POWERSCREEN has delivered its 100th Warrior 2400 mobile screen to distributor General Engineering Services (Genserv) in Oman.
The machine, now part of a fleet that is employed on the 45-km first phase of the Al Batinah Expressway project, was delivered following an initial request for a scalping plant by Galfar Engineering, a leading infrastructure company in Oman. The customer required machines capable of providing output capacities ranging from 700 to 900 tonnes per hour (tph) and more importantly that were mobile as it planned to use them for roads and building projects all over Oman.
Genserv recommended Warrior 2400 scalping screen and Galfar Engineering initially ordered two of them to meet its requirements. When production began, the customer was so satisfied with the screen that it expanded its fleet to add four more units, including the 100th production model of the Warrior 2400, said a spokesman for Powerscreen. All six machines are now working at the Al Batinah Expressway road project, where high quality sub-base is being produced from feed material of a nearby wadi.
“We are very happy with the performance of our plant. Each machine is working for up to 20 hours per day and producing high volumes of material. We find that the machines offer a low operating cost per tonne and we know that we can count on high speed local support from Genserv when we need it,” said a spokesman for Galfar Engineering.
The Warrior 2400 screens are configured with a 150-mm punch plate on the top deck and with a 63-mm aperture mesh on the bottom deck, giving three end products. The -63-mm fines are used for base rock for road projects. The mid-size material (+63-mm to -150-mm) is crushed through a wheeled Terex cone crusher and a legacy Terex Pegson 4242SR impactor and sized below 63-mm using the attached post-screen. Finally, the +150-mm over-sized material is crushed using a jaw, cone and VSI range of crushers working in combination with various screens to make different sized aggregates and manufactured sand.
Warrior 2400 is designed for large scale operators in the quarrying and mining sectors and can handling larger feed sizes. It features a heavy-duty incline screen with a high amplitude triple shaft drive mechanism, lending it to screening, scalping, two- or three-way separation and stockpiling of materials.
