QUARRYING
The big payback
Hamilton Aggregate in the US is
a young, fast-growing company
that has always favoured mobile
crushing and screening equipment.
needs with [Sandvik distributor] Crushing Tigers we run the
machines for nine hours each day, and then run a preventative
maintenance schedule to ensure reliability and maximum
productivity,” said Mr Hamilton .
A third facility in Quitman, Arkansas supplies material on
demand to the local market. The flexibility of mobile crushers
and screens comes into its own here as the units can be moved
between the different quarries and quickly set up again as
required.
This flexible approach has seen the company grow from a
single 0.5 acre (0.2 ha) quarry to a three facility operation that
has produced some 2 million tonnes of material in its short
seven-year history. iC
