Modern Quarrying Q3 2019

KEY TAKEAWAYS

CDE used bauma 2019 to unveil two new ground- breaking innovations, the Intelligent Plant with AI technology and the patented Combo, the world’s first all-in-one wet processing plant

Also, as it sits on its own chassis, the Combo requires minimal civils and pipework so operators can now easily relocate their plant across sites or to remote locations. Its smaller footprint also makes it ideal for tight quarries in urban settings. With all essential processes being housed onto one chassis, the Combo system operates as one interconnected and pre-assembled unit which incorporates an integrated control panel with one single point of operation. Significantly, the Combo wet processing system can produce up to two in-spec products from natural sand or crushed rock turning what is often considered a waste by-product into a product that adds value to the business. In addition, the new technology allows customers almost total independence of water supply with up to 90% of process water recycled for immediate re-use in the system – ideal for jurisdictions with limited resources or those with existing

The Intelligent Plant, CDE’s pioneering next generation technology, utilises advances in machine learning and the Internet of Things to monitor and automate previously manual processes

Enabling the plant to make smart decisions in real time, Intelligent Plant can boost productivity by up to 40% with a payback period of under six months

The CDE Combo encompasses five processes – feeding, sizing, sand washing, stockpiling and complete integrated water management

The CDE Combo allows customers almost total independence of water supply with up to 90% of process water recycled for immediate re-use in the system
