Key
elements to consider when choosing the crusher bucket as a primary crushing
plant
Quarries put a strain on
the machinery fleet traditionally used on construction sites. What is needed is
machinery that is reliable, durable, easy to maintain, safe, and provides high
productivity to cope with the hectic pace of the mining industry.
So
what are the key elements that made customers choose an MB jaw crusher as their
primary crusher in the quarry?
Profitability
In Egypt, a customer had
accumulated a large amount of unused basalt in his quarry. However, storing
these huge piles of material was costly, so he installed an MB Crusher BF120.4
jaw crusher on his Doosan 340 excavator, to process the rocks directly in the
quarry and reuse them on site for internal road maintenance work.
Before using the MB Crusher
he had two choices: either take the material to another quarry where there was
a large crusher plant or bring a mobile crushing plant to the quarry. Two
solutions that would still have proved pricey. Just as expensive as stockpiling
the material.
Versatility
Let’s continue to explore
quarries around the world, one customer in Italy uses an MB jaw crusher as a
primary crusher to reduce extracted talc, for concrete production. In addition,
the crusher bucket is also used to process aggregates for the concrete needed
for underground mining. By installing a BF135.8 crusher bucket on a Cat 365
excavator already in the quarry, the process became more efficient: in fact,
the excavator easily crushes the material in different areas of the quarry,
without needing to haul more equipment or material to and from the site. A very
profitable operation.
Saving time is crucial to
cutting costs, and MB Crusher buckets can easily streamline the job. Suffice it
to say that installing the equipment and adjusting the jaws to change the
output size takes less than half an hour, eliminating the need to take the
machine to a specialized shop.
Flexibility
and quality
A concrete example is given
by an Indian customer working with basalt. By installing the BF90.3 crusher
bucket on a Komatsu PC200 excavator, the customer was able, by setting the size
of the output material to his customers' requirements, to achieve an excellent
quality end product, resulting in an increase in demand of their material.
MB Crusher buckets are true
portable jaw crushers that work off the hydraulic system of the heavy machine
on which they are installed. They are reliable, with a robust structure,
characterized by ease of maintenance and safe operation. They represent the
ideal tool for any quarry. Their extreme flexibility ensures efficient
operations, and in addition, thanks to being installed on heavy equipment, they
do not require specialized transportation. An extremely easy solution!
Especially when you take into consideration that to install a new crusher or replace a stationary plant, various factors must be considered, such as the desired production volume, the estimated number of machines, the installation phase, all maintenance costs, and all processing stages. However, the choice should be primarily based on efficiency and profitability. And we have already suggested an option for you....
