We found a way to reduce transportation costs

The Indian road contractor needs to crush river bed material.

road contractor in the Eastern Part of India had been supplying river bed stone to the local static crusher for their GSB requirements.

However, the Company was looking for ways to reduce the high costs of transportation considering the tough hilly terrain. The output from the crushing operations was being sold to the local market as aggregates to road contractors (30mm - 40mm down) and for Concrete preparation (20mm down). Customer quickly realised that there was a huge opportunity to scale up his profit margin if he could configure a solution whereby the crushing operations could be undertaken at his own site.

They found MB Crusher products and were impressed with the dominant solution that MB brags at a global level in the hanging crushing space.

 

The requirements were the following:

  • Materials to be crushed: River bed material;
  • Application: Supplying crushed materials to Road and Civil Contractors for GSB and concrete;
  • Input Size: 100mm – 150 mm boulders;
  • Output Size requirement: 20mm, 30mm, and 40mm down;
  • Base MachineManitou Backhoe loader. 
  • Productivity requirement: 20mm down / 10cm per hour;
The MB stone crusher is mounted on a Manitou backhoe loader and it's crushing river bed material.
The riverstones have been crushed by MB Crusher bucket installed on a backhoe loafer.

The solution

The MB-L160 crusher bucket to install directly to their loader and no requirement to purchase a more hydraulically powerful excavator. Practical, handy, and efficient, the MB-L160 S2 jaw crusher is suitable for backhoes, loaders and telehandlers between 4,5 and 10 Ton.
