Available in three sizes - SMP100, SMP200 and SMP300 - the range delivers production capacities from 40 to 100 tonnes per hour, with scalability for future growth.
Small scale sand producers now have a cost effective, reliable and integrated solution to their production needs, taking the guesswork and risk out of daily operations. Pilot Crushtec has invested its decades of design and engineering experience into a range of dedicated, modular sand-making plants that give users the latest fit-for-purpose technology within a short lead time of just two months. MODULAR MUSCLE FOR SMALL SAND PRODUCERS
or reliability,” Marais explains. “It’s all about packaging the well-known components for the user’s conve- nience and peace-of-mind.” This is central to Pilot Crushtec’s modular approach, ensuring that all components fit seamlessly together and are ready to commis- sion - with minimal site preparation costs. While a concrete base can be beneficial, these modules are skid mounted and designed to work on a flat level compacted surface. There is no need for added platforms, welding or extra items like chutes to be specially fitted on site. “As a leading crushing and screening OEM in South Africa, we have been designing and manufac- turing for more than 35 years, which means we have all the necessary in-house designs and engineering for this range,” Marais explains. “This means that customers don’t have to foot the bill for custom engineer- ing – and this alone will save them on upfront capital expenditure and reduces the risk of budget overruns.” Being built from tried-and-tested well-engineered designs also ensures that these standard plants
A ccording to Francois Marias, Sales and Marketing Director at Pilot Crushtec, many smaller operators tend to make do with second-hand equipment, which is often not ideal for their application. “Many operators put together the components - from crushers and screens to feeders and conveyors - but lose time and money during operations due to inefficiencies and unreliable performance,” Marais says. “Alternatively, if they choose to go with a bespoke plant, tailored
for their purposes, this comes at considerable cost and can take many months to design and manufacture.” The Pilot Crushtec modular sand-making plants reduce risk by delivering a turnkey solution that is purpose-built for sand production. These plants have been designed as a complete ready to run solution. The major advantage lies in their con- venience and cost effectiveness as they offer a fully integrated plant that dramatically reduces site prepara- tion and set-up time. “This makes for fast deployment, without compromising performance
