• The Lintec CDP5001M Continuous Asphalt Mixing
Plant is a highly flexible and mobile unit which allows KEE Surfacing to get
maximum utilisation.
• The plant was immediately dispatched to grain
storage and handling upgrades for Australia’s largest co-operative, CBH Group.
Lintec
& Linnhoff is continuing its global expansion with the
sale of its first Lintec Asphalt Mixing Plant in Australia. The Lintec CDP5001M
Continuous Asphalt Mixing Plant has already completed its first project and has
moved on to its next task, fully utilising the benefits of the built-in chassis
facilitating fast remobilisation.
Acquired by KEE Surfacing,
the Lintec CDP5001M was immediately sent to support upgrade work at CBH Group’s
Latham grain receival site in Western Australia. Alongside pavement and
earthworks construction, KEE Surfacing’s main task involved the conversion of a
temporary gravel bulkhead into a permanent 52,400 tonne asphalt open bulkhead.
Boosting storage by almost 10,000 tonnes, the Lintec CDP5001M has helped reduce
the distance farmers need to travel to deliver their harvest, as well as
supported a project to enhance site safety and improve loading and unloading
time.
After finishing the job for
CBH Group, the mobile plant was then driven 80 km northwest to supply hot-mix
asphalt for similar work at the CBH Morawa grain receival site. With two new
open bulkheads, this increases total storage capacity by 78,350 tonnes.
“These are just the first
of what we expect will be many successful regional projects across Western
Australia for our Lintec CDP5001M, thanks to its compact design and easy
mobilisation from one site to another,” says Anthony Serpo, Production Manager,
KEE Surfacing. “Our new mobile plant has landed us firmly in the asphalt domain
in Western Australia, allowing us to better meet the needs of current and
future clients.”
No
messing about
Particularly ideal for
short-term projects, the Lintec CDP Continuous Asphalt Mixing Plant has been
conceptualised for fast, easy setup and dismantling. With no need for concrete
foundations, they can be quickly reassembled on compacted ground after arriving
on site.
Lintec CDP plants can also
be customised to fit the user’s precise needs. For KEE Surfacing’s CDP5001M,
the company asked for a couple of adjustments to further improve setup and
decommissioning time in line with local requirements.
The Lintec CDP5001M, one of
Lintec’s six-model mobile continuous asphalt plant range, offers an impressive
30-50 tph output. For the Latham project, this equated to a daily average of
450 tonnes which ensured the project was completed on schedule. This was despite
the rain delays that are an inevitable part of the Western Australian winter.
Consistency of the asphalt
was assured using the latest software, including remote access technology, to
precisely control the operation of the twin-shaft mixer. Manufactured from
highly durable alloy, wear and tear is greatly reduced, ensuring the Lintec
CDP5001M enjoys maximum uptime.
“KEE Surfacing has built a deservedly strong reputation across Western Australia and we’re delighted they have opted for their first Lintec Continuous Asphalt Mixing Plant,” said Alan Ong, General Manager (Sales), Lintec & Linnhoff. “KEE Surfacing has worked on just about every major road project in Western Australia, including the largest in the state’s history. The company is not prepared to accept second-best, which is why they have opted for the quality, performance, and user-friendliness of the Lintec CDP5001M.”
