Panorama Australia Towed Rock Crusher Delivers Australian earthmoving contractor, Sexton Earthworx, has again met the needs of Port Pirie Regional Council with it’s recent purchase of a Kirpy BPB 250 Rock Crusher from Broons Pty, speciliast manufacturers of crushing and compaction equipment. The Kirpy is being used to produce gravel for road construction from materials on site. Redhill Wind Farm in South Australia was the location and the rock a good mixture of both limestone and ironstone. Kirby rock cursher, with it’s tungsten-carbide hammers, towed by Case IHI tractor, made light work of the rock. It consistently produces 40 minus material – ideal for binding the pavement together, giving many years usage for ratepayers. Owner of Sexton Earthworx, Graham Sexton, says that the Council was very impressed with the performance of the 2.5 m wide Kirpy unit in such rugged terrain. “They couldn’t believe how fast and consistently we crushed the rock – there were a few blank faces actually! Word is already getting around. I’ve been asked about crushing a section of the Strzelecki Track in the outback, where it’s down to 20kph in some sections due to oversize rock in the pavement.” The Strzelecki Track is a 466 km route that was originally used to drive cattle. Today, the isolated track is the state’s toughest road trip and one of its most vital as it is a link to the Moomba gas fields, a distance of 350 km, taking a truck 8 hours to cover. Truckers regularly complain about the damage the track causes to tyres. South Australian crushing and compaction specialists, Broons, is excited about the potential uptake of the Kirpy crusher by private earthmoving contractors. Director Stuart Bowes agrees, “We are very proud of the performance of the Kirpy rock crushers and it seems the private earthmoving sector is finally realising the opportunities it brings. Councils have been a good market for the Kirpy machines, but the tide is now turning, they are contracting out much of their work. Whether crushing in a quarry, borrow pit or on the road itself, there is always a demand for good road base.” With thousand of kilometre of unpaved roads and track across Australia, the potential for strong, durable equipment that requires minimal maintenance is a signficant market. Broon Pty was established in 1973, initially to meet the requirements of the unique characteristics of Austrlian needs in curshing and compaction equipment. The company’s range of products are all towed solutions, thereby simplifying maintenance and maximising usage of available on-site tractors • Broons Pty The remote Trzelecki Track (Photo:www.1yearoff.com.au) Page 6 Contractors World International Vol 6 No 1
