Primary/Secondary Crushing Scales / Automation Concrete & Asphalt Recycling

by Virginia Varela-Eyre

Growing from a single 0.5 acre quarry to a three quarry operation in the period of seven years, Hamilton Aggregates shows how vision, expertise and the right support, as well as equipment, can make a family business in Arkansas a leading supplier of aggregates Genia and Edward Hamilton are excited about the future of Hamilton Aggregates.

Hamilton Aggregates’ began in February 2006, when Edward and Genia Hamilton decided it was the right time to set up their own quarrying business.

Edward’s twelve years in the industry as quarry planner, with a history of designing the most efficient operation processes for his clients, provided him with the expertise and the vision to see that given the right economic opportunities, the Hamilton’s could run a very profitable venture. It was then that they acquired the first of three operations that make up their business today. Hamilton Aggregates include the Bonds quarry, located in Clinton, AR; the Greers Ferry quarry, located in Higden, AR and Prior Mountain quarry, located in Quitman, AR. Bonds Quarry When the Hamiltons first started, the Bonds quarry had a plant consisting of an Extec (now Sandvik) C12+ mobile jaw crusher and an E7 mobile scalper. These were rented from Brian Costello at Crushing Tigers. Crushing Tigers is the local distributor of Sandvik mobile crushers and screeners.

The early combination of the Extec (now Sandvik) C12+ jaw crusher, an E7 scalper, an S5 Doublescreen and an X44 cone crusher, allowed the site to produce 360,000 tons in 2007. During 2008, they added an extra jaw crusher and scalper, which allowed them to expand the operation an extra five acres. In 2008, they produced 400,000 tons.

Two thousand nine was a challenging year for all aggregate producers throughout the USA, and much like others, the Hamiltons saw their production decline to 300,000 tons. However, Edward and Genia’s focus on efficient production processes resulted in commercial prospects positive enough for them to open up an extra 10 acres in the quarry. The Hamilton’s confidence came from their understanding of the quarry business developed during Edward’s years as a planning consultant.

Early on, Edward had developed a 20 year plan.

This included acquiring more equipment to supply varying and growing demand. He realized that mobile units could be moved to the source of material, and be quickly set up to process it on site.

With that strategy in mind, Edward expanded his operation using mobile equipment making it more productive. The advantage of plant mobility alone would allow the quarry operation to save the time and money of needing haul trucks and operators to trans-

port shot rock to a stationary primary crusher.

Furthermore, with the different models available in Sandvik’s mobile equipment product line, machines could be put to work in different combinations to meet differing customers’ material requirements.

More importantly, this mobility and flexibility suited Edward’s LEAN processing approach. With Brian’s guidance, Edward purchased his first complete set of mobiles. They included a Sandvik mobile QJ341 jaw crusher, a QE440 scalper, a

The Sandvik machines are the main material processing plant at Bonds. “There is a misconception that you cannot use the mobiles as the main equipment in a quarry,” says Brian Costello. “These machines can be very productive and are very cost effective.”

The user friendliness of the machines contributes to their lower operating costs. Since crushers and screeners are designed for ease of operation, one operator can run the entire system. As Edward Hamilton himself states: “These mobiles are quality machines. They provide us with lower operating costs and high production for their size.” Aggregates produced at Bonds include: 1-inch used in concrete; 1/2-inch asphalt chip; 3/16-inch asphalt dust; 11/2-inch road base and 4-12-inch for erosion control.

Greers Ferry Quarry The Greers Ferry quarry, in Higden, is another example of how the combination of experience and knowledge of the customer’s needs helped the Hamilton’s business to grow. They acquired this site to supply material for the construction of a bridge for the Highway Department of Arkansas. A supply of high quality, competitively priced aggregates was crucial in securing the winning bid. With the low material transportation costs because of the close proximity of the quarry to the construction site, Edward knew that he could provide the required high quality material at competitive prices. He knew that the plant’s output had to be planned from the blasting stages to make this strategy work.

As Edward explains, “For every nickel I spend (blasting), I save a dime in the crushing.” With that in mind, they designed tighter blasting patterns. Even though that can be costly, they can also eventually save money on secondary crushing. Accordingly, they ran a Sandvik QJ340 jaw crusher (predecessor to the current QJ341) in tandem with a QE340 scalper, crushing and screening limestone at 24-inches. That was used for the foundation of the bridge, in addition to base, gabion and riprap.

The need for a steady supply of aggregates from the Greer Ferry quarry required that Hamilton’s also have reliable aftermarket support for their equipment. As Genia explains, “Having good customer support has made us competitive in this market.

Getting good customer service from Crushing Tigers has been essential. Knowing we can pick up the phone, and speak to somebody who knows about crushers, and our business, like Pat Doab, or Brian Costello, is a big thing.”

