Concrete gain

Plasmor, a UK independent manufacturer of concrete paving, building blocks, architectural masonry and lightweight aggregate, installed four items of Mogensen vibratory process equipment at its Goole, UK plant in 2010.
The company, which makes extensive use of recycled aggregates and waste products such as power station ash, has nine plants located in Yorkshire, Cheshire, Nottinghamshire and County Durham, plus distribution facilities in south-east England.
The vibratory equipment supplied comprises various feeders, screen feeders and screens. They are mostly handling power station, furnace-bottom ash with a bulk density of some 1,000kg/m’. Feed rates range from 20-180m’/h.
Some machines, depending on location, are dust proofed; all are fitted with Abro wear-resistant steel linings in vulnerable, high-impact areas.
Where screening is involved, the separation carried out is mostly at 40mm, so as to protect a subsequent crusher from excessively large lumps: one of the Heck screens is, however, making a separation at 15mm.
