2991 Powerscreen distributor 5519 Kwintmadi-Lonmadi has been helping local contractors fulfill material requirements in advance of the 2014 Winter Olympics in the Black Sea holiday resort of Sochi.

Kwintmadi-Lonmadi was appointed as European Russia distributor in 2011 and in its first year has been awarded the title of Powerscreen Dealer of the Year, 2012.

Its first customer to buy a Powerscreen XA400S jaw crusher is heavily involved in the preparations for the Winter 1558 Olympic Games, having won various contracts in Sochi. The construction company KarierServise has many years of experience in the local market.

The owner founded the company as a small operation with one machine on a building site but the business has since grown to handle large contracts, often requiring multiple machines.

“As we have expanded our business we have learned the importance of working with a strong partner who can offer us reliable equipment backed up by good service,” says the owner of Kwintmadi-Lonmadi.

The XA400S was selected for the marlstone application which required 0-125mm of crushed stone from an average feed size of 600mm.

“Usually we find that the maximum output potential quoted in sales materials is based on a set of ideal circumstances which is often difficult to achieve. But so far the XA400S has given us at least 10% more than we expected,” added the
owner.

To feed the XA400S, the customer decided to buy bigger excavators and has since calculated regular outputs of 440tonnes/hour.

The customer has also bought an additional two Powerscreen machines: a Powerscreen Chieftain 1400 screen and a Powerscreen Metrotrak HA jaw crusher, and KarierServise says it has plans to buy more machines in 2013 which will allow the company to win larger contracts and generate more return for its investment.
