Elite Maintenance Solutions deployed an optimised mobile crushing solution from Tutt Bryant Equipment to deliver its latest contract.
Elite Maintenance Solutions faced a conundrum. It was involved in a project that required the production of a seepage filter sand, but the specification envelope was especially tight.
With that in mind, the Western Australian-based contractor turned to Metso’s Australian distributor, Tutt Bryant Equipment, to put together a tailored solution for this project.
The two companies developed a completely mobile circuit that utilised advanced simulation and real-time monitoring to deliver precise operation and increase productivity.
Tutt Bryant Equipment’s crushing and screening area manager Mark Reeves worked with Elite Maintenance Solutions to model and simulate the circuit’s performance using Metso’s process simulation software, known as Bruno. The Bruno platform enabled everyone to test the mobile circuit virtually in multiple situations before operating on the jobsite. This meant the equipment configurations could be optimised, including closed side settings and material flows, to meet the specifications set out within the precise specification envelope. This had flow-on benefits, as commissioning time and trial-and-error operations were reduced, while the contractor could work with the confidence that the contract requirements would be met consistently.
“I had heard about Metso’s Bruno software before, but I never realised the depth, detail, and accuracy it provided,” Elite Maintenance Solutions director Reece Bacon said.
“What impressed me most was how closely the simulated results matched the actual outcomes we achieved on site after applying the recommended changes.”
Trusted equipment
Tutt Bryant Equipment has a well-earned reputation as a leading supplier of construction, earthmoving, and crushing and screening equipment across Australia.
The award-winning distributor is the exclusive Metso equipment dealer nationally and supports its offering by employing local service technicians and providing genuine spare and wear parts.
This meant that Elite Maintenance Solutions was able to be supplied with a new fleet of Metso Lokotrack mobile crushers and screens. The delivery included a Lokotrack LT106 mobile jaw crusher, a Lokotrack ST4.10 mobile screen, and two Lokotrack LT300HP Mobile Cone Crushers.
The Lokotrack LT106 mobile jaw crusher can handle high-capacity primary crushing, while the Lokotrack ST4.10 provides efficient screening across multiple products.
The two Lokotrack LT300HP mobile cone crushers are configured for secondary and tertiary crushing and ensure Elite Maintenance Solutions can produce high-quality aggregates.
Reeves said the circuit provided a versatile solution that could be applied across various mining and quarrying applications for the WA-based contractor.
“Having the right equipment is only half the solution,” he said.
The ability to simulate the process, monitor real-time performance, and access local service support ensures contractors like Elite can perform at their best.”
Elite Maintenance Solutions and Tutt Bryant Equipment have been able to monitor its operational performance in real-time through Metso Metrics. The contractor has been able to use this data to make informed decisions and refine the performance of the two closed circuits, resulting in reduced downtime and increased efficiency. Between the Bruno simulation analysis and real-time performance monitoring, operators can understand both theoretical design and real-world performance.
This package from Tutt Bryant Equipment enabled Elite Maintenance Solutions to meet the project’s requirements and satisfy the most stringent specifications.
Future ambitions
Elite Maintenance Solutions has forged a reputation as a reliable crushing and screening contractor across quarrying and civil construction sectors in Western Australia. Its team, which includes experienced operators and maintenance crews, works to ensure its projects are delivered safely and with maximum up-time. Bacon said the new Lokotrack package from Tutt Bryant Equipment points to the future of mobile crushing and screening in Australia.
“This project showed us what’s possible when you combine the right machines with the right support and technology,” he said.
“It’s given us confidence to take on even more demanding applications.” •
