Crusher Screen Sales & Hire (CSSH) and IMS are designing solutions that make quarry operators’ lives easier.
Crusher Screen Sales & Hire (CSSH) is developing solutions to solve the common pain points of Australian quarry and aggregate producers.
“It is not unusual when a construction site project has problems for all parties involved to try to distance themself from potential claims, so the more accurate the product is to specification with supporting documentation, the better,” CSSH manager John Andersen said.
“Construction companies will generally gravitate to product supplies with proven records, reducing potential problems for them, and the blender does offer a lot more confidence than watching a quarry bucket mix.”
With this in mind, CSSH has worked with IMS on the IMS-BP1200-48TB blender, which provides these producers with a versatile solution.
The IMS-BP1200-48TB blender features four feed hoppers, each five meters long and capable of holding 12m³. The centre wall can be removed to create two 24-meter-long hoppers. Each feed hopper has separate conveyor belts, all fitted with belt scales, variable speed controls, and adjustable flow gates at the front. The BP1200-48TB can also feed directly into the IMS modular electric pugmill, allowing for the addition of powders and liquids.
“IMS offers a variety of mobile track and modular pugmills and blenders, available in diesel-hydraulic, dual power, and electric options,” Andersen said.
“IMS and Crusher Screen Sales have been working together for some years, designing plants for the Australian conditions and the changing requirements of blending quarry and construction products to meet the tighter specifications in the quarry industry with increased accuracy and reporting systems to support the sale of their products there for reducing prevention claims downstream.”
The blender operates using a Cat C7 generator, which can be connected to mains power and allows for production of up to 1000 tonnes per hour. This fully automated blender includes a PLC control and recording system that can connect to an iPad in a loader and link directly to an office through its own Wi-Fi system. The PLC control and recording system manages the entire plant; if one product does not meet the programmed percentage, the entire plant will stop.
“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 both safety and ease of maintenance,” Andersen said.
Andersen stated that the company plans to keep innovating across its products to support key Australian sectors like quarrying.
“Our production process involves significant investment of time and money in automating the IMS pugmills and blenders, continuously enhancing the product to maintain its position as a market leader field,” he said.
“Producing materials that meet the required specifications is crucial for quarries in terms of quality and compliance.
“That’s where we step in. We guide customers to the appropriate equipment based on their needs, ensuring they get the best tools for their requirements success.”
CSSH and IMS are committed to delivering solutions to the Australian quarrying and aggregates sectors with a range of solutions for producers.
“These are just a few of the options developed and maintained in Australia, providing the flexibility to adapt functions to meet whatever challenges the industry presents customers,” he said. •
