PoRTAble PlAnTs Select the Best plants since we founded B G about eight years ago and each has performed well so we felt that the larger plant would offer us even greater uptime and availability says Roland Beck one of four B G partners and co owners Also important to Beck is the fact that the 5066 Tracker offers unique trailer free transport as it is outfitted with its own removable bogie axle While moving conventional plants may require three or more truckloads the Tracker requires no trailers or multiple truckloads and there is no need to remove any components from the unit before transport Without the need and expense of a separate trailer we will be able to costeffectively relocate the new plant to any of our outlying pits which are up to 40 miles from our main pit he says In spring 2010 the new Inertia 5066 Tracker was delivered to B Gs largest pit a site located near Pettus Texas According to Beck the timing couldnt have been better as stockpiles were dwindling and the crew needed to make up for lost time Operating between five and seven days per week plant output topped 600 tons per hour 5000 tons per day and 95000 tons per month The production capacity is ideal and we can always crank it up and get a little bit more Weve really been able to keep the trucks turning in getting the base material out to the various construction sites Beck says Good fit B Gs veteran plant manager and his five man crew report a number of factors that make the 5066 Tracker a good fit for the operation Tops among them are its larger feed hopper and massive variable speed drive vibrating grizzly feeder While most conventional units offer 8 cu yd hoppers that may require hopper extension wings the 5066 Tracker features a 14 cu yd non heaping hopper The crew says the unit will accept much larger feed and can be used in conjunction with a larger loader Also its large 60 in x 18 ft variablespeed drive vibrating grizzly feeder allows them to control material flow par Products of Superior Reliability Unmatched Quality Highly Energy Efficient Available from Applied Industrial Technologies Applied com 1 866 482 4145 Booth 12345 Authorized distributor South Hall Level 1 42 PIT QUARRY February 2011 www pitandquarry com
