Malcolm’s latest Premiertrak 600 from Powerscreen
Malcolm Construction Services has taken delivery of the UK’s first 2991 Powerscreen Premiertrak 600 mobile jaw crusher.

The purchase was from appointed Powerscreen distributor Blue Machinery Scotland and is working alongside other Powerscreen crushing and screening equipment, processing quarried Basalt at Malcolm’s Loanhead Quarry, Bieth near Glasgow.

Blue Machinery has also purchased a new 1150 Maxtrak cone crusher to achieve type 1 sizes for drainage and concrete aggregate. The quick and easy to assemble Premiertrak 600 is a high-performance primary jaw crusher with a throughput of around 600tonnes per hour. It is especially suited to processing hard rock.

The 1200mm X 820mm jaw chamber features a fully hydraulic CSS range of 75-200mm and a reversing system to clear blockages quickly.

The high capacity jaw is fed by a vibrating grizzly feeder with variable speed control and a large grizzly area to maximise removal of fine material, thereby prolonging the life of jaw plates within the crusher chamber.

The bypass chute is also fitted with wear-resistant liners as standard and has an adjustable five-position deflector plate to divert material to either the product or side conveyors. The product and tail conveyors can be raised and lowered hydraulically.

Controls incorporate an interface with intuitive graphics and high-resolution display. There is automatic start/stop and diagnostic and machine adjustment capability. Speed of the jaw crusher can be varied to suit the application and feed materials.

Malcolm Construction Services has been a Powerscreen customer for more than 25 years and a Blue Machinery Scotland customer since its inception 18 years ago, with Blue supplying a Pegson 11800 jaw crusher, 1000 and 1300 cone crushers, as well as two Chieftain 1800 screening plants when the quarry opened nine years ago.
