Built for Australia, Built to Last!

Powerscreen has emerged as a leader in the Australian quarrying industry with its innovative crushing and screening equipment tailored to meet the unique demands of the Australian market. Australia’s diverse landscapes, rugged terrain, and varying environmental conditions pose specific challenges to quarrying operations, requiring high-performance, reliable, and versatile machinery. Powerscreen has invested heavily in R&D to deliver a product line that withstands these harsh conditions and optimises productivity, efficiency, and safety for Australian quarries.

High-performance crushing for maximum output

Powerscreen’s crushers are built to deliver high throughput, critical in the high-volume operations typical of Australian quarries. Among the most popular are the Powerscreen Premiertrak Jaw Crushers and Maxtrak Cone Crushers, which are designed for durability and consistency. The Premiertrak 760, for instance, offers a robust design to handle hard rock and abrasive materials – making it ideal for quarries in Australia that frequently process granite, basalt, and iron ore. These crushers incorporate advanced hydraulics and wear-resistant materials that ensure longer operational life, reducing downtime and maintenance costs for operators.

With high production capacity as a focal point, Powerscreen crushers are equipped with features like hydraulic adjustment and overload protection. These features allow rapid changes in settings, optimising the machines to handle variations in feed material without compromising performance. This flexibility is particularly valuable in regions like Western Australia, where mining sites often vary in rock hardness and composition, demanding adaptable equipment.

Precision screening for improved product quality

Screening plays an essential role in quarrying, ensuring that the end product meets size, shape, and quality specifications. Powerscreen’s Chieftain and Warrior series are highly regarded for their screening precision, which is especially useful for Australian quarries producing materials for road construction, concrete, and asphalt. Powerscreen’s screens employ adjustable screen boxes and a high-frequency drive system, allowing a wide range of materials to be processed efficiently. The adaptability and precision screening help produce uniform, high-quality aggregates, essential in meeting stringent Australian quality standards.

The Warrior series, in particular, is designed for heavy-duty applications and can handle larger feed sizes and high volumes of material. This is crucial in Australian quarries where heavy and abrasive materials like limestone, granite, and sandstone are common. The machines are equipped with a range of screen media to handle various applications, from fine sand to coarse aggregates, giving operators a high degree of control over the final product.

Environmental and safety considerations

In response to increasing environmental regulations in Australia, Powerscreen has focused on integrating fuel-efficient engines and low-emission technology across its range of equipment. Hybrid models are also available, allowing quarry operators to reduce their carbon footprint and fuel consumption, aligning with the country’s push toward sustainable practices in the mining and quarrying sectors.

Safety is another area in which Powerscreen has excelled. Features like remote-control operation, enhanced visibility, and automated sensors for monitoring equipment performance streamline operations and improve worker safety, reducing the risk of accidents. For the Australian market, which prioritises worker health and safety, these features make Powerscreen’s equipment particularly attractive.

Engineered for excellence

Powerscreen’s crushing and screening equipment has firmly positioned itself as a market leader in Australia’s quarrying industry. By developing adaptable, durable, and efficient machines, Powerscreen meets the demands of high-volume, quality-conscious quarry operations across Australia. Their commitment to environmental standards and worker safety further sets them apart in an industry where these values are becoming increasingly important.

For Australian operators looking to maximise productivity while adhering to environmental and safety standards, Powerscreen’s range of equipment provides a powerful solution built to perform in even the most demanding conditions.