“Crushing Tigers offers the full lineup of Sandvik crushers and screeners,” adds Edward. “That helps us to be more efficient at running of our operation from the after sales point of view. That is because we speak to the same set of people, who already know our needs, and our business. The equipment has proved to be highly reliable. We found after discussing our production needs with Crushing Tigers, we run the machines for nine hours each day, and then run a preventative maintenance schedule to ensure reliability and maximum productivity.”

Pryor Mountain Quarry Hamilton’s Pryor Mountain quarry, located in Quitman, supplies material on demand, to the local market. Since the Hamilton’s can move their mobile crushers and screeners between the different quarries quickly, they can begin production with a very quick startup. This flexibility allows Hamilton Aggregates to be highly responsive to different customers’ needs.

Over the last seven years Edward and Genia’s vision has continued to materialize. Their efforts have enabled Hamilton Aggregates to grow from a single 0.5-acre quarry, to three separate, highly productive, efficient and profitable quarries. Hamilton Aggregates’ combined operations have produced over two million tons of material, supplying a customer base that has grown to include gas industries, road asphalt companies, and even nearby counties. They have also successfully diversified into a growing contracting business that they started in 2009.

Together, these factors have helped Hamilton Aggregates’ provide their customers with what they want, when they want it, and where they want it.

The tandem combination of the QJ340 Jaw Crusher and the QE340 Scalper is right up next to the shot rock where an excavator can load the material into the crusher with ease.

Crushing Tigers operates as the official Sandvik distributor for both the Arkansas and Oklahoma markets for mobile construction equipment.

Crushing Tigers, a DBA for Costello Doab Enterprises LLC, is a legally registered company in the states of Texas, Arkansas and Oklahoma.

Partners, Brian Costello and Pat Doab, began their careers at the Extec (now Sandvik) factory in the UK. Together, they have a combined 20 plus years’ experience in the crushing and screening industry. Additionally both have 5-6 years experience in project management, manufacturing, process and industrial engineering roles within large multinational companies.

Pat Doab says: “Working with Edward and Genia has been extremely satisfactory. We know that the sale of the machine is just the beginning and that a reliable after sales support is key to maximizing uptime and therefore productivity. Hamilton Aggregates’ knowledge and innovative planning

complements the efficiency of the Sandvik mobile range.”

Crushing Tigers are focused on customer satisfaction. In addition to offering high quality new and used equipment at very competitive pricing, they also offer Lean Six Sigma Process improvement consultation and a team of knowledgeable engineers to assist their customers.

Wisconsin Mining Association study identifies best practices in other states, concludes Wisconsin needs to modernize its mining laws MADISON — Wisconsin Mining Association (WMA) released today a study done for the organization by international mineral industry consultant Behre Dolbear on how other states have managed to create good mining jobs while honoring their environmental responsibilities.

Testifying at a Wisconsin State Senate Select Committee on Mining hearing, Tim Sullivan, former president and CEO of mining equipment manufacturer Bucyrus International and chair of the WMA said, “Investors, mining companies, federal, state and local regulators, policy makers and tribal governments across the nation have demonstrated that it is possible to achieve a reasonable and responsible balance that yields good jobs, much needed tax revenues and welcome profits. Was it always

easy? No. Did everyone always get exactly what they wanted?

Probably not. Did they sell out their environmental heritage or their take a pass on their regulatory responsibilities? Absolutely not!”

The newly released study identifies five hallmarks of modern mining best practices in the United States, including: 1. recognizing that federal, state, tribal and local governments all have a role, and the process works best when the state is the lead and coordinating agency; 2. regulations work best when they provide clear pathways with precise environmental standards and objectives; 3. permitting and enforcement procedures work best when they contain reasonable and predictable timelines based on the scope, magnitude and complexity of the project; 4. in best practice states, the mining industry is engaged with state legislators and regulators to ensure that best management practices, most current technologies and recog-

nized characterizations are incorporated into legislation, regulations and site planning standards; and 5. it is important that the process be transparent and actively include all stakeholders early in the process to resolve possible conflicts.

“It is clear,” Sullivan said, “that Wisconsin’s current mining laws do not reflect either the technological advances developed and implemented in the mining industry over the past quarter of a century, or the regulatory advances that now serve as best practices in the United States and elsewhere.

In his testimony, Sullivan highlighted the economic importance of the state’s mineral deposits, telling legislators, that “today, some of the richest mineral deposits in our country lie buried under Wisconsin and thousands of good jobs are buried there with them. Everyone here is familiar with the estimates that suggest that the Gogebic iron ore deposit could

generate more than 3,000 good paying jobs in the Iron and Ashland counties area. Wisconsin is also endowed with known deposits of zinc, copper and gold and prospective deposits of nickel. How many jobs are waiting in those sites?”

