Features of Pacific Cement & Aggregates´ Moveable Quarry Rock Crushing Plants and Overland Conveyor System

A number of overland conveyor systems have been installed by the cement industry to transport raw materials from the quarry site to the plant site. Somewhat newer to the industry is the concept of making primary crushing plants moveable so that they may be economically fed by large capacity front end loaders directly from the quarry face. Features of two moveable crushing plants and a 3-mi long overland conveyor system installed by Pacific Cement & Aggregates, a Division of the Lone Star Cement Corporation, to crush and transport raw materials for its Santa Cruz Cement Mill located at Davenport, Calif., are discussed.
