Technical Parameters: Brown Pebbles for Landscaping

Manufacturing Process of Brown Pebbles for Landscaping: Step-by-Step Visual Guide

Manufacturing process flow: quarrying → pre-cleaning → grading → tumbling → surface polish → particle size inspection → packaging (ISO 9001 flow control).

1. Raw Material Sourcing: High-density natural stone blocks are extracted from certified eco-quarries (ISO 14001 certified for sustainability).
2. Initial Cleaning & Grading: Stones pre-washed to remove clay/impurities. Automated sieving sorts by size per ISO 14688-1 standards.
3. Mechanical Tumbling: Stones enter large rotary drums with abrasives for 4-8 hours, smoothing edges without chemical agents. The surface achieves Ra <0.4 μm as per DIN 4768.
4. Surface Treatment: Depending on requirements:
   • Natural finish (no further processing)
   • Chemical polish (for glossy finish)
   • Synthetic pigmentation (for custom colored pebbles, only eco-compounds allowed under EU REACH/US EPA compliance)
5. Quality Inspection: In-process checks using digital calipers and color photometers; every batch tested for compressive strength (ISO 604), water absorption (ASTM C97), and color fastness (ISO 105-B02).
6. Packaging & Traceability: Bulk packaging in woven PP bags, each with unique batch code for end-to-end traceability; full compliance with ISO 9001:2015.

Application Scenarios & Technical Advantages

Brown pebbles for landscaping excel in various applications across the civil, industrial, and environmental engineering sectors:

• Garden Pathways & Borders: Natural friction and rounded edges make for slip-resistant, visually appealing walkways (meets ASTM F1677–05 for slip resistance).
• Municipal Green Spaces: Used in parks, medians, traffic islands; provide instant surface stabilization, erosion control, and reduced urban heat (SR index ≥ 0.60).
• Water Features & Ponds: Non-toxic, pH-neutral; suitable for aquascaping and biofiltration applications (complies with EN 13432 non-leachability).
• Construction & Drainage: Used as aggregate base for permeable paving, French drains, and roof gardens (reference: NPRB-2021 Technical Bulletin).
• Industrial Use: Surface decoration in commercial plazas and as filtration media in water treatment (chemical inertness certified).
