B6 The Acton Free Press Wednesday Aug 31 1977 Limestone boulders just small part of Indusmins trade INDUSMIN ROCKS ON THEIR WAY TO Bruce peninsula where they will be used a breakwater at the nuclear power station there The boulders seen wending their way carefully through town on flat bed trucks are just one part of the business done by Indusmln Quarries Located at the southeast corner of Acton the quarry produces about types and sizes of rock which can be mixed to Ministry of Trans port and Communication specifications to create over different blends sold for different purposes Rocks produced ranged from the boulders weighing in at up to 15 Ions each down to limestone powder like that being used between the lock stones In the new red side walks being laid here Construction is the major use for Indusmln products with limestone playing an Important role in every part of the process The limestone is part of the concrete used it is used under roads under driveways and basements in asphalt and in concrete blocks Process Getting he rock Is a complex process Involving a maze of conveyor belts crushers and huge mountains of gravel is first stripped to the level of the bedrock by scrapers The land removed is used other sections of the quarry to areas being graded and replanted to restore the land to lis original state Holes are drilled into the rock ten Inches across and sixty feet deep These are filled with two dry explosives called and These arc electrically started and This rock win last only three or four days of production when another blast will be needed The rock now at the bottom of the cliff is taken to a pri crusher and sorter which starts the rock on its way to being a finished pro duct The rocks are dumped into a spinning crusher with an opening at the bottom From here they move the under ground conveyors which take them to various mountains of grovel depending on their size Each of these mountains sits on top of another crusher and more conveyor belts Loading In the end rocks are con to the loading tower where they are loaded into trucks and railroad cars for shipping Most customers are in the Toronto and Hamilton areas although some Indusmln rocks find their way further afield The large boulders for instance are being used at the Bruce Peninsula for a breakwater at the hydro station there j cars Even at this fantastic rate of production around 10 tons a day there Is enough rock left in the acres owned by Indusmin to last years The quarry has been in older pro- operation 1962 when It lopes was known as Acton taken CARPET CORNER 11 MAIN ST
