G.P.R. Marmi crushing and selection plant
Recovery

From the quarry,
nothing goes to waste.

Valorizing by-products and processing fractions lets us obtain further materials from the same rock.

The process

From extraction to new product.

Alongside block extraction, waste material and processing fractions are selected, crushed, and turned into aggregates and micronized calcium carbonate.

01

Extraction

The block is extracted from the quarry in the Perlato Royal basin.

02

Selection

Material unsuited for squaring and processing by-products are separated and sorted.

03

Recovery

Material selected for recovery is collected and sent to our dedicated plant.

04

Crushing

Recovered material is crushed, reducing it to smaller grain sizes.

05

Micronizing

The finest fractions are ground down into calcium carbonate powder.

06

New product

The material becomes aggregate or micronized calcium carbonate, ready for industrial use.

The G.P.R. Marmi recovery process: extraction, selection, processing, recovery, and land restoration
Why we do it

Less waste, more usable material.

Recovering quarry fractions lets us obtain aggregates and micronized calcium carbonate from the same rock extracted for blocks, reducing the material destined for waste.
