Sandvik supplies mobile machinery for Kenyan site

Sandvik Mining and Construction Tanzania has supplied a mobile screening and crushing train for the construction of The Chemususu Dam project.

Supplied in conjunction with the VAS Group, the screening and crushing train is initially being utilised to produce road base for the haul roads on site.

The train will then be required to provide aggregates for the fill and associated construction requirements.

The screening and crushing train consists of a QJ240 (C-10+) jaw, a QH330 (F-1080) cone and a QA240 (S-4) screener.

The productivity and mobility of the individual units have been proved to be suited to working in an initial confined space.

As the site expands, the high output of these machines will be able to meet the two million plus tons of material required for completion of the project.

The QA240 double-deck Doublescreen has been designed for operation where massive throughput is required, but can also meet the requirement for precision screening.

Each box is hydraulically adjustable and incorporates a separate drive motor to enable a reverse throw of materials and separate variable speed motors for each screen box.

The Sandvik QJ240 is a highly productive tracked jaw crusher.

This compact self-propelled machine brings the features of Sandvik's tracked jaw crushers in a format designed for operation where operating space is limited, yet high performance required.

The QH340 is designed for for crushing and sizing minerals.

It is able to work as an independent unit, or as part of an integrated aggregate production line with the other members of the screening and crushing family such as the QJ and QA 240's.

The Chemususu Dam project is located North West of the town of Nakuru in Kenya.

The dam has been opened by the Kenyan government to supply clean water for drinking and agricultural use even in the driest seasons.

The dam stores almost 11billion litres of water when in full operation.

The official opening coincided with the commissioning of Sandvik's mobile screening and crushing train.

Sandvik was specified to supply the train due to its ability to support the aftermarket requirements of the units in such a remote location.
