Cambusmore Quarry completes 1.5million upgrade

CEMEX UK is just about to complete a £1.5million upgrade of their Cambusmore Aggregate plant in Callandar, Perthshire increasing its capacity by 15% , minimising waste, reducing energy consumption by 10% and maintenance costs by 20%.

But more important, the new plant will improve the safety of colleagues as the 30 year old plant with potential structural problems, poor access and lots of working at height has been replaced with a new modern production plant with easy access consisting of Metso Cone crusher and secondary screen, CDE sand plant and a DVE Primary screen with associated conveyors.

The project involved utilising redundant plant from Hereford to utilise existing assets and minimise costs.

"There are two major advantages to this new plant, it will help ensure the safety of our colleagues and contractors at the site and for customers, the aggregates produced are of a better quality with regard to grading, moisture content and cleanliness. Cambusmore has been producing aggregate since 1965 and is now ready to continue providing the local Scottish community with construction materials it needs." comments Rob Doody, Operations Director CEMEX UK
