ichigan based Great Lakes AggregatesInc. produces approximately a milliontons of limestone per year at its SylvaniaMinerals Quarry located in SouthRockwood. As the quarry increased the

number of saleable products that it produced, itencountered screening challenges along the way suchas limited open area, screen breakage and severeblinding. “With only nine months of production timeeach year it’s important that we keep production ontrack,” says Bill Begley, quarry manager at SylvaniaMinerals Quarry.

The quarry’s goal was to increase its throughput onall three decks of the wash screens, while producingfour different product sizes from clean, high qualityminus 3/4-inch material. After several failedattempts with other products to achieve these results,Begley meet with Kevin Hinkley at ConveyallIndustrial Supply, Inc. and Brad Rice from MajorWire who recommended they try Major Wire’s Flex-Mat® 3 screen media.

Competitor’s poor screen media hindersproduction

All three decks of both screen boxes were originallyfitted with modular polyurethane panels. The topdeck screen had a 1/2-inch opening, the middle deckhad a 3/8-inch opening and the bottom deck screenhad a .212-inch opening. This system worked fine aslong as the load of base materials and washedproducts were split equally. However, as the quarryincreased the amount of washed products, the resultswere poor quality and lower production rates. Thescreens needed more open area.

To achieve more open area, the previous screenmedia provider then suggested changing to theirdiamond shaped (“D” style) wire openings andsupplied urethane bucker bar covers for the flat deckrail bars on the screen boxes to create a crown for theside tensioned panels. These new panels wereinstalled on the top and middle decks of both screenplants. After running for only a few days the screenmedia panels broke apart causing production to come

to a halt.Flex-Mat 3 quickly makes an impact

Hinkley from Conveyall visited the quarry to takemeasurements of the screen boxes to ensure every-thing would fit correctly. Next, they installed MajorWire’s Flex-Mat 3 Tensioned Series D, a diamondshaped media that works well for most standardapplications, on both the top and middle decks of onescreen box. On their second screen box, for compari-son, they installed more of the competitive “D” stylescreen panels that they had been using previously onthe top and middle decks as well.

After just a few days of production, the screen boxwith the previous screen media on it broke again butthe Flex-Mat 3 screen media lasted nearly four more

From this elevated view, Great Lake's stockpile of material is very impressive.

months. Following that, they installed it on the comparison screen and increased production on bothscreens. “We were really impressed with the wear lifeof Flex-Mat 3 and excited about the extra production.The other self-cleaning screen media we used didn’thave enough open area and didn’t screen as well asMajor Wire’s Flex-Mat 3,” comments Begley. “It hasbeen a good product, very reliable and the price iscompetitive with other self-cleaning screen media,but Flex-Mat 3 has a longer wear life.”

Flex-Mat 3 Tensioned Series D is now installed onboth of Sylvania Minerals’ triple deck wash screenboxes. Production has gone from 39 tons per hour toan impressive 80-85 tons per hour, more thandoubling the production of minus 1/2-inch by plus3/8-inch limestone, which is a premium productused in asphalt. The production of other washedproducts also increased.

“The durability of Flex-Mat 3 screen media hasmeant far less time performing maintenance andchanging screens, saving valuable operating hours,”says Begley. The plant can now run fewer hours andstill put more material on the ground. “The only chal-lenge now is that the tertiary crusher feeding thewash screens can’t feed material fast enough to keepup with the new Flex-Mat 3 screen media.”

Problem solvingBegley wasn’t completely surprised by the perform-

ance of Flex-Mat 3 as he had experience with theproduct while working in one of Great LakeAggregates’ other quarries a few years earlier. “Wewere experiencing severe blinding; it was so bad thatevery 90 minutes the operation would shut down for20-30 minutes to beat the blinded material out of thescreen media with a hammer. The quarry switched toFlex-Mat 3 and never had a problem with blindingagain.”

