Quarrying
More Efficiency Not Only in Reducing Fuel Consumption
Especially for the quarrying and mining industries, where the productivity in terms of tonnes of materials per litre of fuel is crucial, the faster loading cycles and higher bucket capacity of the new generation DL-7 wheel loader series from Doosan provides more efficiency as well as lower fuel consumption. At Müller und Töchter, the DL420CVT-7 wheel loader is used with a 4.7 m3 bucket, working in both loading and travel modes, allowing the advantages of the CVT transmission to be fully exploited.
Managing Director, Georg Müller, bought the machine from the Doosan dealer, Rühle, with whom he has had a close relationship for many years. One of the decisive factors behind the purchase decision was the performance of the wheel loader in a one-week demonstration at the sand works.
Two Generations Working Together
Müller und Töchter was founded in 1920 and is now a medium-sized company with 180 employees. In addition to the 11 quarries that Müller und Töchter operates, they have 85 trucks in their fleet to move all kinds of materials for their customers. The company is a successful and growing family business both in sand extraction as well as in transport or earthmoving. Müller und Töchter is managed by father, Georg Müller, who is actively supported by his two daughters Laura Müller and Bianca Müller.
Georg Müller comments: "It is fantastic how the two of them are involved in the company. That is no longer a
matter of course in this day and age. I am really proud of them and don't have to worry
about my succession in the company."
The company recently drew attention to itself when it was awarded second place in the economy category of the sustainability prize of the federal association, MIRO, for its washing plant. The latter is equipped with a sludge dewatering system for water recovery, which was developed entirely by the company's own employees.
