregates Used For?

Aggregates are granular materials used in construction our roads, sidewalks, buildings as well as railway ballast, armour stones, beach replenishment,etc.. It’s in virtually all of our construction materials-asphalt, concrete, glass, brick etc.. Aggregates are also raw materials used in the manufacture of other vital construction products such as ready mixed concrete (made of 80% aggregates), pre-cast concrete products, and asphalt products (made of 95% aggregates).

Knowing about our reliance on aggregates for constructing helps us appreciate how fortunate we are to live on our unique rocky planet. It also helps us ensure that we use these earth resources sustainably.