Another challenge faced by Sylvania Minerals wastheir overflowing settling ponds. Their initial solutionwas just to build another settling pond but the$100,000 price tag made exploring other optionsmore appealing. In another area of the plant, theyinstalled Major Wire’s HyperSlot screen media. It is aslotted screen media with unique alternating crimpedand straight wires. These provide an uneven surfacewith one straight wire followed by one crimped wire.The crimped wire causes the material to slow downgiving the material more time to pass over the open-ings, resulting in better fines removal.

Since installing HyperSlot screen media on thebottom deck, quarry personnel have noticed a 50percent decrease in material entering the settlingpond, down from the former 220 tons per hour toonly 110 tons per hour. The change to HyperSlotscreen media has allowed the quarry to delay the cre-ation of an additional settling pond while providinganother saleable product.

vicinity.A non-fatal accident occurred when

a bulldozer broke into a cavity in araw coal stockpile above the feeder.The bulldozer cab was completely cov-ered and the operator was entrappedfor approximately four hours beforebeing rescued.

Best Practices1. Use enclosed cabs with rollover

protection in stockpile areas;2. Install two means of two way

communication in the bulldozer, withone powered by an independent pow-er source;

3. Maintained communication at alltimes with the feeder control roomand the bulldozer operator;

4. Install two 60 minute oxygen gen-erating SCSRs in the bulldozer andinspect them during pre-operationalchecks. Mount the SCSRs overheadand train operators in their use;

5. Install an independent lightsource;

6. Install 40 psi cab window glass orchemically treat with a proper windowsupport system;

The Atlas Copco HS1 screeningplant is built for high productivitywith its sorting efficiency, mobilityand easy maintenance. Supplement-ing the Atlas Copco range of crush-ers, the single deck HS1 screener en-ables customers to produce two sal-able products or to run the crusherin closed circuit with a recirculatingconveyor. In certain applications thisincreases the quality and shape ofthe material.

The screen box has large clear-ances to help eliminate blockageseven when the crusher is producinghigh output volumes. The re-circu-lating conveyor option deposits over-size materials directly back into thehopper of the crusher.

At just 22-feet 9-inches long by 6-feet 6-inches wide, it has superiortransport capability. Since the HS1is mounted on the crusher, it movesaround the jobsite with ease, en-abling quick and easy onsite grading.

Equip Sales & Leas-ing Corp. and its em-ployees have a com-bined 50 years of expe-rience in the crushing,screening and recyclingindustry. They have op-erated and sold variousmakes of crushers andscreeners, but when itcame to the decision ofwhich machine thecompany wanted torepresent and add to itsrental fleet, the Rock-ster Duplex System wasthe ideal fit.

The unique DuplexSystem was a strong

argumentJoe Collazo, sales

manager of Equip Salessays: "Rockster crushershelped fill the void in thefleet as we didn't have aclosed circuit machinecapable of producingspec material, and thefact that the machinecan be switched fromJaw to Impactor made it

an even easier decisionfor our company. Theunique design of the du-plex system allowed usto get maximum utiliza-tion of the machine, as itcan be used in variousapplication from virginstone to recycled asphaltand concrete." Rocksterhas developed the du-plex system which hasbeen patented for al-ready eight years now. Itenables the exchange ofimpact crusher and jawcrusher and vice versaon one basic chassiswithin a few hours. Thistechnology allows flexi-ble recycling, operatingwith hard stone, as-phalt, concrete or anyother C&D. The hydro-static drive system pro-vides the technical basefor this highly sophisti-cated system: It allows acontinuous variation ofthe crusher speed aswell as a clockwise or

anti-clockwise operationof the crusher (or viceversa). Through thisdrive system Rockster'scustomers have the ad-vantages of a great oper-ation convenience, anddue to the absence of aconventional clutch it isfree of wear. Moreoverthe maintenance is sim-ple and high perform-ance across all applica-tions due to an optimal

adaptation to the vari-ous requirements isguaranteed.100 percent defined

final grainMoreover the ideal

measures of the ma-chine which allow totransport the crusherincluding the screeningbox and the return beltwith one truck were im-portant for choosingRockster machines.

