From 0-5mm to 40mm: Controlling Final Product Size in Granite Crushing


Granite isn’t just a pretty face on kitchen countertops—it’s the muscle behind countless construction projects. But the magic doesn’t happen until it’s crushed, sifted, and sculpted into the exact sizes needed, ranging from whisper-fine 0–5mm dust to sturdy 40mm chunks. These sizes from granite crusher machine aren’t arbitrary. They’re the difference between a rock-solid foundation and a total structural flop.

The Role of Particle Size in Granite Applications

Why size matters in construction and industrial use


You can’t just crush granite and hope for the best. The final size determines where and how the aggregate gets used. For instance, 0–5mm fines are essential in making concrete smoother and more workable, while 10–20mm gravel finds its way into roads, drainage beds, and structural backbones. Jump to 30–40mm, and you're looking at railway ballast or large-scale civil engineering projects.

The wrong size? That’s a recipe for cracked concrete, clogged filters, or underperforming drainage systems. Size, quite literally, shapes performance.

Matching product size with end-use requirements


Each project speaks a different language when it comes to particle size. Ready-mix concrete thrives on the perfect blend—often a tight mix of 10mm and 20mm. Asphalt, on the other hand, leans more into the smaller grades. Large gabion stones need sizes closer to the upper limit of the 40mm mark.

This is why size control isn’t just a checkbox—it’s a deal-breaker. It decides whether a batch of crushed granite becomes premium construction material or gets tossed in the reject pile.

Key Crushing Stages and Equipment for Size Control

Primary to tertiary crushing and how each stage narrows the size


The journey of a granite boulder is epic. First, it meets the jaw crusher, which performs the brutal task of breaking down massive chunks—think 600mm or larger—into manageable pieces. But this is only the beginning.

Next in line: the cone crusher or sometimes an impact crusher for secondary crushing. Here, the rocks are honed down to medium sizes—around 40mm to 20mm. Precision begins to take shape.

The final act belongs to the tertiary crusher. This stage focuses on finesse, churning out finely graded material, often in the 0–10mm range. Some setups go even further with vertical shaft impactors (VSI) to produce sharp-edged, cubical sand from granite dust.

Mobile Crusher Plant

Equipment that makes or breaks the final particle


Different crushers wear different hats. Jaw crushers are brute-force machines—efficient but not subtle. Cone crushers provide balance, allowing adjustable settings to dial in medium-size granules. Meanwhile, VSIs are artists in disguise, refining texture and angularity with uncanny precision.

Screening decks work behind the scenes, sorting crushed rock by size through multiple layers of vibrating meshes. Without screens, you’re just guessing. With them, you’re orchestrating.

Achieving Granular Precision: Techniques and Tips

Using screening, feedback loops, and automation


Getting the right size isn't luck. It's a game of calibration. Modern crushers for gravel use closed-circuit systems, where oversize material loops back into the crusher until it fits the grade. This feedback loop ensures nothing too big sneaks through the system.

Automation tools step in with sensors and real-time adjustments, reducing human error. Think of it as cruise control for crushing—smart, consistent, and efficient.

Adjustments that fine-tune output from dust to 40mm


Want more fines? Tighten the crusher setting. Too much dust? Adjust the screen inclination or mesh size. Operators often tweak eccentric throw or CSS (closed-side setting) to match real-world demands. Even small changes—a few millimeters—can have dramatic effects on the particle profile.

Water spray systems can also be added to control dust and improve screening accuracy, especially when targeting the 0–5mm range. It's not brute force—it’s finesse.

Controlling granite's final size is a mix of science, art, and machine muscle. From boulders to dust, every step matters. And when it’s done right, you don’t just get the right size—you get the right results.

@Humpleupagus

So I signed up for three months of classes in advance at a martial arts studio because it was the only one that taught a specific martial art I wanted to learn

I requested for permission not to bow to any object such as a shrine & only to bow to human beings

He gave me a sheet after I signed up and it mentioned saluting country flags

I do not know what to do if he says that saluting a flag is not bowing nor a religious ritual

I want to be legally prepared but not a jerk

Ok so this is bizarre he teaches TaeKwanDoe and HapKiDo

I can learn TaeKwanDo anywhere but I signed up specifically because of the HapKiDo

Now his instructions on paper say to

"Salute to Flag"

And

"Bow to student highest in rank"

But when I look online it says in TaeKwanDo that they bow to the flag

Also in pledge of allegiance people put their hands over their hearts

So now I am wondering if it will end up looking like Nazi Salutes or bowing?

in reply to HaraldvonBlauzahn

A lot of incorrect assumptions in this article. If you don't like the idea of a key exchange over passwords, I hope you use password auth when you SSH into things 😁

The word passwordless is nonsense. In most cases, most passkey implementations, you need a PIN to unlock your private key to authenticate. PIN = password, except it's numbers only. Nonsense. Passkeys simply obfuscate the problem and move it somewhere else, most often into a PROPRIETARY key management tool. For example, Microsoft wants you to use THEIR authenticator app. Not just any app that adheres to the standard. Nope. This effectively means super-vendor-lock-in. Absolute nonsense.


