Quarrying Di Maso turns to Hazemag
Hazemag & EPR has recently installed a complete primary crushing plant for the Di Maso company, at its Palo del Colle Plant in Bari, Italy. Designed to process 300 tonnes per hour of limestone at a feed size of 0-800mm, the new crushing concept incorporates a rugged state-of-the-art primary impact crusher, together with a wobbler feeder.
The Hazemag AP-PH 1414 impact crusher is equipped with the very latest active hydraulic control system, which locks the impact aprons in position during operation, to guarantee a uniform, high-quality product. However, on entry of any tramp metal, the aprons retract immediately, allowing material to pass through. The aprons then return to their pre-set position. In addition, the impactor’s inlet plate can be moved hydraulically to facilitate the release of any jammed material. As well as an excellent standard of operational safety, the AP- PH 1414 is extremely user-friendly and machine maintenance is simplified; readily accessible blow bars, with a wedge retaining system, can be removed quickly and easily, and around 90% of wear lining plates used in the housing are identical and interchangeable.
Upstream of the Impactor is the Hazemag Wobbler Feeder which removes fines from the feed material. This process relieves the load on the crusher, leading to reduced power consumption, a lower wear rate and superior operational safety. The wobbler feeder’s efficiency is not affected by moist or sticky
material and, due to the horizontal flow system, the height of the installation is minimised. In this particular application, the material is screened off at 50mm, providing consistent, smooth and controlled feeding.

Finlay Hire provides a touch of glass
An innovative new glass reprocessing plant has been set up in a quarry site near Doncaster, using machinery supplied by Finlay Hire.
Bank End Quarry, a 135 acre site in Blaxton, South Yorkshire, has been operating for 35 years.
Moss Construction Aggregates and Recycling Limited has been running the site – which is still producing high quality red building sand - for five years, but the cutting edge reprocessing plant adds a new string to the company’s bow. Waste glass is ground to -50mm in a Tesab RK623 impact crusher before entering a Terex Finlay 390 feeder to a Terex Finlay MP300 16 x 6 foot, triple-deck, horizontal washing screen. Any lightweight material, such as paper or plastic, is floated off through a Mogensen Trash Screen, while the -6mm glass fines enter a Terex Finlay TC15 Sandmaster. Twin cyclones on the Sandmaster separate the washing water from the clean glass fines, which are stockpiled before being
sold for use in concrete block and pipe construction. All the plant operating here has been supplied by Finlay Hire – part of the Finlay Group of companies.
Ean Noble, director of Moss Construction and Aggregates Recycling, said: ”It’s all about thinking outside the box – we needed to diversify, but we couldn’t have made the huge initial outlay that would have been necessary to purchase all this machinery outright.
“Finlay Hire gave us the opportunity to set up the system, which can process between 80 to 100 tonnes of waste per hour. Of the material processed as much as 90 per cent will be reused, which is a significant reduction in waste going to landfill.” “All the plant operating here has been supplied by Finlay Hire and it is superb.”
The versatility of the plant at Bank End Quarry means that it is not limited to processing glass.
Construction and demolition waste can also be put through the system, which is fitted with a magnetic belt to remove ferrous metal prior to feeding into the MP300.
“The -6 mm sand fraction is fed into the Sandmaster to produce washed recycled sand for utility fill. “The +6 mm is further processed through a Finlay 206 Logwasher for further removal of clay and rinsing, before grading in a Finlay 683 Supertrak into 40x20 mm, 20x10 mm and -10 mm clean secondary aggregate.”
Charles Nairn, a director of Finlay Hire and Finlay Plant Northern, oversaw the introduction of the machinery onto the site. Visit:
