Hi to all,hope you all had a good xmas.
Well,i`m currently working in Somerset.We`ve just taken over on the Crushing & screening.Long term contract for us.I started befor xmas with a day on Keartons Case CX240 & hammer then on our Volvo EC460 B with a montabert V45 hammer,the same machine i had in the summer for a few weeks.Have to run again on reduced engine revs cause of the small hammer.
We have a Volvo EC460 CL feeding a Sandvik jaw crusher,with a Volvo L110E taking away & feeding a hopper conveyor,which feeds a sandvic cone crusher,into a 3 way finlay screen,into another Sandvic cone,into another 5 way finlay,& lastly into a 3 way finlay :dizzy: .A Cat 972H & komatsu 470 stockpile & load lorrys,& 1 of our Cat 740`s hauls to the tar plant,along with Tarmac`s Cat 735 adt.So far i`ve been on the Volvo 460B hammering,the Cat 972H feeding the screening plant,the 735 &740 hauling,& now the bucket is on my 460 as tomorrow i`m feeding the cone crusher for a few days untill a better feed hopper/conveyor arrives,& the current one keeps jamming :roll: .And today we had a Volvo 140B arrive for a few hours for me to put a ditch in beside the haul road because of water run off freezing on the haul road.
Will add some pics tomorrow :)

No more pics i`m afraid.I`m off back up to Tarmac`s Bayston Hill Quarry in Shrewsbury next week.Not hammering this time though."My"(used to run it before the hammering)Nordberg/Metso LT1213 Impactor crusher is going with me.So i`m out of Halecombe for a while,& running a crusher again.Not sure if i`m getting my ZX350 back,will have to see.
To much snow & ice making it too dangerous to operate.So we all had a few days off.Worked to day though,with me feeding the cone crusher & screens with the EC460.
