Crusher Plant Operations

You need crushed stone at the road head. Not a crusher, not a plant manager, not a spares inventory. We bring all three and hand you material.

  • 6 plants, all owned
  • Erected and commissioned by us
  • Our operators, not agency labour
  • Wear parts are our cost

Most contractors do not want to own a crusher.

They want stone at the road head, at a rate per tonne, with somebody else responsible when a cone liner goes at two in the morning. Owning the plant means capital, a lease, statutory clearances, an operator you have to keep on the books between projects, and a machine that goes idle the day the road is finished.

So we do it instead. We move one of our six plants onto your site, erect it, staff it, feed it and maintain it. You get material and a weighbridge slip. We carry the plant, the spares, the crew and the downtime.

What you get

What we bring to the site

01

Six plants, and they are ours

Not hired, not on lease from somebody else. Which matters when a plant is committed to your project: it does not get pulled off to a site that shouts louder.

02

Erection and commissioning included

Foundation, structure, electricals, belts and commissioning. About two weeks from the machines landing on site to material coming off the last belt, on a site with decent access.

03

Our own operators

Plant operator, jaw and cone attendants, electrician, fitter. People who have run these specific plants before, not labour hired at the district headquarters the week production starts.

04

Wear parts sit on our side of the line

Jaw plates, cone liners, screen mesh, belts, bearings. Stocked at the plant, so a wear failure costs hours instead of the three weeks it takes to get a liner shipped in.

05

Weighbridge on site

Every dispatch weighed and slipped. Ten calibrated weighbridges across our operations, because billing arguments cost more than the weighbridge does.

06

Output you can plan against

Up to 120,000 MT a month across the fleet. A single 250 TPH three-stage plant will hold 25,000 to 30,000 MT a month on a normal two-shift pattern.

Order of work

How a job actually runs

  1. 01

    Site visit

    We walk the site, look at the source rock, the access road and where the plant can stand. This is also when we find out what the real lead distance to the road head is.

  2. 02

    Plant selection

    Which of the six plants suits the rock and the grading. Hard basalt and soft sandstone want different settings and different wear parts.

  3. 03

    Move and erect

    Plant broken down, trailered to site, foundations cast, structure raised, electricals run. Roughly two weeks.

  4. 04

    Commissioning

    Trial run, screen decks set to the contract grading, samples pulled and tested before anything is invoiced.

  5. 05

    Production

    Two shifts as standard, three where the programme demands it. Daily output and dispatch reported against your requirement.

  6. 06

    Demobilisation

    Plant stripped, site cleared and handed back. We take our machinery away with us, which is not universal in this trade.

Straight answers

Crusher plants questions

01What does a plant on our site actually cost us?

We quote per tonne of finished material, against the grading and the monthly volume you need. Erection, operators, maintenance and wear parts sit inside that rate. What sits outside it (power or genset diesel, royalty, transit passes) depends on whose lease the rock comes off, so it gets worked out on the call rather than guessed here.

02How long from order to steady production?

About a month on a site with reasonable access. Two weeks to move the plant and machines, two weeks to erect and commission. Difficult access, a monsoon start or a lease that is not yet cleared will push it out, and we will say so before you sign rather than after.

03Can you run a plant we already own?

Yes. If you have a plant sitting idle between projects, or one that is not holding the output it should, ask us about operating it. Same crews and the same maintenance discipline, on your asset.

04What happens when the plant breaks down?

Wear parts are stocked at the plant, and our fitter and electrician are on site rather than on call from another district. Most stoppages are a shift. A structural or major mechanical failure is our cost and our problem to solve, which is the whole point of the arrangement.
