New Aggregate Processing Plant for Cemex - Angerstein Wharf
Due to its strategic location Angerstein Wharf is a key site for CEMEX. Last year their 16,000 tpw plant burnt down meaning a shortfall in supply to the London market, and CEMEX without a wash plant.
With an impressive range of capabilities and support structure, and a scheduled completion within a short timescale, DUO Equipment was successful in their bid to supply a replacement wash plant. The plant, designed to cope with 16,000 tonnes per week of sea dredged ballast fulfills the requirements of CEMEX and produces 10mm, 20mm and a concrete sand, with the 20mm being crushed and re-circulated.
This high performance plant features a feed hopper with remote control tipping grid, which feeds by conveyor onto a 16 x 5 full rinser where material is thoroughly washed. Material rejected from the top deck of this screen rejects the entire +20 mm product and delivers this on to a conveyor feeding the cone crusher. This material is then fed back on to the primary feed conveyor for processing.
The + 5mm to 20mm product is also discharged and fed by conveyor onto a 16 x 5 dry sizing screen; with the 10mm and 20mm being stockpiled by conveyors. The -5mm is fed into a Powerscreen Fines Master 120 where it is dewatered. (Renowned for maximum retention of fines and the dryness of the final product, this market leading Fines Master 120 tph machine was specifically requested by CEMEX).
The concrete sand from the Fines Master is then stockpiled via conveyor, with foul water pumped into the CEMEX existing water management plant for conditioning. The clarified water is then pumped back for continued washing.
As CEMEX did not want to leave a supply gap within the South London market project turn around time was crucial. The DUO capability of being able to provide a high performance processing plant when needed was a major advantage to CEMEX who can now provide their mass market with clean aggregate. Rigorous health and safety demands applied by CEMEX also represented a key issue addressed by DUO Equipment.
