THE PERFECT TRIFECTA Decreased Downtime, Increased Productivity & Increased Safety
PAUL TIMONEY, Sales & Marketing Manager for Indeco Australia Pty Ltd reports on the benefits of its Secondary Breaking Boom Systems
THE J H Cuthbertson quarry at Jindivick has grown from humble beginnings a quarter of a century ago to a sizeable local business employing five full time employees and a fleet of machinery providing the district with both crushed rock and fill. The 450 acre property was originally logged to clear the land for the construction of the family dairy farm and subsequently the quarry was established to provide crushed rock for their farms laneways.
The two main products manufactured at the quarry are crushed Hornfels for driveways and bases and Mudstone which, because of its soft texture, is perfect for the dairy laneways as it is easy on the cows hooves.
According to John Persico the Quarry Supervisor, “We are flat out at the moment!”, so any obstructions in the process must be dealt with quickly, efficiently and most of all safely. After seeing an advertisement in an industry magazine, John only made one phone call, to Indeco, to get the answers he needed.
Indeco’s Secondary Breaking Boom Systems are designed to keep your plant running at maximum productivity. Mounted over the mouth of your crusher, a heavy duty Indeco boom system puts an end to downtime associated with oversized materials slowing up your operation. Indeco’s hydraulic arms are heavy duty and built to last for years in even the most difficult of conditions.
Each unit is custom designed for your crushing plant, giving the flexibility to ensure that your investment provides the maximum return. Aimed at eliminating the conventional and hazardous methods of manually unblocking feeders and removing oversized stone from primary crushers, the Indeco system not only eliminates these dangers, but also significantly increases productivity and production.
After consultation with J H Cuthbertson, Indeco designed, manufactured and installed the hydraulic power pack, arm assembly, and whisper quiet HP 200 breaker. The unit can be operated from either the mounting point of the arm which gives an unrestricted view of the obstruction or by mobile radio control which allows the operator the option to choose the vantage point, including in front of the monitors in the operating cabin allowing the quarry to work in any climatic condition.
“The unit has stopped so much down time” John said. “The hand held hammer, to be operated safely, tied up two workers to complete the job that the Indeco does with one. Instead of taking two men half to three quarters of an hour, it now takes one man ten minutes. There is a potential to save one to two hours down time a day”. Now that’s impressive!
Indeco was founded in 1976, with the aim of becoming a leading brand in the global demolition sector. In 1980, after a long phase of experimentation, the company completed their first range of breakers and launched the entire HB series onto the market.
A partnership agreement then led to the creation in 1993 of Indeco Australia, which in the space of just a couple of years became one of the nation’s leading brands. With nearly 20 years of servicing the Australian market, Indeco Australia is one of the longest established and most recognised manufacturers.
While many brands have come and gone over the years, Indeco has entrenched itself as one of the country’s most reputable brands.
In 2003, the Indeco product portfolio grew to include the range of fixed and rotating pulverizers. Indeco Pulverisers provide an innovative design providing better grip which make them easier to handle. The unique shape leads to greater efficiency when demolishing and reduces both working times and stress transmitted to the excavator.
Another key step in improving technology led to the launch in 2004 of the new High Performance HP breaker series. The innovations brought in with this new series vary according to the different classes of breaker, and included a new design, the use of new materials and a reduction in noise emissions.
Indeco’s aim is to keep our entire product range working at maximum uptime, offering proactive support as well as quick response to any machine in need of repair. The professional competency which Indeco technicians bring to their job and the guaranteed availability of spare parts enables Indeco to offer after-sales service that is both rapid and capable of resolving any type of problem.
