Fassa has acquired over twenty years of experience in operating limestone quarries, managing several different types of activities. Underground crushing best represents the company's ongoing commitment to rational exploitation of mineral deposits with a limited impact on the surrounding environment. In this case, the vertical height between quarry face and storage area is joined by a kiln located centrally in relation to the extraction operations. A tunnel then connects the crushing chamber to the outside, where the limestone is transported on conveyor belts for further crushing, screening and finished product storage.Currently, the limestone quarries operated and managed directly by Fassa are located in Cuneo, Lecco, Brescia, Lucca and Pescara provinces. The extracted material, following a process of crushing and subsequent screening, is mainly used for the production of premixed plasters, lime and other building products.
