No matter the screen or screen media, there are two common problems producers face with screening: plugging and blinding. Plugging occurs when near-size particles become lodged in screen openings, blocking the open surface area and decreasing the amount of material being screened. Suggested solutions for plugging include: Increasing the stroke

This chapter reviews the main topics related to aggregate extraction from surface and underground methods. Although aggregate sources can be widely variable, the methods of extraction are very similar throughout the world, with crushed rocks mainly extracted from quarries (surface and underground mining) and sand and gravel from gravel pits.

SAND & GRAVEL: The first-ever study of miners working at Michigan's sand and gravel mines found none with silicosis but a higher rate of asthma than other production workers, as well as a risk of shortness of breath and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. The state has more than 3,500 surface miners, 1,200 of whom participated in the MSU-led study.

If enough respirable silica dust is aspirated, it can develop into silicosis, a disabling and irreversible lung disease that can even become fatal. In addition to posing health risks, fugitive aggregate dust can drift farther into the facility, where it can: reduce visibility; create costly extra housekeeping and maintenance

How can I find out if I have silicosis? Miners must undergo a medical examination to determine the presence of silicosis. This is especially important for miners who have worked in areas with a high probability of exposure to silica-containing dust. Talk to your doctor about your silica exposure and the necessary medical screening.

The concordance of findings among SSMs is striking; silica exposures are very high, with commensurate high disease and symptom prevalences. 4 Silicosis rates among SSMs are 3–9 times higher than recorded among South African gold miners from large-scale mines in the 2000s. 18 The increased risk is plausible, as the typical SSM could incur the ...
