Feeding into the Heavy Duty High Energy screenbox, which measures 1.83m x 6.1m and is one of the highest product capacity in its class, the wood is quickly sorted into three stockpiles; the sub-6mm fine wood and mineral material is rapidly removed and stockpiled off the first of three conveyors. Next is a mid-size product, with the second conveyor full of quality product. Oversized product comes off the end of the mesh onto the tail conveyor, with all three offering good stockpiling heights.
We then went on to the aggregate side of the site where their second R230 was busy making quality top soil. Adam commented, “One of the advantages of the McCloskey is ease of operation and setup speed; we can fold up the machines up in just a few minutes and track them between sites, should we need to focus production on either side of the business. You can position the machine, fold it out and be working in a matter of minutes and this all contributes to our uptime and productivity. It really is a versatile, flexible machine that is easy to use and delivers great performance.”
Being fed with a mix of soil and aggregate, you can really see how effective the screenbox is, breaking up the material into three ready- to-use products. The fines belt was full of top-quality 10mm soil, with the mid-product conveyor steadily stockpiling a consistent size stone from the mix of material. Oversize material will travel the length of the screenbox to come off the tail conveyor clean, ready for further processing. The cleanliness of the material is evidence of the screenbox’s performance, maximising the usable material to be had from the feed.
Adam concluded, “We really are delighted with these machines. They replaced a Powerscreen 1800 when we needed a bigger deck and more production capacity, and the McCloskeys has certainly delivered. In three years, we’ve had barely any downtime and the quality of the product has always been great, we’ve never had a complaint about the product. We would definitely have another McCloskey machine, they continue to impress with productivity and quality.
“The aftersales service provided by McCloskey Equipment is second-to-none. Whether I’ve needed a scheduled service or a replacement wear part, McCloskey Equipment has
always been prompt, maximising my machine uptime.”