You can argue that the term "password less" is nonsense, but there is literally nothing about the spec that prevents you from using passkeys as they were designed: with hardware keys that support the open FIDO2 authentication protocol. Yes, you still need a second factor to verify the authentication attempt (via a PIN), but unless you're mailing that key to hackers, the private key generated by your SoloKey, NitroKey, or another open source hardware key, is more secure than any password ever will be.

Passkeys usually require a phone - this is a single point of failure, and one that gives the big companies extra control over you. Phone, number, SIM, and so forth. A beautiful bevy of data. The whole idea of actually having to use your phone as an identity vector is horrible.


Phones support storing passkeys. Phones also support storing passwords. In no way does this mean you must use them for this. You can either use hardware keys, or you can use your favorite open source password manager to store passkeys where you should already be storing your passwords anyway.

You need "biometrics" to supposedly prove you're you to unlock your private key. Biometrics are a form of password, except you can't replace it, and it also gives yet more of your personal data to the big companies. More nonsense.


This is literally a direct contradiction of what the author said in their first bullet point. Use a PIN if you don't like using biometric auth.

The implementation of passkeys is fragmented, vendor-specific, and complicated. Only diehards who love technology can use this. The same kind of people who were "all in" when IoT/cloud crap came out, and now they see their smart homes slowly go offline as big vendors almost arbitrarily cut support for old gadgets and effectively kill products. Because cloud.


Most of this is actually a fair critique. The FIDO Alliance is still working on the spec, and I think they should require any implementation of passkeys to follow the spec to a tee without adding any kind of nonstandard bullshit to their authentication.

However, most advancements in tech begin with only appealing to enthusiasts and later become adopted by wider audiences. It doesn't make them bad that they aren't immediately popular with everyone.

Passkeys only solve one use case - phishing where the user inputs their password and MFA into a fake site.


I'm glad the author can at least recognize that there's at least one thing that passkeys solve that passwords can't. But it's not the only thing. When you enter a password on a site, you're hoping like hell that the service you're using hashes it and hashes it properly. When you authenticate with passkeys, you're sending the site a public key. This key will have way more entropy than any password will, so anyone trying to crack a hashed public key is in for a long, miserable time (obviously not impossible though). But even if they wasted their time doing that, it's a public key. Who cares?

Any service you use passkeys with instead of passwords won't put you in another leaked password database. ~~The public key just needs to be invalidated and~~ you can move on with your life.

I started to develop a minimal version of FosseryWeb 1-2 weeks ago, with the aim of Dillo and NetSurf compatibility, I just "finished" the site (in the sense that all articles and cheatsheets are available there).

In the beginning, it was a bit challenging to find ways to implement the planned design in a way that it isn't broken in the above mentioned browsers, but actually it was a fun challenge, it was a bit like a "don't use modern CSS features" challenge lol. I had to make some changes to the originally planned design to make it work, but hope you like it.

Besides the compatibility thing, I also made the site as lightweight as possible, by including only the necessary CSS styles for each page (mostly), and only include images where it's necessary (e.g. in a few cheatsheets).

fosseryweb-min.codeberg.page/

If you noticed a bug or have any recommendation, feel free to drop a comment.

I'm aware of some article/cheatsheet download issues mentioned on the Known issues section of the About page (fosseryweb-min.codeberg.page/a…), but I couldn't find a solution for those yet (some of those are browser-related, so I can't really do anything about them I guess). I could solve the Dillo issue by including Markdown files in zip, but even then, unzipping it is one extra step, so it wouldn't be any better than right clicking on the link imo.

