to feeders and conveyors – but lose time and money during operations due to inefficiencies and unreliable performance,” he says.“ Alternatively, if they choose to go with a bespoke plant, tailored for their purposes, this comes at considerable cost and can take many months to design and manufacture.”
Pilot Crushtec modular sand-making plants reduce risk by delivering a turnkey solution that is purpose-built for sand production, the company says. The major advantage lies in their convenience and cost effectiveness as they offer a fully integrated plant that dramatically reduces site preparation and set-up time.
“ This makes for fast deployment, without compromising performance or reliability,” Marais explains.“ It’ s all about packaging the well-known components for the user’ s convenience and peace-of-mind.”
This is central to Pilot Crushtec’ s modular approach, ensuring all components fit seamlessly together and are ready to commission – with minimal site preparation costs. While a concrete base can be beneficial, these modules are skid-mounted and designed to work on a flat level compacted surface. There is no need for added platforms, welding or extra items like chutes to be specially fitted on site.
The sand-making plants come in three sizes. The smallest in the range is the SMP100 which can produce up to 40 t / h of minus 5 mm sand with a recirculating load capacity of 85 t / h through the rotor. Next in the range is the SMP200, capable of producing up to 55 t / h, while the SMP300 can produce 100 t / h.
“ Our modular systems also have the advantage of scalability, which is ideal for those customers that will require increased capacity later,” Marais says.“ Our wellengineered modular systems allow you to add units or upgrade without overhauling the whole setup, making it easier to scale as your operation grows.”
Fully-electric crushing
