Lancashire Crushers purchase Anaconda trommel screen
Earlier this year, Lancashire Crushers purchased their first TD516 trommel screen from Anaconda UK.
The TD516 was added to Lancashire Crusher’s hire fleet to address customer requests for a drum screen capable of producing high volumes of waste material in applications such as skip waste fines, shredded waste, soil remediation, composting and wood chip. Having tested the trommel screen in a number of these applications, the company now has three trommel screens all out on full-time hire.
Peter Slater, owner of Lancashire Crushers, commented: ‘Anaconda’s TD516 trommel is a superb piece of machinery. For such a compact machine, the performance is very impressive and it is extremely easy to operate. The size also means it is very easy to move around the country so it is ideal for our type of business. My customers have been very complimentary about the machine and I must congratulate Anaconda on such a well designed and well built piece of kit.’
Anaconda UK are the official distributors for Anaconda in England and Wales. Danny Morgan, who started the company in 2012 having spent many years working for other crushing and screening distributors, said: ‘The opportunity to become a distributor for Anaconda came in 2012 and it was something I couldn’t ignore. I had been watching their growth since I first saw them at Hillhead in 2011 and was very impressed with the quality of the machines on offer. The range on offer from Anaconda was growing quickly so I felt it was too good an opportunity to miss. So far things have gone very well and the reception in the UK to date has been excellent. I have worked this market for many years and I am very grateful to the customers who have given me the chance to sell them. Those customers include Peter Slater who I would like to thank for his business this far.’
Concluding on the relationship with Anaconda UK, Peter Slater said: ‘There are many options from screening suppliers in the UK but Danny is someone I have known for many years and I know I can trust to provide the right equipment and the necessary after sales support. He is always on hand to help and it is good to see he has now gone out to do this for himself. I wish him every success!’
