Producers meet aggregate demand with new impactors
Twin impact crushers are keeping a West Texas road contractor supplied with all the stone it needs to serve customers in the economically active Permian Basin. “Oil patch” construction and the infrastructure required to support crude oil extraction – along with the personnel and families involved – has driven business activity in the Midland-Odessa region to new heights. And while the lower price of oil recently has somewhat cooled the local economy, the demand for stone continues. In fact, demand has been a boon to Jones Bros. Dirt & Paving Contractors Inc., a road contractor in Odessa, Texas. Jones Bros. undertakes projects from major highways to subdivision streets to parking lots, and everything in-between in West Texas. The firm provides pavement preservation services such as seal coats. And its two Mobirex MR 110 ZS EVO impact crushers from Kleemann are providing the stone it needs to build local infrastructure and even market stone to other customers. “Jones Bros. began in 1952 doing parking lots in Odessa,” says Danny Wallace, crusher… Keep Reading
A cost saving crusher
A mobile jaw crusher investment has resulted in considerable cost savings for a pair of affiliated companies. A new jaw crusher is producing aggregate in Arizona from demolition concrete, reclaimed asphalt pavement and virgin stone brought to a yard from housing sites in the mountains above Phoenix and its surrounding suburbs. This specific Mobicat portable crusher– the Mobicat MC 110 Zi EVO – belongs to Domres Grading Inc. Domres specializes in preparing sites for mountainside residences. Eventually, the company will take advantage of the Mobicat’s tracked mobility and put it to use on mountainside construction sites, where it will crush excavated stone for reuse on the same site. “We needed a machine that would produce for us in our yard but also have the mobility to get into small, tight areas, like our hillside excavation work on the sides of mountains,” says Tom Domres, company president. “We do custom homes and need to be able to climb up a mountain, get on a small site and crush.” According to Domres,… Keep Reading
Bronx Crushers
Interlinked plants expedite concrete recycling for a New York City company. Interlinked aggregate processing plants are making demolition concrete recycling more economical in the heart of one of the most competitive markets for recycled concrete aggregate, New York City. There, new tracked primary jaw crusher, tracked secondary cone crusher and tracked mobile screen plants are producing recycled concrete aggregate (RCA) faster, to better gradations, than did existing equipment on the site just months earlier. Tracked equipment – not often seen at a permanent urban recycling site – also helps the owner expeditiously position equipment and stockpiles for optimum utility. New York Recycling LLC operates from an existing five-acre site in the Bronx, only blocks from Yankee Stadium. “We think concrete recycling is an industry of the future,” says Eric Coppola, principal. “We wanted to be close to Manhattan because as building projects continue there, a lot of concrete buildings and foundations are taken down and rebuilt. Sidewalks also are recycled. There is a high structural turnover in New York City,… Keep Reading
