Summary
Stone crusher operators operate crushing machines at quarries or crushing plants to crush raw stones and produce crushed stones for construction.
Description
Stone crusher operators operate crushing machines (crushers, roller crushers, hammer crushers, etc.) at quarries or crushing plants to crush raw stones and produce crushed stones for construction. They perform pre-operation inspections and maintenance of crushers, monitor loads during operation, sieve and re-crush for particle size control, confirm product quality, and provide initial response to machine failures. They also manage site safety, coordinate with truck loading operations, and perform regular machine maintenance and cleaning. Dust control measures, noise prevention, and proper use of safety devices are required, and balancing work efficiency and product quality is a challenge.
Future Outlook
Demand continues steadily due to stable infrastructure development and construction needs. In recent years, automation and remote operation technologies have been introduced, so in addition to machine operation skills, knowledge of remote monitoring and IoT utilization will be required in the future.
