New asphalt screen for CEMEX Salford ensures future production.
Thursday, 19th November 2009

BG Europa (UK) Ltd has recently installed a Finedoor Ritescreen Multideck Vibrating Screen on the Barber Greene BA2250 batch plant operated by CEMEX UK, building materials provider, at Hope Street, Salford, Manchester. The five and a half deck inclined vibrating screen measured 5.0m long x 1.70m wide and featured the following specifications:

 

• 10mm thick rigid side plates with heavy duty bolted in decks.
• Single shaft vibrating unit with two self aligning spherical roller bearings.
• Oil bath screen bearing housing including oil cooler unit.
• Removable imbalance weights.
• Alloy steel shaft for reliability and strength.

 

BG Europa designed and fabricated the screen dust housing which features bolt on panels and a discharge hood with folding division plates to allow access to screen meshes. A replacement screen base frame was also designed to suit the existing hot stone bins and included a single 22.0 kW EFF1 electric motor drive.

The screen was assembled on its base frame within the housing prior to delivery to site to speed the installation process. In addition to modifications such as the installation of an extra section of hot elevator and ductwork alterations required to fit the screen; BG Europa also modified the surrounding platforms, walkways and handrails to ensure that safe access to all equipment was provided.

Installation was performed and completed ahead of schedule within a short time frame to minimise disruption to CEMEX customers. Commissioning was undertaken in co-operation with Finedoor and full plant production resumed on schedule.

Commenting on the project, Bryn Williams (Site Manager), said, "We were highly delighted with the screen.  The BG Europa installation team worked in a safe and efficient manner and completed the installation in the timescale allotted."