Equip Sales putsgreat emphasis on goodperformance and needshigh value, cubic finalgrain so they chose theoptional screening boxand the return belt towork with a closed cir-cuit and produce 100percent definable finalgrain. Additionally youhave the possibility touse it as stockpile

conveyor with a dis-charge height of up to 4meters.

Mr. Collazo is verysatisfied with Rockster:"Three years and almost4000 hours later themachine continues toperform and shock ourcustomers with its pro-duction and materialquality despite its com-pact size."

The pneu-matic cutting head delivers powerfulwhip action from the rotating head toremove buildup from walls. The hosereel easily separates from the boomassembly for transportation and set-up in tight spaces.

“There are competing systems thatutilize hydraulics, but they tend to beheavy and cumbersome,” said MartinEngineering Territory Manager JimDensberger. “And they present thepossibility of a fluid leak, which couldcontaminate otherwise-salvageablematerial. The whip requires no hy-draulics; it needs just 90 PSI and 100CFM, which can usually be suppliedfrom a plant’s existing air system.”

Densberger added that some pneu-matic cleaning systems require veryhigh air volumes, often as much as

1,200 CFM. “To achieve that kind ofpressure, the diesel compressorrental alone can be more than $1,000a day, and the fuel bill for a full day’swork could be half again as much,”he said. “Then there’s the cost to ac-tually do the work.”

Potential damage to the storagevessel can also be an issue. Somecleaning technologies use the veryhigh pressure to blow air through ahose that’s simply dropped into anaccess hole at the top of the vessel.At the end of the hose is a tool with arestricted nozzle, which causes the“cleaning head” to thrash about ran-domly. While this technique worksin large blockages, it provides littleor no control, and as the head getscloser to the vessel wall, it has anequal chance of taking out a chunkof the silo as it does hitting materialfor removal.

For extreme blockages where hard-ened lumps of material have pluggeddischarge chutes, silo cleaning tech-nicians also use the Martin® Buster,

which safely dislodges blockages bythe powerful force of expanding CO2gas. The technique employs non-ex-plosive generators that cause rapidgas expansion to fracture chunks andcompacted material, opening the dis-charge and restoring normal flow.

When bridged or arched materialcreates a no flow condition, techni-cians can rely on the Martin Drill tobore through tough clogs. The drill’spowerful hydraulic action drives itsway through blockages, clearing apathway at depths up to 150-feet.

Martin Engineering’s Silo Solutionsare provided as a turnkey service.The company’s fully-equipped teamsbring all required equipment and per-sonnel directly to customer sites.Many facilities are able to remain inoperation during vessel cleaning, butwhen conditions require a shutdown,technicians work evenings, weekendsor holidays to accommodate cus-tomer schedules.

Silo cleaning services from MartinEngineering are backed by the com-

pany’s total satisfaction guarantee.If any customer is dissatisfied afterone full shift, the crew will return toheadquarters without charge.

MORRIS, MN — Supe-rior Industries, the Mor-ris, MN based manufac-turer of conveyor sys-tems and components,will highlight its latestconveyor component in-novations at ConExpo-Con/Agg 2014 in LasVegas, with an indoorsite in Central Hall(Booth No. 51838); andan outdoor site in thebrand new Platinum Lot(Booth No. 7602).

Chevron® PulleyVersus traditional

wing pulleys that trapfugitive material andcause wings to tip orbend, the Superior In-dustries Chevron Pulleydeflects fugitive materi-al out and away, pre-venting costly belt dam-age. Also, with its evenwearing rounded con-tact bars, its continu-ous belt contact re-duces beating actionand vibration for quietoperation. The ChevronPulley will be displayednext to a traditionalwing pulley; and salesand engineering repre-sentatives will be onhand to discuss the keydifferences in operationbetween the two.

