 Crushing & Screening
   Powerscreen® Maxtrak 1000 Cone Crusher:
At the heart of the recirculation of the oversize material is the high performance Powerscreen® 1000 Maxtrak cone crusher, a machine that has been designed for direct feed applications without pre-screening on clean rock. At the heart of the Maxtrak is the Automax cone crusher with hydraulic setting, tramp release, and unblocking system. Its unique crushing action provides excellent capacity, high reduction, and excellent product cubicity for the production of high-quality aggregate and sub-base materials.
Luke Talbot – MD of PowerX, commented, “Teamwork with the customer, in this case CEMEX, is vital in ensuring that needs are met at the Dove Holes operation. We will always, where possible adapt to meet changes in a processing situation. To date it’s been a total success what has been achieved so far with the machine line-up of world beating TEREX® Powerscreen equipment.”
A successful portfolio of crushing contracts:
The PowerX Equipment team have a huge successful portfolio of contract crushing over many years and have successfully completed contracts up to 10-years long and notably achieved landmark processing in the construction of the Aberdeen bypass were the team processed in excess of four million tonnes of granite.
Conservation high on the agenda:
The 500 hectares Dove Holes site plays a major part in conservation, as the surrounding grassland around the quarry area is a key area for the rare Twite bird. This species has been categorised as high conservation importance and a priority UK BAP (Biodiversity Action Plan) species. The grassland helps provide the seed food needed by the Twite, which has been seen nesting in cracks of an old quarry face. CEMEX is constantly working with the RSPB to help manage and restore its sites, giving nature a home.
