Abstract

India is one of the leading country in mining of granite and rich in granite reserves. Indian stone become the most sought after and extendedly used stone materials in building construction and massive structural works throughout the world and it is well known in international market not only for its elegance and aesthetic quality but also for its durability. Because of huge demand for granite many granite processing industries are developed all over India in last few years. This includes the highly programmed automated equipment and machineries. So the granite industry has received a wider publicity and corporate importance in the last few years and India is one of the leading nations in the production. As the demand for the granite is more the factories are aim to produce maximum production out of the machinery but the problem which some of the granite factories are facing is they lagging in production, they not able to produce the estimated production out of the machine. This work is carried out mainly to study the factors which affect the production rate and taking the corrective action in order to produce estimated production. The optimization is done by general inspection method and vibration analysis.
