2024 was a year of significant changes for the mining sector. Advances in technology, environmental awareness and efficiency searches transformed the dynamics of the sector. As Uğur Makina, we made significant contributions to the sector during this period and took important steps towards the future. Here are the 5 major trends affecting the mining sector

The crushing and screening sector plays a very important role, especially in the mining and construction sectors. This process allows stones and other materials to be separated and processed according to their sizes. However, managing these processes efficiently is one of the basic elements of project success. Achieving efficiency in crushing and screening projects is

The mining sector is an industry that has a major impact on the environment during the extraction and processing of natural resources. However, with the development of technology and the widespread understanding of sustainability, it has become possible to make mining activities environmentally friendly. In this article, we will provide information on the basic principles

What is Sieve Analysis? Standards and Methods    Sieve analysis is a crucial laboratory method used to determine the particle size distribution of aggregates. This method employs a series of standard sieves to identify the distribution of different-sized aggregates. Sieve analysis plays a significant role in evaluating aggregate quality and determining gradation, which directly affects

Crushing and screening plants play a critical role in reducing large-sized materials obtained from quarries to the desired dimensions. Aggregates used in construction, concrete, and road building are processed through crushing and screening to achieve the target sizes. Plant design is among the key factors for efficiency and cost optimization. Here’s what you need to

In aggregate production, reducing materials to the desired size is of great importance. The size reduction process involves crushing and grinding, which determine the quality of aggregates used in sectors such as construction, roads, and asphalt. So, what is size reduction, and what equipment and methods are used in this process?  What is Size Reduction?

Aggregates are divided into two main groups: natural and artificial:  –  Natural Aggregates:  These are materials formed by natural processes in nature and have not undergone any processing other than mechanical treatment. Materials such as gravel, sand, and those collected from riverbeds or seas fall into this category. Porous natural stones like volcanic tuff, pumice,

Aggregate is defined as a mass of natural, artificial, or a combination of both dense mineral materials, typically consisting of crushed and/or uncrushed grains of various sizes up to 100 mm. This material has a wide range of applications, from the construction sector to the production of asphalt roads. It can be obtained naturally or

The aggregate sector holds critical importance in the production of high-quality construction materials. Numerous tests are conducted to determine the physical, chemical, and mechanical properties of aggregates. These tests are carried out to ensure the durability and performance of the material when used in the construction sector. Let’s take a closer look at the details

In crushing and screening plants, the hardness of the stone and the layer thickness are very important. It is possible to increase the crusher clearance in rigid and brittle stones. The thin and medium-layered nature of the raw material negatively affects the flatness index. In order to have efficient production in crushing and screening plants,

How Should Machinery Equipment Selection Be in Crusher Plant Design? In aggregate production, the equipment cost of crushing and screening plantsconstitutes approximately 50% of the entire cost. For this reason, it is of great importance to choose the right equipment and to design the facility properly. The following details should be considered when choosing machinery

Sir Robert Hadfield Manganese SteelBritish Metallurgist Sir Robert Hadfield named the steel he discovered in 1882 by heating an alloy containing 1.2% carbon (C) and 12% Manganese (Mn) at 1000 °C and then quenching it with water. In 1970, Norwegian Raufoss increased the Manganese ratio to 19% and the Carbon ratio to 1.45%, achieving higher
