Colored crushed stone production technology

The crushed stone is sorted into fractions of the desired size with the help of a screen (or manually with a grid). Usually crushed stone larger than 10 mm is screened out, since it is more convenient to paint it. Also, with the help of sorting, garbage and other contaminants are eliminated.

Then the sorted mass is immersed in a concrete mixer and paint of the desired color is poured in the amount of 20% of the volume of crushed stone. Then the process of mixing the material takes place for 40-60 minutes. Upon completion of the process, all material will be evenly coated with paint.

In order to save paint, the extraction of colored rubble should be carried out above the receiving hopper through a metal mesh. All excess paint will drain into this bin, which can be used for the next painting.
