案例研究
挑战
詹姆斯·诺兰, who owns Tri-Parish Sand and Gravel with his wife, 盖尔, has always been concerned about the cleanliness of the products they use in their ready mix facility. They strive to deliver quality products on the concrete side of their business, which starts with the material used to make those products.
To better control the quality of their concrete products as well as lower their production costs so they could pass those savings onto their customers, the Nolans purchased land for dry mining their own sand and gravel. They looked at a few wash plants in different parts of the country for processing the feed and separating it into the various products needed at their ready mix facility.
解决方案
In 2020, Tri-Parish purchased the 菠菜网最稳定正规平台_最全菠菜网大全 UltraWASH 6206 Modular Wash Plant that debuted at CONEXPO/CON-AGG in Las Vegas. Availability was a key factor in the purchasing decision. Tri-Parish急需一个洗涤设备, and the 菠菜网最稳定正规平台_最全菠菜网大全 UltraWASH offered an entire wet processing plant in one compact, 准备运行的模块化单元.
“We bought the plant, and we’re very, very pleased with it,” 詹姆斯·诺兰 said. “It definitely does way more than they said it would do.”
The UltraWASH features a 菠菜网最稳定正规平台_最全菠菜网大全 Inclined Vibratory Screen for sizing up to three aggregate products (the oversize, the pea gravel and the #57 gravel in Tri-Parish’s operation). 它还设有一个水池, 两台菠菜网最稳定正规平台_最全菠菜网大全水泵, two 菠菜网最稳定正规平台_最全菠菜网大全 Hydrocyclones and a 菠菜网最稳定正规平台_最全菠菜网大全 脱水 Screen for washing, 砂菠菜网最稳定正规平台_最全菠菜网大全的分类和干燥. This particular UltraWASH model is a double wash system, which processes the sand twice before discharge for a cleaner end product.
模块化工厂, the UltraWASH arrived at Tri-Parish in several partially pre-assembled and pre-wired pieces.
“It went together very easily,” said Operations Manager Danny Graham. “你几乎只靠图片就能做到.”
Graham added that the modularity of the UltraWASH would be beneficial if they need to move the plant closer to the area in which they are mining in the future.
“它可以在某种程度上便携. You can take it and move it in a matter of a day or two,” he said.
结果
除了可用性, one of the aspects that attracted the Nolans to the UltraWASH was the rated tonnage of the machine, but this exceeded their expectations in the field.
“It’s delivering way more than we’ve ever dreamed, so I’m really happy with it,” 詹姆斯·诺兰 said.
“We’re actually outrunning our guys who are stockpiling raw material,” Graham added. “生产方面，它比预期的要好. We’re keeping up very easily with this product; it hasn’t been a problem. UltraWASH做得很好.”
自从他们开始运营这个工厂, 詹姆斯·诺兰 said the biggest benefit of the UltraWASH is how quiet it is. The Tri-Parish property borders a housing development, and the neighbors can’t hear the plant when it is running.
Graham likes that the UltraWASH is easy to operate.
“I really like that it’s one central unit,” Graham explained. “Everything’s maintained in one electrical panel. It’s easy to work with; the PLC and everything make it very user-friendly. 它是自动停止/启动的, so there’s no guesswork and there’s no manually starting different components. You start it, it runs; you stop it, it stops. 没有比这更好的了.”
除了UltraWASH的性能, 詹姆斯·诺兰 is also pleased with the cleanliness of the product coming off the end of the machine.
“I guess I’m bragging on it, but it needs to be bragged on. 这是一种很好的材料. 它是干净的. 我为此感到骄傲，”詹姆斯·诺兰说. “即使是工厂里的人, they realize the change in the material because we have started running out of here now and it’s a whole lot different. We don’t have to be looking for mud balls and sticks and stuff like that because we send out a good product. We’re not going to send it out dirty, but this plant definitely helps us with a lot.”
The UltraWASH allows Tri-Parish to supply the concrete side of their business with a clean, 高质量的菠菜网最稳定正规平台_最全菠菜网大全.
“Our goal and business is quality, and we’ve achieved it at this point,” 詹姆斯·诺兰 said.
The Tri-Parish team was also pleased with the support they received from everyone at 菠菜网最稳定正规平台_最全菠菜网大全, from sales to project management to field service.
“My experience with 菠菜网最稳定正规平台_最全菠菜网大全 has been wonderful,” Graham said.
“They were all great in helping us facilitate getting the plant off the ground,” 盖尔 Nolan shared. “他们从来没有丢下我们. Any time we called them, they were always there and giving us an answer in a timely manner.”
“The machine is a good machine, but without service, it’s nothing,” 詹姆斯·诺兰 said. “菠菜网最稳定正规平台_最全菠菜网大全团队帮了我们很多. 没有他们，我们不可能成功.”