Sullivan indicated that seizing these two opportunities is now the focus of the Wisconsin Mining Association. “We look forward to working with environmental engineers, regulators, conservationists, legal experts, representatives of the mining industry and policy makers to ensure our laws provide clear pathways with precise standards and objectives, contain reasonable and predictable timelines, and do not create unnecessary road blocks that prevent responsible mining from occurring in Wisconsin,” the WMA Chair said.

Sullivan agreed with Governor Walker that the first priority should be the passage of a ferrous mining bill that could encourage investors to support the massive research

effort required to permit an iron mine in Northern Wisconsin. Sullivan indicated that the WMA believes that the logical starting point for this effort is the Finance Committee version of AB426, which, he said, “reflects extensive input from experts and the public and which we believe will benefit from the best practice research we presented here today.”

Sullivan concluded his testimony stressing the need for further reforms to encourage the development of the state’s base metal deposits. “A positive and effective response to Wisconsin’s iron mining opportunities is absolutely critical, but there is other work to be done.” he said, “Wisconsin also has rich base metal deposits and action on ferrous mining must be quickly followed up with a focus on modernizing current regulations so that those jobs and brighter economic futures can also be made available to the people of our state.”

The Murrysville Machinery staff welcomed visitors to the First Annual Open House event September 10, 2012. Shown left to right in this photo taken by Andrew Gillman: Joe Sikorsky, Ryan Hauser, Joe Labor, Mike DeFoor, Dwayne Geary, Sam Stimmel, general manager; Pat McBroom, Larry Price and Rod McMahon, president.

Taking advantage of beautiful late summer weather, Rod McMahon, president of Murrysville Machinery Company, LLC (MMC) hosted his company’s inaugural Open House September 10 at their spacious facility in Irwin, PA near Pittsburgh. Displaying several portable crushers, screens and conveyors to highlight MMC’s product lineup, visitors to the September 10 event were able to talk with corporate and dealership representatives to find out more about the product lines available at MMC. Additionally, McMahon welcomed Andrew Gillman of The Road Connection promotional campaign. MMC’s Open House was one of two stops on the final tour of The Road Connection

pickup truck, promoting safe roads and bridges across the U.S. According to McMahon, MMC specializes in heavy equipment sales, rentals and equipment service, which places them in a unique position to meet the needs of the mining, aggregates and construction industries in the region that surrounds this western Pennsylvania complex. His company represents KPIJCI, Screen Machine Industries, HAZEMAG and Aggregates Equipment, Inc., a diverse lineup of all U.S. based companies serving the mining and recycling industries. “We are able to leverage our location and product line, to serve our customers

more effectively,” said McMahon.

“This region is rich in natural resources,” he added.

“With Pittsburgh being the second largest inland port in the U.S., this region sees considerable activities in the very industries that we serve. This gives us the opportunity to meet the needs of those industries.

MMC has been in business for more than 25 years, and with the new ownership team, we are looking to build on what has been established over that period of time.”

McMahon stressed that MMC only offers U.S. made equipment for several reasons. With the increase of foreign products into the U.S. marketplace, the need for high quality service after the sale, relies upon a company’s ability to get replacement parts as quickly as possible. By offering equipment built by U.S. manufacturers, if MMC does not have a part in stock, the needed item can often be shipped from the manufacturer for next day delivery to the customer. This gives MMC service technicians the ability to make needed repairs quickly saving customers costly down time.

Chuck DeNinno of Pittsburgh Demolition, Inc. of Oakmont, PA, said that his company has done business with MMC for many years because they have the equipment that they need, when they need it and their repair service is excellent.

The Road Connection Andrew Gillman, spokesperson for The Road Connection, and driver of the familiar Road Connection pickup truck, said that today’s open house is one of the last stops on the promotion’s 35,000 mile tour. The Road Connection was a promotional campaign, sponsored by KPI-JCI ASTEC Companies, on behalf of NSSGA and its members.

Together, they were traveling nationally to petition Congress for a new, national, long term Highway Construction Funding (Transportation Bill); one that would help the aggregate, the concrete and the highway and road construction industry, all of which have been in recession for the past several years.

Since September 2011, when The Road Connection began in New Orleans, LA at the annual KPI-JCI National Dealer Conference, Gillman and Kurt Paterka, his co-driver and partner in this adventurous odyssey, have visited 39 states. Over that time, they have attended 10 trade shows and 13 dealer events, touching the lives of more than 1.5 million people along the way. Gillman said that for this event, together with MMC, they sent out more than 3000 invitations to the open house as part of The Road Connection appearance.

Gillman said that once his stop at Murrysville Machinery Company was completed, he was headed to Buffalo, NY for one more event, before returning to KPI-JCI headquarters in Yankton, SD for the grand finale: the 2012 KPI-JCI National Dealer’s Conference to be held at company headquarters in late September.

“We want to raise as much awareness as we can,” he said. “The nation is in serious need of repair to its infrastructure. This has been a wonderful way to get the message out.”

For more information on Murrysville Machinery Company, visit their website at www.murrysvillemachinery.com or give them a call at 800-662. 1626.

Andrew Gillman, driver and PR representative for The Road Connection, is on the last leg of the 2012 promotional tour for this industry awareness national tour that has visited 39 states since it began last year in New Orleans, LA. The Road Connection promotion will conclude at the KPI-JCI Dealer's Meeting in Yankton, SD in late September.

Chuck DeNinno of Pittsburgh Demolition, Inc., said that his company has relied on Murrysville Machinery for equipment and service for years.

STANLEY, NC — SENNEBOGEN has expanded its depth of support to dealers and customers with the appointment of Ryan Zenor as regional sales manager for its northeastern sales territories of North America.

Constantino Lannes, president of SENNEBOGEN LLC, announced Zenor’s new position beginning September 1, 2012. “Ryan’s extensive knowledge with material handling equipment and his personal experience through many industry sectors throughout North America make him an excellent fit for our organization,” he said.

Zenor will work closely with SENNEBOGEN distributors and customers in the New England states and in the eastern provinces of Canada, from Manitoba to Nova Scotia. He has completed several weeks of orientation at the SENNEBOGEN training center in Stanley, NC.

CAPITAL EQUIPMENT COMPANY 9714 Ensley Lane Leawood, KS 66206 John Mabry 816-830-6421

A native of Atlanta, GA, Zenor was educated in Meridian, MS, and also launched his career in the equipment industry there. Past assignments include several years serving customers of forestry machines throughout North America, as well as providing regional sales and support to log handling, scrap handling and port facilities for Pierce Pacific.

Heavy machinery service was his first professional experience after earning his business diploma. “I was hired out of college by Blount Equipment. They immediately put me into the field implementing a system retrofit for their remote controlled delimbers — that was a crash course in diesel engines and hydraulics that still serves me well!”

KORTE BROS., INC. 620 W. Cook Rd. Fort Wayne, IN 46825 260-497-0500 email: Beauford@KorteBros.com

Zenor’s time with Blount has provided him with a strong background and deep understanding of the needs and challenges of the market.

“I have always had to compete with SENNEBOGEN in every market,” he reports. “I recognized then how SENNEBOGEN has been able to retain a simple hydraulic design while others have shifted to electronics. I’ve seen how customers appreciate that their mechanics in the yard and the field can work on SENNEBOGEN equipment and keep it running without looking outside for help.”

“I always heard good things about SENNEBOGEN support,” Zenor continues. “It’s all borne out in their training program. This is a family business with a strong sense of family throughout the group, and extends right through to the customers.”

PACA celebrates 30 years of service to Pennsylvania’s Aggregate Industry

by Jon M. Casey For the past 30 years, the Pennsylvania Aggregates and Concrete Association, known to its members and friends as PACA, has served Pennsylvania’s Aggregates and Concrete Industry with a desire to offer a unified voice to the legislature.

They also have worked closely with the Pennsylvania Departments of Transportation, Environmental Protection, Conservation and Natural Resources and Agriculture as well as Penn State University, to help the industry as well. Over time, PACA has represented its more than 200 member companies on mining issues, taxation items, and transportation, air and water regulatory matters as they monitor legislative issues to inform their membership on how to take action on behalf of their industry.

With that in mind, PACA celebrated its “Pearl Anniversary” with a trip to the Antique Auto Museum in Hershey to conclude the first day’s activities at the Hershey Hotel dur-

ing their annual meeting Nov. 13-14, 2012.

Anniversary celebration With the sendoff of a champagne toast by Paul Detweiler, III, chair of the PACA Board of Directors, the group moved its celebration to the Antique Auto Museum at Hershey for a social hour of “Cupcakes and Cocktails.” As part of the celebration, PACA held their First Annual Robert Aichele Honorary Silent Auction benefitting PACA’s Political Action Committee. Hosted by Emcee, Rod Martin of Martin Stone Quarries, the silent auction raised $4,600 though the sale of items donated by PACA Members and Associate Members. Offering all sorts of items including a visit to the Hershey Hotel Spa and premium box seats to Philadelphia Eagles and Philadelphia Flyers sports teams, the inaugural auction was a huge success.

Bob Aichele, for whom the event is named, was on hand to promote the auction. Bob, who retired from Keystone Cement Co., at the age of 82 after 50 years of service to the industry, encouraged members to get involved with local and state political people as another way to benefit their businesses. Bob is known for his past efforts at PACA events, gathering $5 and $10 donations on behalf of the PACA-PAC. This silent auction was established to carry on that tradition in Bob’s honor.

Meeting items During this year’s meeting activities, the group’s attention was fo-

Franklin and Marshall College; and Professor Roger Tutterow, Mercer University’s Stetson School of Business and Economics, members were able to gain insights as to what the future could hold.

Dr. Madonna focused on Pennsylvania politics, since state issues are those that more directly affect PACA members. He said there are two major issues or priorities at the forefront of Pennsylvanian’s thinking. One is the

disrepair of the state infrastructure, which includes roads and bridges, and the other is the $35 to $45 billion public worker and school teacher pension funds, for which there does not

Both of these are issues that the legislature will need to face simultaneously. The problem is how to pay for these two items, not that they simply need to be resolved.

Madonna noted that the Democrats gained three seats in the Senate however both houses still have a Republican majority, with the House having a 112-91 edge. That, coupled with the Governor being a Republican, and who has pledged that he will sign no new taxes into law suggests

that finding an answer to these two issues, could be a challenge, especially since he has already fostered spending cuts in the first two budgets in his administration.

He said that since 2005, new people have replaced 102 of the 203 representatives and 20 of the 50 senators who were up for re-election. “That suggests that the leadership is changing,” he said. “The Republicans are without “a bench” when it comes to those who hold offices that routinely rise to run for Governor when it is time for those elections. Today, all three of the key offices, Attorney General, Auditor General and State Treasurer, were newly elected to office and all three are currently Democrats. He said that this doesn’t bode well for the potential of a Republican holding the Governor’s office in the coming years. Moreover, with those three offices held by Democrats, the tendency for those office holders is to work

against the Governor while their terms overlap.

The outcome of that, remains questionable.

Professor Roger Tutterow, Mercer University’s Stetson School of Business and Economics, attempted to show members why the nation is in recovery even though it doesn’t seem like it. He said by conventional guidelines, we are recovering. That is becasue the recovery is measured by the effects on the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) rather than on the things that we sell.

Meeting Mining Challenges LED fixtures lessen energy consumption and improve productivity

by Nate Klieve and Melissa Stephany These are critical times for the mining industry.

Pressures from government, customers, and other stakeholders continue to build to operate more sustainably. In addition to these challenges and growing regulations, mining and mineral processing companies are looking for ways to reduce escalating energy costs and consumption.

Mineral prices continue to fall forcing mines to operate more efficiently in response to this competitive environment.

Lighting is one of the factors that mines are evaluating as a way to meet these rising demands.

Mining Regulations: A growing trend worldwide Environmental protection standards in the U.S. are some of the most stringent in the world and often serve as models for developing nations.

According to the Southwest Energy Efficiency Project, energy represents more than 15 percent of total production costs in American mining. Industry leaders are beginning to realize the available technologies to better manage energy consumption, costs, supply and pressures from international and national regulations. The use of advanced technologies, including automation, satellite communications, smart sensors and robotics have become more common in mining. Computers and microprocessors are responsible for making machinery more efficient and reliable.

With escalating taxation and the increasing costs and demands of labor, mines are taking every opportunity to remain competitive.

According to a Department of Energy Industrial Technologies report entitled “Mining Industry Bandwidth Study,” the U.S. mining industry consumes approximately 1,246 trillion btu/year (TBtu/yr). This bandwidth analysis estimates that investments in state of the art equipment and

further research could reduce that amount to 579 TBtu/yr. That would be more than a 50 percent decrease in energy consumption. Whatever the motivators, a host of companies are committing to this effort.

LED fixtures and the Mining Industry Mining facilities rely on products that are engineered to perform through extreme temperature variations, high precipitation, excessive

state devices containing no moving parts and no filaments or fragile glass to break, thus eliminating the risk of damage during transportation, installation and operation, even in the toughest environments. In addition, a standard LED is rated for 50,000 hours. Based on the length a fixture is illuminated per day, here is what a 50,000 lifetime translates into: Hours of Operation: 24 hours a day — 5.7 years;

they restrike instantly following a power interruption. This valuable feature reduces expensive downtime for mine sites that were subject to a long wait time as their lighting “warmed up.”

LEDs and light control Light distribution is controlled by strategic placement of LEDs and efficient use of optics to illuminate a specific point. Simply put, LEDs put the light exactly

ulated for their light pollution due to the presence of observatories near the sites.

LEDs and safety Both surface and underground mining have inherent risks. These risks are especially present during maintenance tasks — both routine and unscheduled.

Labor and time dedicated to maintenance accounts for 25 to 35 percent of a mine’s operating costs and is a major

This equipment must perform in abusive conditions with absolutely no margin for error. LED lighting can meet these challenges while helping mine sites improve their bottom line. Energy efficient lighting is a key component in helping mining companies reduce energy consumption, virtually eliminate maintenance and improve worker safety.

LED technology is emerging as a huge factor in making mines more sustainable. LEDs use between 50 to 90 percent less energy than traditional fixtures, which significantly reduces costs as well as carbon emission. LED lights also bring the advantage of durability. LEDs are solid

18 hours per day — 7.6 years; 12 hours per day — 11.4 years and 8 hours per day — 17.1 years.

With the emergence of LED technology, the lighting industry has been faced with a new challenge — for the first time, a light source exists that could potentially outlive other components of a fixture. This is why it’s important that a mine operator choose wisely when upgrading to LED. The lifetime of all fixture components — not just the LED chip — must be considered.

Not all manufacturers build fixtures around the long life of the light source, so all parts should be analyzed to avoid the risk of early failure.

Another cost effective feature of LEDs is that

where you want it. Furthermore, with the optical design of traditional lighting fixtures, the area directly below the fixture is illuminated much better than the outlying areas. In contrast, the directional characteristics of LEDs allow for higher uniformity in the entire targeted area.

An additional advantage that LED technology offers is the reduction or elimination of light pollution. Traditional light sources project light 360 degrees around the fixture and utilize reflectors to control light, but LEDs can bring this control to another level. The beam and light spill are controlled using the directional capabilities of the LED optics. This is especially important to some mines that are highly reg-

expense of all operations. In general, necessary maintenance tasks are significantly reduced when mines utilize LED technology. When mines don’t need to send their employees into hazardous conditions on tall equipment to maintain light fixtures, they are avoiding situations that have been known to claim lives.

It has been estimated that 140 mining accidents between 20022006 involved a loss of over 3668 person days.

Many of these may have been avoided by using LED lighting technology. In hazardous conditions like those prevailing in mines or oil rigs, LED lights can help improve the visual performance of workers allowing them to better

detect potential hazards. Estimates by researchers at National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health suggest that the use of LED lights in the American mining sector could reduce the risk of accidents during these dangerous maintenance tasks.

Change is upon us The ever increasing environmental regulations, along with the need to lessen costs and increase productivity are placing tremendous pressure on mining operators. LED lighting can offer the solution to many challenges that they face. The introduction of new technology, process improvements, and operational changes can significantly improve a mine’s financial performance.

Hey Grinder Guy, how do I make millons of dollars in the Hurricane Sandy cleanup?

by Dave Whitelaw - grinderguy@askthegrinderguy.com This isn’t really a question I actually receive, but I must take 100 similar calls following every hurricane asking how to get involved with the cleanup. Most people hear of either the millions of dollars some companies made, or the horror stories of other companies that went broke because they were not paid for the work they did.

In either case, the callers want more information. This month, I would like to share my personal experiences of going to Long Island on business, following Hurricane Sandy, to give readers an idea of what a person experiences during cleanup.

The experience To begin with, let’s think about what we are cleaning up. The storm debris contains the lives of those affected. A ten year old boy’s basketball, a three year old girl’s pink Little Tikes® Car, a teenager’s baseball helmet, all buried in a pile of debris.

It’s easy to imagine that it could be one’s own possessions. You would find your memory foam mattress, your living room couch, your favorite chair. It’s as though the storm takes your house, turns it on its side and shakes out the contents. That’s just some of what you find in a pile of storm debris. Family photographs, diplomas, wedding dresses, a child’s first shoes… entire lifetimes, are all gone in an instant.

The scene after the storm looks like someone bulldozed your entire neighborhood. When you pull into the main entrance, it’s a challenge to try to figure

out where your house was. There are no street signs. There are no fancy entrance gates. Water, sand and debris cover the roads. Where is your street?

As you move on, you find your neighbor’s big oak tree is gone. The house on the corner is gone. Everything is flat.

Where is your house? Until you stand in the middle of some horrific tragedy as this, there is no way to understand. Pictures, TV stories, news articles, cannot describe the feeling you have when for as far as you can see, everything is gone.

Fortunately, for the Sandy victims, this was only a Category One Hurricane. It could have been “exponentially worse,” as one cleanup contractor described it. But don’t tell that to the people who lost everything or those that only had five-feet of water in their house. Because they lost a big part of their lives, and “the worst” had happened to them.

The cleanup First, roads need to be cleared to allow aid to arrive. Then the Hospitals and Support Services need to be made operational. People need food, water and shelter to survive. Then there is the need for delivering fuel and restoring power before rebuilding can get started.

It amazed me how many of these people didn’t do a thing to prepare before the storm. Planning is the key. For government leaders on every level, Disaster Plans, Debris Management Plans and Pre-Event Contracts are a must.

Eventually they will need it. These

plans are like an Insurance Policy — you don’t want to have to use, but they are essential to have.

As for the cleanup contractors and people who call asking about being a subcontractor for cleanup? Most major disaster cleanup companies have information for sub contractors on their websites. There, they require company information, lists of services, available equipment for use on the cleanup, bank information, insurance information and all contact information. It also provides locations where to get signed up with each contractor. Depending on the disaster location or your services that your company provides, you may get a call.

If you are in the grinding and shredding or hauling business, and want to get involved in this kind of cleanup, I have a few points of advice: • Get setup with the prime contractors as described earlier; • Make sure you are able to be on site and operating within 24 hours; • Make sure you have enough money to cover all your business costs for at least one month. Receiving “vendor payments” will take a while which is why, just like pre-event contracts, having all that setup before the storm, will get you paid faster; • Plan to bring a place to live, with you. Most hotels will be devoted to displaced residents. Prime contractors, FEMA and local officials will already have them all filled; • Be sure to take every part, spare part, oils and full fuel tanks with you.

Getting things delivered when there are no addresses is not very easy; • Bring more equipment than you think you will need. If your grinder isn’t running, you are not making money.

You are not going to impress your contractor either. When more jobsites open, or more material is available, the BEST bird gets the worm; • Handle it. No matter what the circumstances, get the job done. Offer no excuses and you will receive as much work as you would want. You will also get the calls in the future; and • Work for contractors you can trust.

This is my number one piece of advice.

Don’t be a sub for a sub contracted to another sub that works for yet another sub. Lowest man on the pole is paid last — if at all. The best Prime Contractors will have sufficient funds available to pay subs as often as weekly, to keep the cleanup going while they are waiting to be paid from their customer.

Those that don’t, struggle to keep subcontractors on the job and struggle to keep their contract.

Many of these contractors are involved in their local governments. They need to make sure that their county or city has a disaster plans in place to minimize the cleanup delay and expedite the relief efforts.

Don’t forget those effected American Red Cross — The organization is accepting donations for its Hurricane Sandy relief fund via its website.

You also can call 800-RED CROSS, 800-733-2767, to donate or text the word REDCROSS to 90999 to make a $10 donation.

Terex Washing Systems (TWS) announces the release of its new Plant Automation & Controls Service (PACS). This service will allow customers to improve plant efficiency by utilising state of the art, fully integrated control systems for the full range of Terex® Washing and Water Management equipment.

Barry McMenamin, manager of the Electrical Systems team at Terex Materials Processing states: “Over the past eight years, Terex Materials Processing has established a strong team of electrical, electronic and software engineers employing some of the most experienced and skilled individuals in the market place. This has allowed Terex to develop

some of the most advanced and user friendly control systems in the industry for our full range of mobile and stationary crushing and screening plants.

This helps our customers achieve the most cost effective and efficient operating and control systems, whatever their plant requirements from basic push button single plant control to complete large scale multi-plant automation, including radio and telemetry control and data acquisition.”

Adding to this, Sean Loughran, Product Line director for the TWS business, said: “With Sand, Ore, Coal and Recycled Material Washing all requiring an increasingly sophisticated level of operator controls, bringing a range of equipment into the control

GrinderCrusherScreen goes to battle with Extreme Armor GrinderCrusherScreen Inc., a leader in selling used wood grinders, crushers, shredders and screening plants, has just announced the grand opening of GrinderCrusherScreen Wear Parts, a new division devoted to the sales of tips, hammers and screens for all major manufactures of wood grinders. This new expansion into the wear parts industry is a natural fit as they already sell an abundance of tub grinders and horizontal grinders throughout the United States and internationally.

According to owner, Neal Kaiserman, “our customers wanted a reputable company to purchase their wear parts from.

They wanted customer service and a product that will last without costing an arm and leg. Our quality is second to none and our prices are definitely less

money when comparing equal parts.”

As a part of this announcement, GrinderCrusherScreen Wear Parts is introducing a new revolutionary product called Extreme Armor ™. This special welding process allows for twice the carbide to be used and results in parts lasting 2-3 times longer than standard parts.

The beautiful part of Extreme Armour is that it only costs 30 to 40 percent more than a normal tip.

Kaiserman explains “it takes time for a customer to realize that it is ok to spend 30 to 40 percent more on a part to get 2-3 times the life. In the long run it will save the customer money, not only in parts, but also in labor.”

Kaiserman predicts that after one year’s time that over 50 percent of their business will be Extreme

Armor parts. “After we educate our customers and they try the part, they will see a huge difference in longevity of the parts. We will always carry the standard parts which we are confident will stand up and exceed any part sold by an OEM. When asked if there is a huge difference between wear tips, Kaiserman said “absolutely.” A known secret in the industry is that most manufacturers do not manufacture their own tips so they buy them from companies like GrinderCrusherScreen.

