McLanahan Corporation has announced a partnership with Cemex to outfit its project in West London.
Under the agreement, McLanahan will supply an UltraWASH 5165-31S and an UltraCRUSH CC90 Cone Crusher system, which will enable Cemex to process natural sand and gravel at the West London site.
McLanahan’s team of process engineers and design engineers worked closely with Cemex to design the best solution for the needs of the project. The UltraWASH and UltraCRUSH will work together to allow the plant to produce two sizes of aggregate and one concrete sand.
The McLanahan UltraWASH consists of a feeder, sizing screen, pumps, hydrocyclones, dewatering screens, and product conveyors. The UltraCRUSH Cone Crusher is designed with a modular structure that allows for quick installation and start-up while still producing the necessary spec size for the project.
“We are delighted to provide a solution to one of the largest aggregate producers in the UK Cemex operates 22 quarries in this region and this is the first plant supplied by McLanahan for their operations here,” McLanahan director of sales for the UK and Ireland Donal McNicholl said.
“We are proud to be continuing to form strong relationships in the UK with companies like Cemex, and we look forward to seeing where this partnership can take both companies.”

The raw feed material will be introduced into the McLanahan systems by land conveyor to a variable speed belt feed hopper. The primary rinsing screen separates the feed into 10mm and 20mm aggregate, while everything greater than 20mm is conveyed to the UltraCRUSH to be sized and recirculated back into the system.
The -4mm sand and water from the process will be sent to a sump before being pumped to Hydrocyclones, which classify the sand to meet required specifications by separating out any fine sand and silt.
The product sized sand then discharges from the Hydrocyclones onto a Dewatering Screen to remove excess moisture before stockpiling.
“Working with McLanahan, to install the new plant equipment at our Shepperton quarry in West London, will allow us to continue to produce essential building materials to support the demand for local building and infrastructure improvements across the area,” Cemex head of aggregate operations UK Kevin Cage said.
“The team at McLanahan were receptive to the specific requirements of the site and we were delighted with their flexibility in meeting our needs.”
