Rocktec partnered with Perry Aggregates Ltd to deliver a purpose-built continuous mixing plant at their Tauhei quarry site in New Zealand. This high-performance solution was engineered for both efficiency and mobility. As a result, it was designed to handle demanding aggregate processing requirements with ease.
Project Overview: Custom Materials Handling Solution for Perry Aggregates
- Client: Perry Aggregates Ltd
- Location: Tauhei, New Zealand
- Industry: Quarrying & Aggregates
- Scope: Design and manufacture of a high-capacity mixing system
- Completion: 2011
The Challenge: Improving Mixing Output and Site Mobility
Perry Aggregates Ltd needed a heavy-duty solution to improve the speed, consistency, and mobility of their quarry operations. Specifically, their goal was to implement a system capable of processing 250 tonnes of material per hour. Furthermore, it needed to be easy to relocate across their Tauhei site.
Rocktec’s Solution: Skid-Mounted Continuous Mixing Plant
To solve this, Rocktec engineered and delivered a tailored continuous mixing plant that met all performance and mobility requirements. The system included:
- A 20m³ feed hopper with a 900mm belt feeder
- A rugged pugmill lined with rubber and UHMWPE for wear protection
- All components skid-mounted for efficient transport and setup
Importantly, the mixing plant was designed to minimise downtime, handle tough aggregate conditions, and maintain a high output rate throughout continuous operation.
Continuous Mixing Plant Implementation Process: From Concept to Commissioning
- Design: Engineering teams scoped the plant to Perry’s operating targets and site layout.
- Build: High-performance materials were used to ensure durability in abrasive conditions.
- Assembly: A compact skid-mounted design enabled faster deployment with minimal disruption.
- Testing: Final commissioning confirmed output capacity and optimal material flow.
Results and Benefits
- High Throughput: The system reliably delivered 250 tph processing rates, increasing overall productivity.
- Operational Flexibility: Skid-frame construction allowed rapid relocation as needed, saving time during site adjustments.
- Reduced Maintenance: Durable components helped cut downtime and extend equipment lifespan.
Conclusion: Built to Perform in the Field
The successful delivery of this continuous mixing plant is a clear example of Rocktec’s engineering expertise in the quarrying and aggregates sector. It combined power, reliability, and practical mobility. Therefore, it sets a strong benchmark for future materials handling projects in similarly demanding environments.
