Hello I am victor pastor and we are on my blog all about marble
Today we'll talk about the quarries, especially Macael White quarries
in the Filabres mountain, Almeria, Spain, we'll see images of quarries since the 40's to 70's and how it is the work today
Ancient quarries, 60's and 70's quarries
This is a pulley, it was used to remove the marble and pieces already cut from the marble bank
This crew is working the marble with tools used at that time
This is another gang in a break time, they are in front of a big block of marble
There is another worker with a hammer which was used to cut manually the stones
Workers with a truck that was used to remove stones
These are the first shovel machines that were used to remove the debris
This is another gang over an old shovel machine and a truck
60's truck coming down with a marble block from the quarries
This is another shovel machine in the 70s
These are donkeys that were used to carry the food to the workers
These are oxen that were used to come down the marble from the quarries
and workers used these animals because they were very strong
These are machines used today This is a dump truck and a backhoe
This is a backhoe machine which is able to pick up blocks 20000-30000 kilos
This is a worker cutting a block with diamond disks A dump truck
Formerly, in the quarries were used gangs of 20-60 workers, because they worked manually
Today in quarries there are two to six workers, but there is also a great team of heavy machinery
As blades, bump track, backhoe, drillers It is also used explosives to remove the stones and sand that are over the marble mountains
Now we will see images of explosions in quarries
Now I say goodbye and the next day we will see how to get a block of marble to the factory
and how it leaves the factory finished with various types of processing
Thank you very much
