This psto describe precisely the main points of extraction and processing of marble.

39 is a photo, please do not break, the end will outline.

The quarry, the depth of about 80 meters.
Currently being developed plicative 3 quarries - basic, South and another.
Marble extracted: light (various shades), pink granite is also being developed fields.
in the photo can contemplate BelAZ gruzopodemnostyu 25 tons and cranes. If you look closely, visible and people.

The main quarry night
Work on the extraction and processing is carried out round the clock, 7 days a week.
The work in the quarry - one of the heaviest in summer temperatures of 40-45 degrees above zero in the winter are not uncommon and minus 50.
Heavy physical labor, and not a little LIABILITY.

Helicopter view of the quarry.
in the background the river koelga (merger with Uvelka slightly to the left, just 50 meters along the bed), and a small part of the village.
Road to the quarry delivers thorough way - the more serpentine. BelAZ and manage it is not easy - for this we must have yaytsy

Marble blocks are prepared for shipment to the workshop for research and treatment.
On the right can be seen saws sawn pieces of rock.

Basically, mining osuschestvyaletsya sludeyuschim way: the top layer of rock that is not suitable for production, is removed.
Methods for removing different - used in the foundations of directed explosions.
Next is a series of "gashes" deep into the rock, and then start up a special airbag, which is inflated naichnayut.
As a result, a piece of rock is separated from the main body and falls down.

The airbag inflates, stove falls

After that, the rock sawing into blocks and BelAZ taken away for examination, kotoarya determine the amount suitable for processing a stone brought by block.

during cutting. With the well-known "saw cut" has nothing in common

Handling unit at BelAZ.

General view of the quarry on the other side.
In the background - piles of blocks that are not suitable for processing.

Quite in the background - Career Colleges-South.
Career is all jumbled up on.
Blocks further examined, and if it is suitable for obrabokt transmit to the shop.

Generally, the stone do different things in this psto focus on the elements of decor, plates, etc (intentionally omit marble chips and dust, is widely used in construction - there is less interested in everything going on)
A general view of one processing plant.

Work hard, constant dampness (marble sawing with a very large amount of water), marble dust. And physical activity is very high. Summers are hot, winters are cold - everything is traditional. Stone way vssegda mainly cold - winter is an extra minus.
Without a respirator in the shop to do almost nothing.

During board production.

During processing, the slab is cut into layers of the required thickness, is polished repeatedly, if necessary, chamfer, etc.

Ready-made plates are packed in wooden crates. Drawer provides separate Containerboard shop.

Used machines of different brands and manufacturers, mainly - foreign.
In this photo - Simec.

This photo machine brand Axia wildly zapilivaem saws slab

Scrollsaw cross.
There are machines operated in "manual" mode, the other must first write the appropriate program, for which there are special people.
That's their department I, then a ninth-grader, worked as the administrator.

Withheld, and a couple of pictures otnosietlno marble chips and dust.
In some shops are special mill that crushed stone on the crumb of various fractions.
In the same way and produce the marble dust.

Finished products are poured into bags of various sizes (mainly dust), marble chips is taken to the machines.

what makes our master. It is with a capital letter.
All the products can not be described, it is clear: it is too much.
Continue until only a photo. also used for the treatment of granite and serpentine.
