Dimensions of the blocks
On average, the standard measurements of the blocks extracted by the Troydo quarry are the following:
- Length: 2,0 to 3,0 m
- Width: 1,0 to 2,0 m
- Thickness: 0,5 to 1,5 m
Dimensions of the slabs
Squaring of the block
Before being sawn into slabs, the blocks are squared off and sized to dimensions by means of a disc with a 3 m diameter.
The slabs extracted in the quarry have the following variable dimensions:
- Length : 1,5 m to 3,0 m
- Width : 0,70 m to 2,0 m
The slabs are sawn at the quarry and their thickness varies depending on the needs of the marble masons and their final use.
Thickness of the bespoke slabs
Thanks to the Benetti FAST 736 sawing machine, the Troydo quarry can provide you with slabs of a precise thickness to respond to all of your requests. Our advantage is being able to cut slabs of several thicknesses out of the same block!
Recycling the offcuts
The squaring offcuts, the blocks unsuitable for retail and the excavated rocks are transported to the rockfill area to be separated by being poured through a sieve. Large blocks are reduced prior to this by means of a hydraulic hammer mounted on a digger.
The offcuts are then crushed so as to not be lost with our crushing equipment.
