Concrete grinding pads are critical in Melbourne’s construction and aggregate industries, especially for refining surfaces and preparing raw materials for crushing/screening lines. These diamond-embedded tools ensure efficient material reduction, directly impacting the quality of sand and gravel production.
Modern aggregate plants integrate grinding pads with robust machinery:
– Jaw Crushers: Primary crushing (e.g., 500TPH capacity, inlet 1200x1500mm)
– Cone Crushers: Secondary crushing (e.g., 300HP motor, CSS 16-38mm)
– VSI Crushers: Sand shaping (55-400kW power, output 50-650t/h)
– Vibrating Screens: Multi-deck classification (3-5 layers, 15-30° inclination)
| Equipment | Power (kW) | Max Feed Size (mm) | Output (t/h) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Jaw Crusher | 90-315 | 1200 | 200-800 |
| Cone Crusher | 75-400 | 350 | 100-600 |
| VSI Crusher | 55-400 | 50 | 50-650 |
A Melbourne-based contractor utilized #30/40 grit resin-bonded grinding pads to pre-process demolished concrete before feeding it into a mobile jaw crusher (MC120Z). The setup achieved 180t/h recycled aggregate production with <5% fines content.
– Pair grinding pads with dust extraction systems to reduce PM10 emissions by 70%
– Use segmented diamond pads (>15mm thickness) for hard granite processing
– Optimize crusher settings based on real-time particle size analysis
