Paving Stones, Kerbstones and Wall Cladding: high production efficiency with automatic technology

The quality of your finished paving stones, kerbstones, and wall cladding determines your position in the market in the competitive world of industrial stone processing. In an effort to keep up with the new demands of architecture, quarry owners are abandoning the old techniques in favor of new high-performance hydraulic stone splitting systems that ensure accuracy and structural integrity.

Precision Engineering of Diverse Stone Products
To make it look like a natural rock-face finish, and at the same time, be dimensionally accurate, advanced stone splitting technology is necessary. Automation maximizes the three most popular stone products as follows:

1. Durable Paving Stones (Setts and Cubes) are durable, easy to work with, and available in various colors.
Paving stones need to be both slip-resistant and uniform in thickness where people have to walk through and on driveways. With an automatic stone splitter and adaptive blading, you can take advantage of the natural cleavages in the stone, which will give you a consistent unit that saves on time and labor involved in installation.

2. Heavy-Duty Kerbstones (Curbstones)
Urban infrastructure is comprised of kerbstones. To cut these huge-format stones, a hydraulic power strike is needed with a force of 20 to 300+ tons. Modern bridge-type splitters provide a clean vertical cut, avoiding micro-fractures and making the stone endure decades of environmental loads.

3. Decorative Wall Cladding & Veneers
The demand for natural wall cladding is to use a finer and lighter stone profile. PLC-controlled automated quarry splitting lines can be micro-adjusted to a blade position. This leads to high-yield production of decorative veneers with a low amount of rubble or waste.

Technology BEY: What is KingShun?
The effectiveness of your equipment will be important in terms of maximizing your production yield. KingShun Machinery develops the systems that focus on the typical masonry production pain points:

• Adaptive Floating Blades: Our personal hydraulic teeth reconfigure to the uneven surface of rough boulders and maintain a balanced distribution of pressure.
• Hardened Alloy Blades: Designed to last thousands of cycles, these hardened steel blades remain sharp longer and minimize the maintenance downtime.
• Integrated Conveyor Systems: The raw material is smoothly transported to the machine mouth, and finished products are discharged to form a complete stone processing line.

Modify to a Large-Volume Production Line
Do you want to grow your masonry company or maximize the performance of your quarry? KingShun Machinery offers the exclusive technology to convert rough stones into quality building products with little wastage.
