Crushintons Ltd take first ever EvoQuip machine in the South East

Crushers

Crushintons Ltd, based in Kent have recently purchased a new Bison 120 Jaw Crusher from Blue Machinery London to process the construction and demolition waste that comes into their site from local builders or via the company’s grab lorry.

Whilst Crushintons have been established for 11 years, and have a strong reputation in the East Kent area, they in the main deal with smaller projects meaning a compact, yet highly powerful, EvoQuip Bison 120 mobile jaw crusher was the perfect solution for their operation.

The company supplies high quality recycled aggregates, crushed stone and hardcore, as well as clean crushed concrete, an environmentally friendly and economical alternative to virgin material.
Crushintons also supply plant equipment for hire to recycle construction waste for re-use on site, helping to keep transportation and material costs to a minimum.

The Bison 120 has been designed for small to medium sized operators and for projects where versatility, manoeuvrability and transportability are of key importance. It is compact enough to fit inside a container for transport, and robust enough to withstand the toughest of applications whilst achieving large production volumes considering its size. The mobile jaw features a ‘680mm x 400mm’ single toggle crusher that can be adjusted hydraulically using the remote. This remote control, which comes as standard on the Bison 120, is a particular key feature for Crushintons as it means owner, Mick Oatridge can control the Bison from the excavator cab used to load the crusher for fast and simple set up. The Jaw is driven hydraulically offering the operator the ability to reverse the crusher to clear a blockage as well as being able to run in reverse permanently for sticky applications such as asphalt.

Commenting on the machine Mick said, “We are comfortably crushing 60tph of material via the new Bison 120 jaw crusher, which is a much higher volume than via our previous machine. We are limited for space within our yard, and the projects our equipment is used for tend to be driveways and small building projects, so the compact machine is ideal for our requirements”
The material from the crusher is screened to extract the fines leaving a clean -40mm and +40mm. The recycled products are mostly used for subbase and drainage, going out across the county and into London.

Matt Scott, Sales Manager, also commented, “These machines are ideal for the South East of the country where space is at a premium. The machines are easy to move around site and the rubber tracks are an ideal feature considering the environments these machines are likely to work in. The ability to adjust the jaw setting whilst running is a fantastic feature, as is the ability to run in reverse”.