ترس یا احترام؟


ریشه‌های احترام به بزرگترها در فرهنگ ایرانی

در فرهنگ ایرانی، احترام به بزرگترها یکی از مهمترین اصولی است که از دوران کودکی به ما آموزش

داده می‌شود. این احترام معمولاً به دلیل تصور خردمندی، تجربه و آگاهی بزرگترها شکل می‌گیرد؛ این باور را داریم که سال‌ها زندگی و آزمون و خطا به آن‌ها فهم و دانش بیشتری داده است. اما آیا واقعیت اجتماعی نیز همین را نشان می‌دهد؟ اطراف خودمان بزرگترهای بی‌خرد و گاه ناتوان در

درک شرایط نوین کم نیستند. این تناقض به نوعی نشان می‌دهد که احترام به بزرگترها صرفاًً پذیرش بی‌چون و چرای گفتار و رفتار افرادی است که سن بیشتری نسبت به ما دارند. این باور تا جایی پیش می‌رود که تخطی از این اصل پیامدهایی مانند برچسب‌های مختلف خوردن یا حتی طرد شدن از بعضی جمع‌ها را در پی دارد.

حساسیت به موضوع احترام به بزرگترها در باور فرد ایرانی از کجا می‌آید؟ به باور من این حساسیت ریشه در ترس دارد. الگوهایی از پیشینیان در ما شکل گرفته که بزرگترها را نه موجوداتی محترم، که موجوداتی قدرتمند، سلطه‌جو و گاهی حتی ترسناک می‌دانیم. برای در امان ماندن از این ترس، ابزاری به نام احترام را پیدا کردیم. منظوراز این موجودات سلطه‌جو و قدرتمند، افرادی مانند

حاکمان،صاحب منصبان، کارفرماها یا معلمان مدرسه نیستند. منظور بزرگترهای جامعه‌ی کوچک خانواده است.

این کهن الگوها چگونه در ذهن و روان ما شکل گرفته‌اند؟ نگاهی به تاریخ و اساطیر ایرانی بیندازید.

الگوهای کهن ایرانی‌ پر از کشمکش‌های خانوادگی است. چه در داستان‌ها و چه در تاریخ.

گشتاسپ، شاه بزرگی که پسرش را به کام مرگ می‌فرستد؛ فریدونی که کمر به قتل دو فرزندش می‌بندد. فرزندانی که خود برادر کوچکشان را کشته‌اند. اردوان چهارم، شاه اشکانی نیز از این فرزندکشی بی‌نصیب نبود. شاه عباس صفوی چهار پسر خود را کشت تا مبادا فرصت خیانت داشته باشند. از این فرزندکشی‌ها در تاریخ ایران بسیار است. البته که تاریخ تنها زندگی بزرگان را نقل

می‌کند. اما بعید می‌دانم مردم عادی نیز از آن بی‌بهره بوده باشند. در زمان حال که بیبهره نیستند.

رومینا اشرفی دختر چهارده ساله‌ای که توسط پدرش ذبح شد را به خاطر دارید؟قتلی که توسط قانون هم حمایت شد و بدون مجازات باقی ماند. به مواردی مانند رومینا می‌گوییم قتل ناموسی، اما این هم تنها نوعی دیگر از فرزندکشی است. برای قتل بابک خرمدین، کارگردان ایرانی، توسط پدرش نیز انگیزه‌ی ناموسی وجود داشت؟ واقعیت این است که فرزندکشی در ایران متنوع و پیچیده‌ای

دارد و محدود به جنسیت خاصی هم نمی‌شود.

در بسیاری از خانواده‌های ایرانی، اقتدار والدین با کنترلی بی‌چون و چرا و حتی گاهی خشونت همراه است. فرزندان موجوداتی وابسته و ناتوان هستند که اغلب امکان دفاع از خود یا اعتراض ندارند. این شرایط زمینه را برای تداوم چرخه‌ای از ترس و سلطه فراهم کرده که از نسلی به نسل بعد هم منتقل می‌شود. ترسی که نامش احترام است.

اما سوال اساسی این است که آیا این ساختار و این فرهنگ می‌تواند تغییر کند؟ آیا می‌توان ازالگوی احترام بر پایه‌ی ترس به احترام بر پایه‌ی عشق و درک متقابل رسید؟

تغییر فرهنگی ممکن است با آموزش عشق بی‌قید و شرط به فرزندان ( چیزی که والدین ایرانی کمتر از آن استفاده می‌کنند.)، حذف خشونت از روابط خانوادگی و اصلاح قوانین حمایتی آغاز شود؛

پیش از همه‌ی این‌ها، ساختار خشونت‌آمیز خانواده‌ها باید به ساختاری برمبنای عشق و فرزندپروری تغییر کند. آن زمان می‌توانیم احترام را نه ابزاری برای ترس، بلکه ابزاری برای نشان دادن علاقه به کار ببریم. شاید بتوانیم چرخه‌ی خشونت را بشکنیم و نسلی شادتر و آزادتر بسازیم.

