Insee Aggregates is now using equipment from 6934 Metso to boost output and productivity at its Suphanburi Quarry in Thailand

The firm opted to purchase the state-of-the-art quarry processing plant so as to increase the efficiency at the facility. The delivery includes all the advanced crushing and screening equipment, full electrical plant design, automation software and hardware, as well as related services and sustainable optimisation.

The Suphanburi Quarry is owned and operated by Insee Aggregates, a part of Siam City Cement Company, Thailand's second-largest cement producer. This equipment order is significant as it will make the facility the most modern processing plant in Thailand for the production of high-quality aggregates. The quarry has a large, proven resource and the upgrade means that the facility will see output grow to two million tonnes/year. The facility is located north-west of Bangkok and the new plant is expected to start production in 2018.

 The Suphanburi Quarry provides aggregates to the construction sector in and around Bangkok. The plan for the plant upgrade was to double production capacity, while also delivering quality output and meeting the tough environmental requirements.

Craig Bickley, CEO of Siam City Concrete (SCCO) explained that Metso studied the operation and listened to the customer’s requests before coming up with an equipment solution.

Metso's delivery covers the crushing and screening plant, including five crushers, five vibrating screens, plant and overland conveyors, steel structures and chuteworks, ancillary equipment, electrical and automation. The deal also includes related services, such as installation, start-up, commissioning and technical direction.