Navigator® ReturnTrainer

Effective in both wetand dry conditions, theSuperior IndustriesNavigator Return Train-er idler maintains prop-er belt tracking by usingthe gravity of the beltweight to make theroller shift and thustrack the belt. The mis-aligned belt puts pres-sure on one side of thetraining idler, causingthe training idler to tilt

and guide the belt backto center. Designed as acontact-free product,the return trainer is freeof wear parts and anyside contact to the belt,leading to longer wearlife and less mainte-nance. Additionally, itsrubber lagging shedsmaterial and increasesfriction, keeping thebelt aligned and pre-venting belt damage.

Exterra® Belt Cleaners

The Superior Indus-tries line of Exterra beltcleaners features apatented blade designthat’s manufacturedwith a thicker profileand a beefier tip formore material at ascraper’s point of at-tack. At ConExpo-Con/Agg, Superior willhighlight its ExterraSFL Dual Belt Cleaner,the first and only com-bination primary andsecondary cleaning sys-tem to feature twoblades on one mountingpole. Also, the systemfeatures a one-time ten-sioning system at setup,requiring no furthertensioning during thelife of the blade.

Complete solutionsAt the show, Superior

Industries will also dis-play a representation ofits complete line of con-veyor pulleys; and itscomplete line of CEMArated idlers which in-cludes its Moxie Rollsthat shed sticky materi-als and prevent trackingissues; and its UrathonReturn Rolls that pre-vent material buildupand significantly in-crease wear life. Superi-

or will also highlight itsSealing System thatprevents materialspillage in load zones;and engineers will ad-dress the company’sCore System® Design, apackage that delivers asingle source for power

transmission compo-nents, while eliminatingthe headaches of onsiteassemblies and reduc-ing installation time.

Tough enough to use asa primary crusher, theAtlas Copco PC3 impactcrusher is an all in onereduction plant. Thehighly productive PC3has single pass capabilityto simultaneously pro-duce two salable frac-tures to spec. Applica-tions include naturalstone crushing, miningand quarrying, construc-tion and demolition jobsof soft to medium-hardmaterials.

The PC3 impact crush-

ers’s key features are theresult of years of in thefield use and customerinput on desirable attrib-utes such as productivi-ty, low operating costs,availability and safety.

The PC3 increases pro-duction capacity with alarge crusher inlet openingwith wide clearance be-tween crusher and outlet.

The PC3 is capable ofmultiple uses for a loweroverall operating cost. Itcombines a conveyormounted HS1 screen box

with closed circuit con-veyor so it can create twoquality controlled salablecommodities in one pass.

Oversized rock is noproblem. The primarychamber is designed toproduce greater reduc-tions and maintainsmooth running materi-al throughput. Twin hy-draulically adjustablecurtains enable fastCSS adjustment andtune reduction ratios toyield higher quality cu-bical product from just

one crusher.In recycling operations,

the PC3 impact crusher’sreversible permanentmagnet removes metalfrom crushed product. Alarge discharge openingfrom crusher base to itsendless rip stop conveyorbelt creates ample clear-ance for rebar.

Long life and availabili-ty is designed into thesystems themselves. Theendless rip stop conveyorbelt ensures a longer beltlife, and the feeder and

hopper are lined withHardoz to protect themfrom wear. The transfluidcrusher drive systemmakes for soft starts andgentler engine load.

A radial piston pumpproduces lower workingtemperatures with lessdrop off in the hydraulicsystem. A side dischargebelt beneath the grizzlyremoves fines, extendingthe life of wear compo-nents and producingcleaner fracture. And afull impact slider bed un-der the crusher dis-charge also contributes

to longer belt life andlower operational costs.

Easy access to key areasin the machine makesmaintenance easier, keep-ing the PC3 available andproductive. Plug and playcomponents are easy tomaintain or replace. Longlife symmetrical wearplates located in high wearareas are interchangeable.

Keeping safety in mind,the PC3 has a full func-tion wireless remote con-trol for maneuvering andpermits one man crusheroperation from a loaderor excavator cab.

