MB Crusher’s MB-S18 Screening Buckets Boost Efficiency in Meghalaya's Mining & Road Projects
In the heart of Meghalaya’s bustling mining and road infrastructure sectors, a local contractor is transforming project execution by deploying MB Crusher’s MB-S18 screening buckets. Mounted on Komatsu PC210 excavators, these advanced screening units are delivering exceptional efficiency, precise material sorting, and notable environmental advantages across diverse infrastructure and mining operations.
By integrating two MB-S18 screening buckets into their fleet, the contractor has significantly streamlined material processing workflows. The high-capacity screeners allow for on-site precision screening, eliminating the need for multiple processing stages and reducing logistical complexities.
In demanding mining applications, the MB-S18 units screen excavated material directly at the quarry face, producing accurate 20mm and 30mm sizes without relying on fixed screening plants. This innovation not only minimizes hauling requirements but also accelerates production cycles, offering substantial cost and time savings.
"What once took multiple steps and machines is now done with a single excavator, a single operator, and an MB screening bucket," shared the project manager, highlighting the significant reduction in equipment and labor.
The versatility of the MB-S18 extends far beyond mining; on a recent road upgrade project, the contractor faced the common challenge of segregating old asphalt from soil. The screening bucket rose to the occasion, cleanly separating reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) from soil, preventing contamination and ensuring both materials are immediately reusable for base layers or earthworks, minimizing waste and maximizing resource utilization.
This adoption of the MB-S18 screeners has unlocked a cascade of benefits for the Meghalaya-based contractor, including boosted on-site productivity with less reliance on separate crushing and screening units, superior material accuracy providing consistent 20mm and 30mm fractions, significant waste reduction especially in road projects through clean segregation, reduced costs from lower fuel consumption and transportation expenses, and considerable environmental gains with less landfill disposal and reduced emissions.
The MB-S18 is engineered for robust performance, perfectly suited for excavators in the 20–35-ton range, making it an ideal match for popular models like the Komatsu PC210. Its innovative design features a rotating conical drum with modular, replaceable screening panels, allowing for quick adjustments to different mesh sizes based on project specifications.
From blasted rock to reclaimed asphalt, these units handle a wide array of materials with high output and low maintenance, a crucial factor for demanding Indian job sites. "We’re now working smarter across both sectors, mining and roads. The buckets do more than expected, and they’ve paid for themselves in operational savings," a senior team member proudly stated, emphasizing the tangible return on investment.
This compelling success story further solidifies MB Crusher India's reputation for delivering adaptable, high-performance attachments that seamlessly integrate into the diverse landscape of Indian infrastructure and mining projects, empowering contractors to simplify complex tasks, enhance efficiency, and ultimately, boost profitability.
