Blue Southern agree their first Terex Washing Systems deal

Blue Southern agree their first TWS deal with long-standing customer Tazrock

Established in 2016, Tazrock is a specialist crushing and screening company supplying the quarrying, construction and recycling industries. Their services include machine hire and sale, crushing, screening, plant maintenance, supply of quarried and recycled aggregates and bespoke fabrication and welding solutions.

Having been a long-standing customer of Blue Machinery Southern, Tazrock have run Powerscreen machines within their crushing and screening operation for many years. The company recently took on an exciting new project which required the installation of a new wash plant. Having gotten word that Blue had become new dealers for Terex Washing Systems (TWS), the company opted to work with Blue Southern and TWS on the new plant. The primary objective of the plant will be to wash dirty quarry overburden, with the key pieces of equipment consisting of a Terex AggreSand 206, a Terex AggreScrub 150 and a Terex Filter Press 2015. All of which have been manufactured by Terex in Ireland. The AggreSand 206 is a highly versatile integrated washing station with outstanding performance capability across a wide range of materials and the ability to offer up to 5 washed and sized products. The no-compromise design ethos adapted ensures maximum serviceability and performance despite the highly integrated and compact nature of the system with numerous innovative features including easily removed pumps, ready access to screening media and intuitive controls. Terex’s AggreScrub 150 produces up to 4 grades of washed, screened aggregate. Key benefits for customers include improved wear characteristics, reduced costs, and the ability to effectively scrub aggregates and float out clays/silts/lights on one chassis. In addition, there are also a number of paddle options available depending on customers’ needs, including the traditional hard wearing AR blades in 15 and 30mm variances as well as a new high manganese steel option. This project will include the first Terex filter press installed in the UK. The Terex AquaClear filter press range are a high performance, side beam plate and frame filter press designed specifically for demanding aggregate, mining and recycling applications. The heavyduty construction and high-pressure slurry pump technology combined with optimally sized hydraulic rams ensures maximum performance and reliability, maximising water recovery, higher production and faster cycle times. We spoke to Tazrock’s Director, Jonathan Lewis, who explained why he chose Blue and TWS for the new project: “We already have a great working relationship with Blue Machinery Southern and Terex through our crushing and screening company. We made the decision to buy a Terex wash plant because we know that Terex’s products offer good reliability and quality. They also offered us a short lead time on the plant, and all being well it should be in by early 2023. We’re looking forward to working with Blue on this project and we’re excited to get the plant up and running.”
