A joint venture with Lippmann Milwaukee, TPS (our parent company) and ABC engineered, designed, fabricated, shipped, installed, wired and automated this 1,000 ton per hour state of the art Concrete Recycling plant. After two Lippmann Jaw primary crushers the material starts its recycle process with two 60” tricked belt conveyors with two 60” electro magnets. The material then feeds onto two 60’ long picking conveyors located in an air conditioned two story enclosures that was a part of this total package. More processing then takes place as the material goes up to the dual 8’ x 20’ DD screens. The oversize product is conveyed to dual 4’ cone crushers seeing another magnet separator on the way. This re-crushed material then goes into a 100 ton surge bin which feeds back to the dual screens, closing the circuit. The finish product goes to a tele-a-stacker via mobile piggy-back conveyors.
This plant was commissioned and started full production in May of 2010.

A complete TurnKey installation that went into full operation in the spring of 2008. This 1,250 ton per hour tertiary limestone crushing and screening plant features an 8’ x 20’ scalping screen along with dual 8’ x 24’ finish product screens, an S-6800 secondary cone crusher and dual 4’ finish cones. The finish cones are choke feed from 60 ton surge hoppers with belt feeders and the S-6800 takes material direct from the top and second decks of the scalping screen. A total of 22 conveyors and 7 radial stackers ranging from 18’ to 378’ feed the crushers, screens, surge bins and stock pile the seven products. Our parent company, TurnKey Processing Solutions (TPS) acted as the General Contractor for the project and managed all the concrete design and placement, erection and installation of all equipment including the crushers and screens, all electrical wiring and automation, testing, start up and commissioning.

750 ton per hour limestone plant (2004- Jackson, WI): Plant was completely designed and fabricated by ABC, with the exception of screens and crushers. Customer handled all concrete and erection work. Entire project cost just over $800,000, including 2 screen towers with all required chute work, 15 conveyors ranging in length from 20 to 190 feet, and crusher supports designed to withstand the loads. System contains 7 cable hung conveyors with walkway access to the heads (as shown in top photo) and a vertical curve conveyor. All load calculations were sent to the customer in plenty of time to pour before erection. All weldments were sent in very large pieces to expedite erection.

Designed and fabricated plant (2004- Naperville, IL): Entire system, (all of which was fabricated by ABC, with the exception of screens and crushers) cost just under $7,000,000, including 2 screen towers with all chute work and hoppers, 20 conveyors ranging in length from 12 to 300 feet, all concrete design and installation, and all erection work. Customer had final approval on all subcontractors hired and found our erectors so easy to work with that they were hired to do additional jobs.
