Welcome to Graniterock’s A.R. Wilson quarry, nestled in the hills near Aromas, California.
Established in the late 1800s to help build America’s West Coast railroads, today it produces millions of tons of aggregate, feeding much of Silicon Valley and Northern California.
Beyond its enormous scale, the quarry features amazing machines, the most amazing being their 3,000-ton-per-hour mobile crusher, nicknamed the “Krupp.”
By moving the crusher as needed, Graniterock’s crews can produce material extremely efficiently, pushing with dozers then loading with large loaders.
Graniterock’s been a huge BuildWitt supporter since I began, and we’re very thankful to be back!

The aggregate from that quarry is known for producing high-quality concrete with high strength and low shrinkage. I was on a concrete placement for the aprons at Oakland airport. The concrete used 1-1/2" Aromas granite aggregate. The aprons are two feet thick. I went to a July 4th party at that quarry about 30 years ago. Peter Noone of Herman's Hermits performed. He lamented that he was performing in an effing quarry.

Funny story about the performance. Thanks for sharing both the airport particulars and Peter Noone's lament. I saw a similar event at a wedding party. During a break, a well known concert pianist somewhat lamented to me he felt offended that people continued their conversations. I hope I 'got through' to him that people came for the WEDDING, the Bride, the Groom, and the social circle of friends sharing some time together. Given the venue's purpose, his performance, no matter how good, would automatically receives second (or lower) billing.

As a retired heavy equipment operator that's worked with crushers , I see lots of fines in those buckets going into that portable crusher. If that was pure stone, those producing numbers would be alot lower. I enjoy these videos but I will point out the obvious.
@becauseboost4726
@becauseboost4726 8 дней назад
That’s exactly what I thought. This buckets are full of fines. I do wonder if it does have the ability though to crush rock face at that tonnage hour as well. I couldn’t find any facts about it elsewhere.
@freedomrings1420
@freedomrings1420 8 дней назад
@@becauseboost4726 I guess that you never worked around or fed a rock crusher. As fines totally bypass the crusher parts of the machine. And pure rock almost all goes through the crusher.

You didn’t read his comment correctly there’s more dirt than rocks going up the fuc@ing conveyor therefore the tonnage is mostly fines.

​​ I guess that you can't read the second part of his comment. If the material is all rock it must be crushed and slows down the process where as mostly dirt bypasses the crusher which would give you less tonnage per hour. . Obviously you're another one that hasn't a clue.

@gregparrott
@gregparrott 20 часов назад
Thanks for the video. It makes a lot of sense to pre-filter the 'fines' out of what the crusher must deal with. Yet what is shown at 0:13 and 0:27 is that the cone crusher is being fed with a mix that includes fines. Perhaps they sometimes deliberately admit fines when they wish to increase the percentage of material that is ultimately reduced to 'fines'?

What I don't understand is how the loaders are dumping already crushed granite into the big crusher. Where does that come from? The video says from the scrapers, but how do the scrapers load granite? I remember Aaron visiting Chris Guins (Letsdig18) in NC a couple of years ago, and him coming across as a bit of a dork. He had a nerdy catch phrase about making dirt look pretty, which was totally cringe making. Sorry Aaron if you read this. According to Social Blade, you are making a lot more money than Chris from RU-vid with a lot less subscribers, so you must be doing something right.

the rock is blasted then ripped / pushed by dozers before it gets to this point. It looks fine because the equipment is so big, but it's plenty rocky as it's being fed

Didn’t see a lot of rock going into that crusher….. those 992’s were dumping gravelly material mainly. I suppose after all these years they have to pamper it a bit with easy to digest material. Grampa’s teeth aren’t what they used to be.😂
