Crushing Static & Mobile

Although the new SR410 screen from Anaconda has been designed to satisfy the needs of customers specifically in the sand and gravel, aggregate and coal industries, it can be used in a wide variety of other applications. In June 2010, Anaconda launched the DF410, a compact scalping screen that "has proved a tremendous success" for the company. The SR410 is a more conventional screener, commonly found in applications where fine screening of materials is required.

Many machine manufacturers have selected Las Vegas’ Conexpo-Conn/Agg exhibition as the location to debut their latest innovations. While Samoter is the main focus for European launches in March this year, international attention will be firmly focused on Las Vegas in the US.

Mobile screen technology is helping to cut costs on site but there is still a market for stationary solutions. Claire Symes reports. While aggregate demand from large population centres still calls for a static screens' capacity, on site screening using mobile equipment is helping to reduce costs on some construction projects. Last year ABE reported on the use of mobile equipment by Eren In?aat in Eastern Turkey to turn blasted material into aggregates as construction on the canal project progressed. This i

Investment in crushing and screening equipment is helping to progress work on a new highway development in Oman. Road improvements currently underway in Oman promise to strengthen the road network and reduce journey times significantly when completed later this year. The new 32km Salalah Bypass will divert traffic away from the city centre to meet existing and future traffic growth.

Germany is the focus for new quarrying technology as equipment manufacturers and buyers gather at MHI's Nieder-Ofleiden basalt quarry for the 2011 edition of Steinexpo. While MHI is working to maintain aggregate production, it is also preparing its Nieder-Ofleiden quarry for the arrival of thousands of visitors for 8th running of Steinexpo which starts on 31 August. The date is also a key one for many construction equipment manufacturers as the start of the show will see the unveiling of many innovations an

Crushing operations in quarries have gradually become more mechanised and ABE takes a look at the development of crushing technology. Crushing and screening in quarries used to rely on manpower to reduce and sort aggregates but introduction of steam-powered, and then diesel-driven, equipment has helped change that. The evolution has not only improved safety but has also significantly improved productivity, efficiency and quality.

Whole life operation costs and on-going productivity are becoming a higher priority for some quarry operators than the original capital investment in a bid to produce quality aggregates at a fixed cost per tonne. These factors were the main drivers behind UK-based quarry operator Pinden's recent investment in a Kleemann Mobicat MC 110Z track-mounted single toggle jaw crusher
