ADVENTURE FROM NATURAL STONE TO THE LANDSCAPING STONE

  Various coloured stones that are used in landscaping

 

Various coloured stones that are used in landscaping are quarried from our country’s  quarries that are located in various locations by mining methods. The landscaping stones in block or rock form are going in  pre-crushing process then send to our factory by holding harmless.

                                     LANDSCAPING STONES PRODUCTION

Very large land is needed. The natural stones that are quarrying from  18 different quarries working with Pietra Kaikos are stored in bulk. Natural stones that will be used in landscaping are choised from bulk materials by Pietra Kaikos stone masters then being processed according to the required product. Products are selected on rock form in accordance to sizes then washed under high pressure and send to the customers in big bags, metal cages or loose(bulk) in the container depending on customer’s packing choice.

Before loading, checking the stones according to the colour and dimension is crucial.

Tumbled materials are rolled in different methods according to the final product by selecting from stock heaps. The materials bigger than 100 mm are subject to the handling by hand-workmanship after  tumbling process. The reason of this process is  landscaping stones are not subject to cutting and checking its colours.

Natural stone products that are subject to the handling by Pietra Kaikos workers are put into big bags or metal cages after tumbling process according to customer’s demand then despatch.

Big Bags and metal cages can contain till 1325 kgs of materials in net even some special products may contain lighter due to its light volume depending on natural structure of the stone like Lava Rock.

The products smaller than 100 mm are passing through the sievers in the way of reducing the cracks then sizing.

In addition to above mentioned packing types, small sized products can be put into 20-25 kgs of transpatent bags. Our PP bags in 36 micron thickness and UV degree is 2%, sprocketed (perforated). According to European standards, the pallets are in 1,10 mx1,10 m around 2 cms thickness and fumigated in accordance to the European and USA standards. 20-25 kgs of bags can be put on pallets or into the wooden crates.
