R Collard's new crushing line increases its capacity by 200%

The state-of-the-art plant will allow the Hampshire, south-east England-based company to produce 250 tonnes of high-grade recycled aggregates an hour, increasing its current capacity by over 200%.

With an investment of £2 million, the plant manufactured by Duo is bespoke to R Collard, built to the firm's own specification and design.

The size of aggregates that will be produced by the new plant include-5mm, +5-20mm, +10-20mm, +20mm, and +40mm.

The new plant will only allow R Collard to increase its production of recycled aggregates already produced by the company's wash plant. It will also feed its concrete plant in the production of its ready-mix concrete.
