Finished Bulk Aggregates purchase VSI Combi
Burton upon Trent-based Finished Bulk Aggregates (FBA), who provide solutions for processing difficult materials, have recently purchased a Gipocombi RC2700C, thought to be the largest highest-performance tracked mobile VSI crushing and screening plant.
Supplied by Aggregate Processing and Recycling, the machine is the latest addition to FBA’s fleet, which already includes a Gipo RC130FDR. FBA realized that the new machine, which combines the ability of a Magotteaux 2700 VSI with the Gipo Combi system, would provide major advantages over conventional systems.
The 78-ton machine has the ability to take a large feed size at up to 400 tonnes/h throughput, which, combined with a 9m2 two-deck screen, makes the machine a one-piece processing plant capable of processing a wide range of materials to produce optimum-quality single-sized products.
Material such as rail ballast can be produced to a high-quality single size, as well as bottle bank material to 0–4mm, and oversize gravels to sand. The machine also has the ability to process 180mm feed size, allowing the machine to be used as a secondary crusher following a jaw crusher, where traditionally two cone crushers and two screens would be required to achieve the same results.
Offering lower energy consumption than traditional systems, the RC2700C is powered by a 440kW Cat C15 power pack with fully hydraulic variable-speed drive and full radio control.
