The crushing equipment market continues to mature, according to RS Raghavan, Managing Director, Proman Infrastructure Services. “Today, customers are looking for solutions capable of creating value-added products. In particular, demand exists for upgrades to working plants, sand plants, washed and dry sand and mortar.”

Proman is very strong in downstream solutions to produce plaster and concrete-manufactured sand by a dry or wet process, and dry mortar plants. It has effectively applied the vertical shaft grinder for industrial minerals and sand plants to crush low-selling or low-priced aggregates to higher demand and better price-realising products like plaster or ready mortar.

thyssenkrupp launched the eccentric roll crusher and variopactor crusher at bauma, Munich. Also, thyssenkrupp India has recently partnered with Gainwell Commosales for sales and distribution in the North, East and Northeast.

Taurian now offers hydrocyclone-based wet sand washers of 30-tph to 150-tph capacities.
