ToThink Equipment is supplying vital screens and overcoming challenging environments for Australian sand plants.
Protection of wet application sand and gravel screens goes above and beyond that of a typical aggregate screen with surface coatings such as rubber lining, galvanising and polyurethane screen media.
This is due to the abrasive nature of the material and, often, mineralised water used in the washing process.
Neilsens Brendale had a requirement to replace one of its vibrating screens that had reached the end of its service life. The corrosive environment had shortened the projected life of the screen, especially compared to a screen in a dry application. Darren Toth, director of ToThink Equipment, was approached to find a solution.
“ToThink Equipment was approached on a recommendation to the client as a reliable equipment supplier to provide a replacement machine,” he told Quarry.
“The site needed a new vibrating screen that could handle between 220 to 240 tonnes per hour of infeed material.”
ToThink made slight changes to their existing 16 by 6-foot screen design to match the specifications of the client. Client requested options included: increased clearance between each deck, a modular polyurethane screen media system on the bottom deck, rubber lined deck frames and cross-tube in addition to galvanising of major structural components. Design changes and assembly of the screen were carried out at ToThink’s workshop in Knoxfield, Victoria.
“They’re rapt with it – they like the look and finish of the screen and they are pleased with its heavy-duty performance,” Toth said.
“I’ve vibration tested thousands of screens at this point, and it’s one of the most consistently running screens I’ve ever seen.”

Over the past eight years, ToThink has transitioned from an organisation focused on optimising existing machines to being a local supplier of screens and feeders built to their own designs. ToThink prides itself in having a broad range of screens and feeders for almost any application. Its range includes incline screens, linear motion screens, horizontal screens, dewatering screens, and vibrating grizzly screens.
In addition to local assembly and design, the company also provides spare parts and technical backup for its customers.
Toth said the company’s aim is to provide the best value possible.
Toth will also be attending the 2024 IQA National Conference to connect with key decision makers in the industry. Attendees will be able to speak to Toth and his team about the company’s growth and can learn more about ToThink’s capacity to design and deliver quarrying equipment.
“I’m also interested in learning more about the South Australian market and looking forward to seeing people face to face at the conference,” he said. •
