Take Me to Church…

Contractor and waste recycling specialist MJ Church is using a host of Molson supplied machines to help reduce the amount of construction and demolition waste sent to landfill. They have taken an aggregates specification Hyundai HL760-9A loading shovel to work on its recycling operations alongside an OM Keestrack Apollo jaw crusher as well as a Hyundai HL740-9A waste specification loading shovel and Hyundai R55W-9A wheeled excavator.

The R55W-9A and the Hl740-9A will work at the company’s recycling yard at Warmley on the outskirts of Bristol while the HL760-9A and Apollo jaw crusher will be based either on site at MJ Church’s major projects or back at the Warmley depot.

Molson area sales manager Luke Mercer explained: “They had a 7.5tonne machine working on the waste pile over the years and had replaced that with a 10tonne machine. The team there have found this too big but even though the R55W-9A is only a 6tonne machine it has a similar reach and grab performance to those larger pieces of kit. There is no drop in output as it’s so nimble.” As well as its high performance the solid tyres of the wheeled excavator have the added bonus that they will not damage the reinforced concrete slab at the yard when the machine is tracking.

The new OM Keestrack Apollo jaw crusher features an 1100 x 700mm jaw size and is perfect for recycling construction and demolition waste. It is easily transported with a 15.8m transport length and 2.55m transport width and can be set up quickly and easily, ensuring the machine is operational within minutes of arriving on site. The 42tonne machine is extremely user friendly and features an automated feeding system as well as a remote control operation enabling it to be controlled from the cab of the loading excavator. Luke said: “The OM Keestrack Apollo has exceptional fuel efficiency to help reduce costs. Its remote control and non-stop crushing system means it can be operated directly by the excavator driver, making the whole operation more efficient. Its ability to produce a genuine Type 1 material, it is the perfect machine for MJ Church as it can work either in its yard or out on site.”
