Crusher Screen Sales & Hire (CSSH) has introduced a new BP1200-48TB track blender into the Australian market.
Crusher Screen Sales & Hire (CSSH) has worked alongside Irish Manufacturing (IMS) to ensure the BP1200-48TB track blender is suited for Australian operations.
The blender has four 5m feed hoppers, all holding 12 cubic metres each, and is capable of operating in conjunction with pugmills. It can also add a small percentage of alternative materials for the likes of road base.
CSSH manager John Andersen said it helps to maximise quality and accuracy for blends, making it easier to satisfy road construction requirements outlined for the development of road base.
“Some quarries have difficulty meeting road base standards without blending fines into the product,” Andersen said.
“There is also increased use in the industry of blending recycled products into virgin quarry products in order to reduce the amount of raw material being used, reduce the amount of waste being taken to landfill and reduce the amount of transport movements on the road.”
A Cat C7 Generator powers the new tracked blender. This generator can be connected to mains power, allowing operators to operate the blender while also achieving a lower cost of operation.
It also features an Australian-designed programmable logic controller (PLC) and recording system, which includes a full reporting program. This program shows the percentages of each product used, along with a supporting graph for each batch and will auto-stop if the blend is not making the programmed percentages.
Andersen said CSSH and IMS would continue to develop products which would be suited to the Australian market.
“These machines also offer great serviceability, and the improved PLC control and recording system that can be monitored from an office and our service department increases safety and ease of maintenance,” Andersen said.
“Both CSSH and IMS have worked together to create pugmills and blenders suitable for Australian conditions, as well as the changing requirements for blended material in the quarry, construction and mining industry.
“There are just some of the options developed and maintained in Australia, offering the ability to change the functions for whatever the industry throws at our customers.”
CSSH is based in Yatala, Queensland, but the company has the capabilities to service customers and projects across Australia.
The company takes a customer-centric approach to its business as it supports customers in key industrial sectors in accessing the equipment they need for their applications.
Quarrying is not an easy business. With changing regulations and legislations, it is important that an equipment supplier is in tune with its customers to ensure production remains on track.
To this end, CSSH invests its own money in ensuring its equipment is regarded as one of the market leaders.
Andersen said the company has plans to continue to innovate across its product portfolio. This will enable CSSH to continue to support customers in several key Australian sectors, including quarrying.
“Through our own production process, we spend a lot of time and money automating the IMS pugmills and blenders, improving the product to ensure it remains a market leader in this field,” he said.
“When it comes to producing material, it is incredibly important for quarries to produce materials which meet the required specification.
“That’s where we come in. We can direct customers to the right equipment for their needs, giving them the best tools for success.” •
