RSS1415 Pinfra took delivery of two Metso Minerals Lokotrack LT125 mobile crushers and these have now clocked up 30,000 working hours. Nonetheless, there is still plenty of life in these machines and while the newly acquired LT140 jaw crusher takes on the main production role, the older units will be refurbished and serviced.
Pinfra's new 110tonne Lokotrack LT140 crusher is the first of its kind in Latin America and its delivery and set up was coordinated by Metso's Mexican dealer Grupo Sitsa.
Grupo Pinfra operations director Luis Aspe was on site during the delivery of the unit to the quarry and said that the experience gained when installing the LT125s helped to ensure the set up of the new LT140 was successful.
The new Lokotrack is currently being used to process around 2.5million tonnes per year of basalt with a feed size of 250 to 750mm in one of Pinfra's quarries. Material produced by the new crusher will be used by other divisions with Grupo Pinfra for road construction, precast concrete and civil construction schemes.RSS
