INTERNATIONAL SUCCESS FOR FINEDOOR
Stevin Rock is a UAE owned and European managed company with exacting standards for quality of product, environmental awareness, safety and a trading record that spans more than 25 years. From their quarries at Khor Khwair, Al Gaill and Kadrah, Ras Al Khaimah in the United Arab Emirates the company produces a range of high quality aggregates and rock products from naturally occurring limestone and gabbro deposits.
Their production capabilities allow them to produce a large selection and grade of products; they can also facilitate delivery by sea transport via their own harbour, tugs and barges sited at Khor Khwair.
As the leading quarry operator with a workforce of 600 it operates three hard rock quarries supplying coastal protection rock, aggregates and sand for both the UAE and the Gulf wide markets; it was the first quarrying company in the Middle East to be awarded the ISO 9001:2000 quality standard.
Current market demand is phenomenal with Stevin Rock supplying material to the Palm Island and World Island projects, Burj Dubai (tallest residential building in the world) and terminal three at Dubai airport.
In a joint venture with Stevin Rock, Morley based company Finedoor have further established their international credentials with an ongoing project of some substance to increase production capacity to allow the company to cope with the increasing demand.
Faced with a project that had to be designed and built from the ground up, Finedoor in conjunction with Stevin Rock agreed the original concept and designed the layout and arrangement of the crushing and screening plant at the site. Additionally they also supplied all the foundation plans and detailed drawings for the support structures including a mechanical build list for all the conveyors for which Finedoor supplied the idlers, motors, drums and gearboxes.
Material for all fabrications and structures was sourced locally in co-operation with local companies and built to drawings provided by Finedoor who also supplied all the new screens including a heavy-duty grizzly. Two crushers and existing screens were incorporated as reconditioned items and integrated into the plant layout as specified.
The crushing and screening plant was successfully commissioned to schedule in June 2003; but due to increasing demand and existing production at full capacity a second identical system was supplied and was built alongside the original crushing plant using all new equipment. With demand constantly increasing a third system has now been supplied and is being installed.
Crushing and Screening at Al Gaill
The deposit at Al Gaill is dolomitic limestone and material is produced to a BS882 grading for concrete aggregate.
The plant is fed by dump truck with as blasted material into a 70 tonne Finedoor designed feed hopper complete with lump stone chute and chain curtain. The primary crusher is a mobile C125B with a grizzly bypass; this crusher is set to produce throughput of approximately 600 tph. The material then passes onto a transfer conveyor into a 100 tonne surge bin and is subsequently fed to a second transfer conveyor into a Finedoor 4.2 x 1.8m heavy duty grizzly which separates -75mm waste material, this is then conveyed to a reconditioned Finedoor two-deck screen which feeds onto a conveyor into a 250 tonne waste bin holding 0-15mm material.
The heavy duty grizzly provides the crusher path and feeds onto a transfer conveyor into a reconditioned APK 1615 impact crusher, material is crushed into 0-70mm and fed by a conveyor onto a 7.00 x 2.40m two-deck screen from which the oversize +25 material is fed onto a recirculatory conveyor via a 120tonne surge bin into the product shaping VSI crusher. Product from the VSI is conveyed to a reconditioned 5.0 x 2.0m double-deck screen which is working in close circuit; underflow 0-25 is directed to a common conveyor collecting from the 7.0 x 2.0m and 5.0 x 2.0m two-deck screens.
This product is then fed to two screens mounted in parallel, a reconditioned 6.00 x 2.40m and a 6.0 x 1.80m two-deck screen, final graded products from both screens are fed onto three conveyors supplying three 250 tonne bunkers holding 0.5/+5-10/+10-20mm. Each bunker has flow control doors which discharge into an endless stream of incoming 90 tonne capacity articulated trailers.
All the screens and crushers are enclosed in sheeted buildings to ensure dust nuisance is kept to a minimum. Additionally, a two-way door from the screen feeds onto a stockpile conveyor of +20-40mm. This material is stockpiled conventionally as the large size material has very little dust. This material is loaded by shovel into 90 tonne articulated trailers for despatch.
This new plant was successfully commissioned by Finedoor in December 2003.
However with further demands on production demand a third identical system was ordered and this was despatched to the site in January 2004. This latest system will achieve the Dubai municipality specification requirement of a material elongation of 25%.
The joint venture has enabled Finedoor to design, build and install an effective crushing and screening plant that will keep Stevin Rock at the forefront of quarrying operations in the Gulf as we progress through the 21st century.
