Client Background
Our client, a leading construction company in Ethiopia, required a reliable gravel crushing plant to supply high-quality aggregates for local infrastructure projects. They needed a production capacity of 200 tons per hour to meet growing demand in road and building construction.
Project Overview
- Location: Ethiopia
- Material: Gravel (hard, abrasive rock)
- Capacity: 200 TPH
- Final Products: 0-5mm, 5-10mm, 10-20mm, 20-30mm aggregates
Challenges
- Hard Material Processing: Gravel is highly abrasive, requiring durable crushing equipment.
- High Production Demand: The plant needed to sustain 200 TPH output with minimal downtime.
- Strict Gradation Requirements: Multiple aggregate sizes were needed for different construction applications.
- Remote Location: Limited maintenance services in the region necessitated reliable and easy-to-maintain machinery.
