A soft stone crushing plant is designed to process relatively easy-to-crush materials such as limestone, marmer, gips, dolomiet, or chalk. These stones have lower hardness (tipies Mohs 3-5) compared to hard rocks like granite or basalt. Below is a detailed breakdown of a soft stone crushing plant setup:

1. Key Components of a Soft Stone Crushing Plant
# (1) Primêre verpletterende stadium
- Kakebeen Vloeker (Recommended for coarse crushing)
- Handles large feed size (tot 1,200 mm).
- Produces output of ~150-300 mm.
- Impak Crusher (Alternative for softer stones)
- Better for less abrasive materials.

# (2) Secondary Crushing Stage
- Kegelbreker (For medium-hardness stones)
- Produces well-shaped aggregates (~20-70 mm).
- Impak Crusher (Preferred for softer stones like limestone)
- Provides better cubical shape.

# (3) Tertiary/Fine Crushing Stage (Opsioneel)
- Vertikale skagimpak (ALMAL) Crusher or Hammer Crusher
- Produces sand or fine aggregates (~0-5 mm).

# (4) Sifting & Gradering
- Vibrating Screen separates different sizes (bv., 0-5mm, 5-10mm, 10-20mm).

# (5) Vervoerbandstelsel & Stofbeheer
- Belt conveyors transport materials between stages.
- Stofonderdrukkingstelsels verminder lugdeeltjies.

2. Typical Flow Process
1. Voeding: Raw material is loaded into a hopper via an excavator or wheel loader.
2. Primêre verplettering: Jaw crusher reduces large chunks to ~150-300 mm.
3. Sekondêre verplettering: Cone/impact crusher further breaks down to ~20-70 mm.
4. Sifting: Separates aggregates into required sizes; oversize goes back for recrushing.
5. (Opsioneel) Sand maak: VSI crusher produces fine sand if needed.