بچه های امروزی ارزش آبرویی که پدر بدبختشون جمع کرده نمیدونن. خیلی درباره‌ی خشونت اغراق شده، بیشتر خانواده ها اینجوری نیستن و فقط وقتی بچه کار خیلی بدی کرد باهاش برخورد میکنن. اونم تازه نه خیلی شدید، کمی داد و فریاد

پسری رو میشناسم که دوست دختر داشت و پدرش سر این مضوع سکته کرد، وقتی داشت این داستانو برام میگفت داشت میخندید ؛/ سزای هرزه (به عنف) مرگه.

"Constitution" is nothing but set of rules written by ruling class,giving themselves permanent power over everyone with no opportunity for subjects to give any meaningful consent)

But atleast legal fictional "Habeas corpus" might provide some amount of protection,in some circumstances, when not every power wielding actor in society is not shamelessly & criminally ruthless

Its barest of bare minimum protection, but Kristi fails even there.

in reply to [Flawed] Anarchist ⚑

@[Flawed] Anarchist ⚑ I happen to believe our founding fathers actually had reasonable intentions with the Constitution, but there is a problem with any documents, 1st, it's only as good as it's enforcement, and when enforcement only goes along with the political whims of whomever is in power at the moment it's useless, second issue is that it's a document written in a fixed language, but the meaning of words drifts over time to the point where eventually the original intentions are lost. My view, there is nothing remotely constitutional at what happened on 1913, on Jekyll Island and yet here we are more than a century later still enslaved to a bunch of trillionaire globalist anti-humanist bastards. I don't see any hope for this country unless we do like Iceland did, through all the corrupt bankers in prison and create a national currency and start over.

Die #Grüne'n, die 18 Monate den #Genozid in #Gaza, sehr aktiv unterstützten, Waffenexporte an #Israel mitgenehmigten, #FakeNews verbreiteten & Juden/Jüdinnen instrumentalisierten um mit falschen #Antisemitismus-Vorwürfen gegen Kritiker/innen ihrer mörderischen Außenpolitik zu hetzen & eine Antisem.-Resolution durch den Bundestag prügelten, die nur dazu dient, Proteste unterdrücken, inszenieren sich jetzt als #Palästina-Unterstützer.

Es ist so verlogen & ekelhaft.

Die #Grüne'n sind Mittäter. Sie haben Waffen an die rechtsextreme israelische Regierung geliefert und #Kriegspropaganda verbreitet, um eine Zustimmung für die Waffenlieferungen zu erzeugen.

Sie haben die letzten 18 Monate Waffen geliefert für einen #Genozid an den Palästinensern/innen für das Bombardieren von Krankenhäusern, für das Ermorden von Kindern und ein Aushungern der Zilivbevölkerung.

News of the United States "NOTUS" self identifies as Nonpartisan but the journalist fellowship courses are led by writers from...
The Atlantic
Washington Post
NPR

The name is a little too cutesy and makes them appear anti-American, which they probably knew that already. It's doublespeak and not a great way to establish credibility.

But enjoy the fellowship!

alright lads the acura door is all back together and we have a working lock that matches the ignition key now. that is comfy.

the audio speaker i ordered should be here soon so i will have to pop that thing in when it gets here but that's easy. dealing with honda door handles and locks and actuators is a supreme pain in the ass requiring all kinds of awkward contortion inside the door. one of the more annoying components of hondas to work on.

Stalin: When describing their dialectical method, Marx and Engels usually refer to Hegel as the philosopher who formulated the main features of dialectics. This, however, does not mean that the dialectics of Marx and Engels is identical with the dialectics of Hegel. As a matter of fact, Marx and Engels took from the Hegelian dialectics only its "rational kernel," casting aside its Hegelian idealistic shell, and developed dialectics further so as to lend it a modern scientific form. wordsmith.social/protestation/…


Quotes

  • Otto Kuusinen: As long as the working class wages only an economic struggle, the bourgeoisie does not see in that any great danger for itself; but when the working class organises politically, i.e., creates a political party which expresses its will as a class, the bourgeoisie begins seriously to fear for its rule. That is why reaction deals its main blows against the political party of the working class. At the same time, trying to undermine the party from within, capitalist propaganda endeavours to persuade the workers that they can do without their own party. One of the manifestations of bourgeois influence on the working class is the anarchist and anarcho-syndicalist denial of the leading role of a political party.
