Background

A Gravel processing plant typically requires a combination of equipment and machinery to process raw materials into finished products that meet specific quality and size requirements. The exact equipment and machinery needed may vary depending on the specific operation and the type of sand and gravel being processed, usually:

  • A primary crusher: This machine is used to break down large rocks into smaller pieces that can be processed more easily.
  • Vibrating feeders: These devices are used to transport raw materials from the primary crusher to other processing equipment.
  • Scalping screens: These screens remove large particles that are not needed in the final product.
  • Gravel washing and classification equipment: These machines are used to wash, separate, and classify the sand and gravel by size and shape.

Gameplay

The player places a Gravel processing plant for the production of gravel anywhere on the map on equalized, solid ground. To produce gravel the player needs to deliver quarried stone to the Gravel processing plant and workers need to be available in the plant.

Production

The large Gravel processing plant can have a maximum daily production of 82t of gravel per workday, while the small Gravel processing plant has a maximum daily production of 27t of gravel per workday.

Storage

Gravel can be stored in aggregate storages.

Transportation

Gravel can be transported in dump trucks, train hopper cars and via conveyor belts.
