New Finedoor asphalt screen at Tarmac quarry
BG Europa have supplied and installed a new Finedoor asphalt screen for a Barber Greene batch tower at Tarmac Western’s Minffordd Quarry, near Penrhyn, North Wales. The 4m x 1.4m, five-and-an-half deck vibrating screen is constructed in 10mm thick rigid side plates, together with heavy-duty bolted-in decks and high-tensile woven wire mesh with apertures.
As part of the installation project, BG Europa also supplied a replacement screen base frame complete with screen spring supports, an 18.5kW electric-motor drive and seal rubbers, to complement the new asphalt screen and existing hot-stone bins.
The company has also supplied a screen dust housing featuring bolt-on panels and a discharge hood with folding division plates for easy access to the screen meshes In addition, ancillary items, such as additional ducting, a stairway extension and a wear plate lined discharged chute installed between the hot elevator and screen, have been supplied.
The asphalt screen was prefabricated at BG Europa’s Ashbourne workshop, which allowed the installation team to lift the entire screen section into the Barber Green batch tower in one operation.
The 80 tonnes/h batch facility was previously supplied by BG Europa. Having been originally installed at Tarmac Western’s Dolyhir Quarry, the plant was subsequently moved to its present location.
