Washing Feature Story
Saredon Hill Quarry:
Saredon Hill Quarry was the 2nd project for the PowerX Equipment team and is located at Shareshill near Wolverhampton. Following a period of six months, when the site was reinstated into working order, sand processing quickly followed.
Originally, sand processing was handled by a washing plant which at the time was sufficient to cope with the sales. However, with rising demand in 2017 from a major customer to supply sharp sand and an on-site concrete plant, including a further 3 concrete plants, and a further two coming on-line in 2017, a decision was made to upgrade the production capabilities. The PowerX Equipment team
duly supplied a new wash plant and a water and silt management system which also included a AS206 triple deck with a Terex® Finesmaster 120 Compact, a 1000 cone crusher and a 14m diameter thickener system.
The new plant has given NRS Aggregates the scope to increase production and improve efficiency and production of high-value products to match demand.
A second plant is currently under construction to process the stone from a dry recycling operation.