RAKES BRANCH, VA — BMC Rock, a familypartnership between Curtis Tharpe’s threechildren Beverly Kunath, Mike Tharpe andChris Tharpe, opened for business onAugust 29, 2005. With eleven employees

from pit to scale, the business is firmly and proudly afamily operation.

According to Tharpe, the family got into the quarrybusiness quite by accident. Curtis had bought afarm, timbered it, and was cutting a fire trail to burnthe cutover stand and turn the land into pasture. “Wekept hitting rock,” he said. So he moved the fire trail,and hit rock again. Eventually he decided to test therock, dynamite it to see how good it was. It was goodenough for them to decide to start sample drilling. Asa result, they found a seam of very hard granite thatextends to a depth of over 400-feet in some places. Anengineering survey estimated that at 24 tons per load,100 loads per day, five days per week, the quarry willlast 120 years. In some places, the overburden is asmuch as 40-feet, in others as little as eight feet.

BMC started by digging where the overburden was

greatest, because when they opened they were sellinga lot of dirt. They also sold a lot of rock. Today, themain pit already has a 60-foot granite face exposed.“When we first got into it we thought we might growto 100 loads a week,” said Curtis. “We’ve done asmany as 200 loads a day.”

Within the first year, the quarry had three statejobs. One was to provide 3,000 tons of pug mill mate-rial per day. “We started crushing at 4 a.m.,” saidMike, recalling that project. “Those first few yearswere “very, very productive.” Then the economysagged.

EquipmentThe quarry relies upon mobile equipment entirely.

The quarry’s primary jaw crusher is a Terex PegsonPremiertrak 1180 located in the pit. It feeds a lineconveyor, which goes to the top of the quarry. There,material enters the quarry’s secondary crusher, aPowerscreen 1500 Maxtrak. The 1500 Maxtrack, oneof the largest mobile cone crushers available, usesTerex® Automax cone crusher technology.

BMC also has two other cone crushers, a 1300

Maxtrak (like the 1500, with Terex® Automax tech-nology) and a Terex 1000SR, which combines crush-ing and screening capabilities. The 1000SR has a twodeck screen with an 11-foot x 5-foot screen box.

BMC does most of its screening with a PowerscreenH6203 three deck horizontal screen (with a 6-foot x20-foot screen box) and a Powerscreen Warrior 1800,a two deck screen with a 16-foot x 5-foot screen boxall of it purchased Powerscreen Mid-Atlantic in NorthCarolina. (It did open with a small electric crusherand a screen, but those quickly wore out.)

Since all of BMC’s equipment is mobile, it allowsthem to reconfigure how they align the equipmentdepending on what kind of product they are trying tomake. “You can just drive it out of the way,” saidMike, who’s in charge of quarry operations. “Also,because we’re new, we don’t really want to put in astationary plant yet,” he added. Before they get to thepoint of investing in stationary equipment, he said,they want to make sure they know the best place toput the equipment in relation to the deposit.

About three years ago the quarry started washingstone. They take crusher run from the 1000SR, thencombine it with No. 57, No. 8, No. 9 and clean B sandin a Powerscreen Chieftain triple deck wash screener.The 2100x — which features a 20-foot x 5-footscreenbox — is combined with a Powerscreen Tridentdewaterer.

The quarry has two main settling ponds for collect-ing sand and a third retention pond before water fromthe washing system goes to the quarry’s main waterhole. BMC just changed the location of its main waterhole in its quarry, creating a deeper hole to give theaccess to more water for washing stone. They gettheir pumps from Mid-Atlantic Irrigation in Farmville,VA.

The conveyor line that connects the bottom of thequarry to top has been a real boost to efficiency sincethe quarry installed it two years ago. BMC bought itfrom RJ Smith, which had bought an old Alcoa build-ing in Richmond. The line conveyor “just happened tobe Terex blue,” Mike said. Before installing theconveyor, the quarry was trucking rock from thebottom of the quarry floor to the top of the pit. Withthe conveyor, they now have their primary crusher onthe bottom of the quarry floor. “It’s been a big help,”said Mike.

