Swapan Das, the Managing Director of Keestracks Indian venture eTrack Crushers, added. "The Machines from the Indian Factory shall be re-engineered for Indian Applications, Rock Characters, our Climate and Operation Methods while keeping their unique characters intact which has made Keestrack as the fastest growing Mobile Crushing Plant company at this time; The reason why we chose Neemrana is because we have a sound vendor base in the region catering to a large number of heavy Construction & Mining equipment manufacturers like the JCB India and Metso, along with many allied sub-system manufacturing companies like Conveyors, Hydraulic Components, Castings and Rubber Parts"

According to Swapan Das: "Our tracked solutions deliver lowest cost per ton produced and a significantly higher availability. Machines are now required to be set up fast, must be available for continuous production and highly flexible for multi-mode operations to optimize between changing demands at various stages of the Project as project completion times have become very tight. Beside being a zero emission system, A unique feature of our hybrid design is our Non-Stop System and the drop box technology in the main engine. The engine power pack comes as a separate, alternate drop off engine unit. In case of any major repairs in the engine that can be easily dismounted and transported to the workshop. The plant can function normally with electricity feed from the grid / Gensets. The High quality components, efficient power transmission and advanced design features offer more efficient performance. Plus, the plant’s state-of-the-art design features, Telematics and intelligent system that delivers real time data on the working parameters of the plant to operators and owners."
