Equipment
Commencing with extraction, Ablatio employs a 2.8m diamond blade saw to cross-cut the sandstone and a diamond wire saw to undercut the blocks. They are then removed by another excavator where the blocks are graded by colour and quality. The blocks are further processed at the quarry or sold by the m3 to overseas processing operations. Blocks processed on site are processed by two computer controlled Pellegrini diamond wire saws.
The off-cuts from the profiling and broken stone are turned into landscape product as tumbled pebbles, split block/garden edging and random paving.
As in most quarry operations, Ablatio employs bobcats (skid loader) and a 5m3 loader that can be fitted with forks. The loader is also fitted with scales so that, when loading trucks, the weight is calculated accurately, ensuring that the truck is never overloaded and the customer is invoiced accurately for what is received. |

Ablatio employs the latest technology in
sandstone extraction and sandstone processing.
Allow your imagination
to work overtime on
design and shapes. If we can draw the design on screen, the
saw can cut the design. The shape is then further defined
with
the finishing touch
by our experienced and qualified Banker Masons. Not all shapes require
the attention
of the masons as the profile cut by the saw is all that is required
in some instances.
Ablatio also processes landscape
product using our blade saw, hydrosplit and trommell. The
hydrosplit is a hydraulic operated guillotine for splitting stone
and the trommell is a tumbler
that tumbles the
sandstone pebbles, while washing and grading the pebbles
into consistent sizing.