“I am sad to say that the majority of blanks in the industry come from the same providers from overseas and the carbide also comes from local U.S. distributors who purchase carbide from the same sources overseas. The differences in tips can be seen by the quality of weld and the amount of carbide put into each tip. Many companies cut corners and expenses by putting less carbide on the part.

They do this to maximize profits. GrinderCrusherScreen Wear Parts will differentiate themselves from the others by having consistent parts that last,” he said.

sphere — such as Cyclones, Dewatering screens and Filter Presses along with the sampling and analysis of chemical additive systems — Terex Washing Systems is perfectly placed to offer an unparalleled service of plant automation.

“This service begins with a simple questionnaire, followed by site meetings, requirements gathering and eventually the creation of Functional Design Specifications. Once agreed by all parties, the full control system designs are created including all schematics, Bills of Material and full software files as required for all automation functions. TWS also integrates existing plant controls to their systems, including crushing, screening and even third party wash plants.

“We expect this initiative to be a major benefit to our customers and distributors and allows TWS to offer the complete wash plant solution from concept to commission.”

“In the past, post war years, recover was when we string two or more quarters together where the output of our economy is growing 4-6 percent. Thus far, we have not seen our companies growing at those levels, even after 40 months.

Here we are, almost four years into the recovery we are still debating what is going on?” he said. “GDP does not measure what we sell.”

“Even now, in late 2012, the economy is still only growing at 1-2 percent,” he added.

“That is not a period of what we are accustomed to. We are yet to see strong quarters like those that took place in the past.”

“Late last summer something interesting happened,” he said.

“Consumer confidence dropped significantly, even though the broader economy is performing.

I believe that Mainstreet America has lost their confidence in the people in Washington to get their fiscal house in or-

der. The disconnect between the average household sector and how they saw the economy and the economy’s real performance, clearly is viewed in non-economic terms.” He said that recent data suggests that consumer confidence is finally back to levels where it was in early 2007.

Tetterow concluded saying that the housing market is still slow to return with home prices still be suppressed.

Pennsylvania is not as bad as the rest of the nation, but the recovery is still slow. In many cases, housing mortgages are still upside down by about 60 percent. It will take until late 2014 or 2015 for employment to be back to pre-recession levels. He said that with Obama in office, there might be more support for infrastructure funding, however the efforts of the EPA and other regulatory agencies may continue to play a bigger role by intruding more into the daily operations

of business.

Other presentations during the two day event included a panel discussion featuring John Stefanko, Alisa Harris and Tom Callaghan, of PA DEP; an overview of the Healthcare Reform Law and how its implementation will affect businesses by Attorney Mark A. Smith, Barley

In Memoriam

Dan Norrgran Dan Norrgran, 59, manager — Minerals & Materials Processing and

Heavy Industries, passed away unexpectedly at St. Vincent Health Center in Erie on October 16, 2012.

Dan was hired in 1985 as a technical representative in the Sales Department, coming from Anaconda Minerals in Tucson, AZ, where he served as technical manager — Beneficiation Applications and supervisor of the Mineral Beneficiation Laboratory.

He was active throughout A n a c o n d a ’ s mining/milling operations — successfully reducing production costs by controlling operating

expenses and increasing mineral recovery. Prior to that, he worked with the U.S. Bureau of Mines in Twin Cities, MN as a Minerals Engineer. He participated in the engineering development of high intensity magnetic separators and developed a novel process for treating silver-manganese ores with high intensity magnetics.

A native Minnesotan, he earned his BS degree in Physics from Hamline University in St. Paul, and an MS in Mineral Engineering at the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis, where the emphasis of his work was on

the electrostatic and high intensity magnetic separation of paramagnetic minerals. He then earned his MBA from Penn State University. He was a prolific writer, authoring dozens of technical papers on magnetic separation advancements which were published in professional trade journals around the world.

Dan was employed at Eriez for 27 years, most recently serving as manager of the Minerals & Materials Processing Division, where he traveled extensively worldwide in growing the company’s global equipment sales

to the Mining, Coal Processing, Industrial Minerals and other related industries into Eriez’ largest served markets.

He was a respected member of several professional associations including the Canadian Institute of Metallurgy, the International Minerals Association and the Society of Mining Engineers, where he served as National Committee chairman.

In 2004, he received Eriez’ highest honor, Person of the Year, in recognition for “managing the Mineral Processing Division to its pres-

ent key position within our Worldwide Operations.” Talented, intelligent and caring, Dan truly lived the inscription on today’s Special Recognition plaques, You make Eriez a better place for all of us.
