Quarries exert significant pressure on the conventional machinery typically employed at construction sites. The demand is for machinery that offers reliability, durability, easy maintenance, safety and high productivity to meet the fast-paced requirements of the mining industry.
What factors lead customers to select an MB jaw crusher as their primary crusher in the quarry?
PROFITABILITY
In Egypt, a customer faced the challenge of an extensive accumulation of unused basalt in the quarry. Storing such massive amounts of material incurred significant costs. To address this, the customer installed an MB Crusher BF120.4 jaw crusher on a Doosan 340 excavator. This allowed the processing of rocks directly in the quarry, enabling reuse on-site for internal road maintenance. Before adopting the MB Crusher, the alternatives—transporting the material to another quarry with a large crusher plant or bringing a mobile crushing plant to the quarry—were both expensive solutions, comparable to the cost of stockpiling the material.
VERSATILITY
Exploring quarries globally, an Italian customer utilizes an MB jaw crusher as a primary crusher to reduce extracted talc for concrete production. Additionally, the crusher bucket processes aggregates for concrete needed in underground mining. Installing a BF135.8 crusher bucket on a Cat 365 excavator in the quarry streamlined the process, as the excavator efficiently crushed material in different areas without the need for additional equipment or material transportation. This operational efficiency translated into a profitable venture.
TIME AND COST SAVINGS
Time efficiency is crucial for cost reduction, and MB Crusher buckets facilitate streamlined operations. Installing the equipment and adjusting the jaws to change the output size takes less than half an hour, eliminating the need for specialized shop visits. This time-saving feature contributes significantly to overall cost reduction.
FLEXIBILITY AND QUALITY
An Indian customer working with basalt achieved excellent quality end products by installing the BF90.3 crusher bucket on a Komatsu PC200 excavator. Adjusting the output material size to meet customer requirements increased demand for their material.
MB Crusher buckets, functioning as true portable jaw crushers, operate off the hydraulic system of the heavy machine they are installed on. Their reliability, robust structure, ease of maintenance, and safe operation make them the ideal tool for any quarry. The extreme flexibility of these buckets ensures efficient operations, and being installed on heavy equipment eliminates the need for specialized transportation—a straightforward and practical solution.
Consideration for installing a new crusher or replacing a stationary plant involves numerous factors such as production volume, machine quantity, installation phase, maintenance costs and processing stages. However, the primary criteria for the choice should be efficiency and profitability, and MB Crusher offers a compelling option.
