7 inch to 10 inch oversize

Have a customer that wants some oversize limestone made for his use. He has a pit good limestone whats best crusher for this. I have made limestone roadbase and had oversize but never just strickly oversize and trying to get most bang for my buck.

Thanks In advance

Guess I should call it rip rap some people call it oversize some call it rip rap. And can this be achieved by blasting and screening with a rip rap screen.

Seen the thread caption and was going to comment. Then read the thread realized it is total not what I thought..........

Would love to comment, but alas we have no limestone up here, so it wouldn't be sound advice. Sorry.

yea i would say screen the blast is the most efficient the only other way would be to open the jaws all the way out on a jaw crusher and see what that produces i would start just by screening the blast

A rip rap plant is your best bet. Assuming the customers is wanting a quantity feasible to pay for the plant. We bought one a few years back for $25,000. It works ok, but is an older model and not exactly the best one out there, still much faster than bucket sorting it. I think we were getting 100 tph of 8-16" rock with a 450 hitachi feeding and a 980 packing off. But then you also have 8" minus, and 16" plus coming off, which are both sellable in their own form. Google them to see different models. Kind of a simple design, kind of goofy but it does work.
