With over 40 years’ experience in crushing and screening, Dann Environmental Services (D.E.S) have a growing fleet of machines and operators to cater to all aspects of the quarrying and waste management sectors. Their services include contract crushing and screening, machine hire, 360 hire/driver and loading shovel hire/driver.
Having been long time advocates of Powerscreen, D.E.S run a number of crushers and screeners from the world’s leading brand, including a Warrior 1400X, Warrior 1800, 2 x PT400s and have now recently invested in a brand-new Warrior 2100 triple shaft.
With the purchase of the new scalping screener the company will now see an even higher production rate. Ben Dann, Contracts Manager at D.E.S comments “our Warrior 1400X is an excellent machine and will remain important to our fleet, however this new Warrior 2100 means we can further increase our productivity and the increased aggression of the triple shaft screen box allows us to produce a super clean product”.
Weighing in at just under 38 tons and boasting a 16’ x 5’ 1” screen box, the Warrior 2100 triple shaft can produce a throughput of up to 700 tph. When we visited D.E.S the Warrior 2100 was processing granite and had no problem keeping up with the extremely hungry Premiertrak 600 that the company had on demonstration.
Powerscreen’s unique triple shaft technology ensures that the screen box is highly efficient whilst maintaining exceptional throughput. The extreme screening acceleration offers the Warrior 2100 improved capabilities over its class rivals, especially in sticky scalping applications.
The 2100 takes no time to set up and can typically be done in under 10 minutes. The jack up screen box facility offers excellent access to the screen media and collection conveyor, this allows the user to quickly change between screens for maintenance work or to change the media for different applications. Ben comments “I have always appreciated how easy the Powerscreen machines are to work on, and the Warrior 2100 is no different. Accessibility is excellent all over the machine so whether I am carrying out maintenance work on the screen mesh and skirting or carrying out any servicing work such as changing filters, the Powerscreen machines are a dream to work on when compared to some of other manufacturers”.
D.E.S purchased their first Powerscreen machine from Blue Machinery around 5 years ago and haven’t looked back since. Ben explains “our working relationship with Blue Machinery is exactly what we look for in a partner. The team at Blue understand exactly what we require and can advise us on what the best solution will be for our business based on what it is that we are trying to achieve.
Blue understand how vitally important uptime is within the industry, when our machines aren’t working we aren’t earning. Blue Spares offer fantastic availability and can have parts with us either the same day or on next day delivery, and the knowledge from the engineers at Blue is fantastic.”
Ben ends by saying “nothing compares when it comes to crushing and screening, the Powerscreen machines are the best on the market. When you pair this with the industry leading service provided by Blue Machinery, why would we go anywhere else?”
