Terex Washing Systems ensure supply of sand and gravel products to concrete sites in Cork, Ireland.

Terex Washing Systems washing plant is helping a third-generation company feed sand and gravel products to concrete sites in Cork, Ireland...

Keohane Readymix’s plant in the Irish county of Cork processes natural sand and gravel deposits. The material, while fairly free-flowing, can get sticky and contain clay or organics like roots.

The feed material is 60:40 sand to gravel, predominantly minus 150mm but can be up to 300-400mm.

Keohane's old wash plant was worn out, and they needed a new installation that could handle their unique requirements.

Terex Washing Systems (TWS) was selected to design the plant and began to analyse a sample of Keohane's as-dug material and used this to propose the plant's design.
