1. PAINPOINT DRIVEN OPENING

Managing a premium quarry site in Lagos demands consistent, highspec aggregate to meet the region’s rigorous construction standards. The financial and operational costs of inconsistency are severe. Are you contending with frequent, unplanned downtime due to crusher blockages from unwashed, clayheavy feed? Is your final product quality fluctuating, leading to rejected loads and reputational damage? Are your water recycling and slurry management systems struggling with Lagos’s seasonal rains, creating environmental and space challenges? Each hour of halted production and every truckload of offspec material directly erodes your margin. The core question is: how do you transform variable raw feed into a guaranteed, premium product while maximizing asset uptime and controlling operational costs?

2. PRODUCT OVERVIEW

This content addresses the Premium Quarry Sites In Lagos Quality Control imperative through integrated Modular Wash Plants and Advanced Classification Systems. This equipment category is engineered for the precise beneficiation of sand and aggregates.

The operational workflow is:
1. Primary Feed & Scrubbing: Raw, claybound material is fed into an attrition scrubber or log washer to break down conglomerates.
2. Size Classification: Material is screened to separate coarse aggregate from sand fractions.
3. Fine Material Washing & Dewatering: Sand particles are routed through a cyclone or screw classifier to remove silt and ultrafines, followed by dewatering on a fine material washer or dewatering screen to produce a dripfree, commercially dry product.
4. Water Management: Slurry from the washing process is sent to a compact water treatment plant for silt settling and clear water recycling.

Application Scope: Ideal for granite, limestone, and sandstone quarries producing concrete sand, plaster sand, and washed aggregates. Key limitations include a requirement for a consistent feed size (typically precrushed to 75mm) and sufficient water source or closedloop system commitment.

6. APPLICATION SCENARIOS

Granite Quarry, Lekki Axis Challenge:

Producing concrete sand that failed slump tests due to inconsistent fines modulus (FM) and high silt content (>5%), causing batch plant rejections.
Solution:
Integration of a cyclone classification module after primary screening on their existing crushing circuit.
Results:
Silt content stabilized at <3%, FM consistently within Zone II (2.22.6). Product rejection fell from ~15% to <1%, allowing a 10% price premium for certified quality.

Integrated Crushing & Screening Contractor Challenge:

Inability to tender on major infrastructure projects requiring washed aggregates due to lack of onsite washing capability; outsourcing washing was costly and logistically chaotic.
Solution:
Deployment of a midrange (120 TPH) modular wash plant with a compact water recycling unit.