Because BMC’s granite is so hard it’s highly prized

Piedmont Asphalt has an asphalt plant located adjacent to the quarry. The site hasn't produced asphalt in two years buthopefully with the economy improving that will soon change.

both for large and small stone. BMC regularly sellsrip rap down to the Virginia Beach area for use onshorelines. It is also sought after for its No. 8 and No.9 stone. The quarry produces everything from riprapto crusher run and sand. It can set up to produce anykind of rock, but mostly sells No. 57, No. 357, No. 3,No. 8, No. 9, rip rap, crusher run and sand.

“Not only is it hard to crush rock down to that sizeand get the correct rock strength and size,” said MarkKeenan of Powerscreen, who is familiar with BMC’soperation, “but it’s hard to find the kind of deposit toproduce that kind of stone. BMC has a very gooddeposit. Their particular rock is extremely hard forthat area.”

After a shot, BMC will either keep oversize stone forrip rap or hammer it down with one of two hammerhoes — a Hyundai and a Kobelco. There are threetrack hoes in the quarry for moving stone to the 1180and the conveyor. They are CAT and John Deere, asare the five rubber tire loaders in use at the quarry.

In the pit they keep a Cat 980, whereas on top ofthe quarry they keep a John Deere 844 for loadingtrucks and two John Deere 824s to clean up andstockpile. The John Deeres they get from James RiverEquipment. “Every time we trade in we get somethingbigger,” said Mike, who likes the reliability of Cat andDeere equipment. In fact, one reason he likes thePowerscreen equipment is because they have Catpower plants.

For cleaning out underneath their crushers andscreeners, BMC has manufactured a push rod thatthey use on a Bobcat.

The Tharpe family also operates a trucking busi-ness, CWT Trucking, which Curtis founded 44 yearsago. The trucking company hauls about 90 percent ofthe quarry’s stone. Having the trucking company“helps us out,” said Mike, who used to be in charge ofmechanic work for the trucking company.

Switching to quarry work has made Mike appreci-ate how the challenges of working with stone (partic-ularly the hard granite at the quarry). “It’s totally dif-ferent than anything I’d ever done,” he said.“Equipment wears out so quick. Stuff that normallydoesn’t break, breaks.” He has to replace the teeth onhis buckets every three months, the blades on thefront of his loaders every four months, and rebuildhis buckets every six months.

Piedmont Asphalt of Danville, VA, has a satellitefacility at BMC (with an agreement to use BMCstone). But it hasn’t made asphalt there in two years.Hopefully that will change this year.

“When we started we didn’t know how big to get,”Curtis said. “We made some mistakes, bought sometoo small equipment. Like anything, you have to getinto it to learn how to do it. It’s been quite an experi-ence.”

“We didn’t know anything about quarrying,” Mikeadded. “We’re learning fast.”

Powerscreen’s Keenan agrees. “They’ve come a longway,” he said. Powerscreen is part of the TerexMaterials Processing segment of Terex Corporation.To learn more about Powerscreen equipment visit theTerex website at www.terex.com .

Among other reasons, Mike Tharpe likes Powerscreen equipment because they utilize CAT power plants.

Tina Murray (front) and Beverly Kunath have been runningthe scales and office (including testing samples) since thequarry opened. Kunath is one of the quarry's owners.

Curtis (L) and Mike Tharpe at the location of their acciden-tal quarry. The outfit uses top of the line mobile equipment,in part so they can move pieces around and in partbecause they're not yet sure the best place for a stationaryplant.

BMC uses CAT and John Deere track hoes and rubber tireloaders. The track hoes are used in the bottom of the pit formoving rock to the primary crusher, while the rubber tireloaders are used on the top of the quarry for moving andloading stone and, as shown here, clean up.

BMC uses this Bobcat attachment, built in-house, to cleanout underneath equipment.
