Rocktec custom-built a fully road legal mobile jaw plant for Road Metals Co Ltd, engineered to handle New Zealand’s rugged quarry environments. The plant offers flexibility, quick setup, and smooth integration with Road Metals’ existing jaw crusher and downstream systems.
Project Overview: Mobile Jaw Plant for Road Metals
- Client: Road Metals Co Ltd
- Location: South Island, New Zealand
- Industry: Quarrying / Mobile Crushing
- Scope: Design and build of a road legal mobile jaw plant with integrated scalping and conveyors
The Challenge: A Mobile Crusher Built for NZ Conditions
Road Metals needed a mobile jaw plant that could handle heavy loads and harsh conditions. It had to be legally transportable, easily serviceable, and compatible with their existing 32” x 20” jaw crusher. The system also needed to support stockpiling and easy screening of scalps.
Rocktec’s Solution: Road-Ready Mobile Crushing Plant
To meet these needs, Rocktec delivered a compact, heavy-duty plant featuring:
- Rocktec Avalanche 8’ x 4’ Double Deck Scalping Screen with rubber and wire deck panels
- 750mm fold-out side discharge conveyor for efficient scalping material handling
- 900mm fold-out primary conveyor to deliver crushed product downstream or to stockpile
- 32” x 20” jaw crusher compatibility with direct feed from the screen’s top deck
- Walkways on both sides and across the jaw for safer, faster maintenance access
The entire system sits on tandem axles with folding conveyors, making it fast to transport and simple to deploy across multiple sites.
Key Benefits
- Road Legal Transport: Built for mobility without disassembly or pilot vehicle escort.
- Quick Setup: Folding conveyors and a compact layout make deployment fast and efficient.
- Efficient Scalping: The screen separates material before crushing, improving productivity.
- Low Maintenance: Full walkways make routine checks and servicing easier and safer.
- Adaptable: Designed to slot into Road Metals’ existing operations with minimal changes.
Conclusion: Built to Move, Made to Perform
This mobile jaw plant shows Rocktec’s ability to combine mobility, strength, and simplicity in a field-ready crushing solution. Road Metals now has a powerful mobile unit that delivers dependable performance while staying easy to maintain and move.
