06 May 2019 CW Team

Sandvik provides solutions for quarrying, mining, aggregate and sand production. Going forward, Subhasis Das, Vice-President, Sandvik Mining and Rock Technology, India, sees a significant increase in demand for Sandvik stationary and mobile crushers, accentuated by the increased demand for aggregates and ballasts. “Mining will boost demand for track mobile crushing and screening plants from Powerscreen,” says Vadiraj Pappu, Business Head, Terex Powerscreen Business, Voltas Mining & Construction Equipment Division. “Road and infrastructure projects usually specify the use of three-stage plants, with most tenders recommending vertical shaft impactors, which can also produce crushed sand. Track plants are well-suited to manufacture granular sub-base and wet-mix macadam for road projects.” MB crushing machines are a cost-effective solution for most stone crushing units in India, where, except for large stone crushing units, most units either buy stone from nearby mines or are situated in close proximity of small mines, comments Piero Guizzetti, CEO, MB Crusher India. “When using MB crushing machines as a primary crusher, there is a huge capex saving, plus the transportation time taken for commissioning, dismantling, etc, of static crushers is eliminated.”
