Profi-Bagger and Egelquip (Pty) appointed to cover sales in Hungary and South Africa respectively 

EQUIPMENT attachment specialists ALLU have appointed two new distributors for Hungary and South Africa. The authorized dealers, Profi-Bagger (covering Hungary) and Egelquip (Pty) Ltd (operating in South Africa), will supply ALLU’s comprehensive range of Transformer and Processor material-processing attachments, as well as providing full aftermarket care, spare parts and dedicated customer service.

Founded in 1993, Profi-Bagger specialize in the supply of earthmoving and processing equipment across Hungary and in recent years have added major brands to their inventory, with ALLU being the latest addition. 

Egelquip (Pty) were established in 2013 by Kieron Geoghegan as a ‘new version’ of his original business, Conquip Plant Hire, which began trading in 1983. Today, they provide premium construction equipment solutions throughout southern Africa, assisting customers across a broad range of applications, including mining, waste management and recycling. 

ALLU say the new distributor appointments will further enhance locally focused customer support in Hungary and South Africa, while Profi-Bagger and Egelquip (Pty) will be able to call on round-the-clock specialized advice and assistance from the manufacturer’s German office and Finland-based technical support department.

Commenting on the appointments, Jeroen Hinnen, vice-president of sales for ALLU, said: ‘The combination of ALLU equipment and global aftermarket support, together with the local knowledge and industry expertise of Profi-Bagger, will allow our customers to benefit from a winning combination.

‘The opportunities in southern Africa are also staggering, with Egelquip having the know-how, expertise and contacts to show how the ALLU Transformers can help with surface mining and other material processing applications.’

The UK is currently facing a major housing shortage, with the lack of readily available land suitable for construction being a major factor in holding back developments. This has directly led to the more remediation projects being undertaken, with Wolverhampton headquartered McAuliffe working on developments throughout the UK. In its work, the company has found an Allu DH series Transformer attachment to be an invaluable tool for processing materials during the development of brownfield sites previously classified as contaminated land.

Established almost 50 years ago, McAuliffe initially began work on new builds, major roads, sewers and bulk earthwork projects. In the mid-1980s the company ventured into the reclamation and remediation of brownfield sites, working on a former landfill site in Solihull and the former Land Rover works in Birmingham. McAuliffe then secured the Tipton Gas Works contract in the late 1980s, a highly complex project in the heart of the Black Country, West Midlands. Since the 1980s and 1990s, large construction companies have come to rely on McAuliffe’s trusted know-how in providing highly specialist and professional regeneration and remediation services. This list includes many of the UK’s leading housebuilders and property developers, such as Barratt, Bloor, Bovis, Redrow and Persimmon Homes.

Specialists in remediation

Working with its clients from an early stage, McAuliffe can help to establish the likely costs, timescales and potential methods for land remediation. A critical aspect to all remediation projects is the initial site investigation, subsequent risk assessments and remediation strategy. Sadly it is common place, particularly on complex sites, for inadequate site investigations to be carried out, which leads to inadequate or over scoped remediation strategies. Not only does this involve unnecessary costs, but can lead to disputes with regulators leading to potential significant delays to the project by months and sometimes years.

To help avoid these pitfalls, McAuliffe provides advice on abnormals at land purchase stage and a range of remediation technologies to suit individual project requirements. These include ex-situ soils treatment, soil stabilisation / solidification, in-situ groundwater treatment, waste pre-treatment for disposal, tank decommissioning / liquid disposal, concurrent concrete and foundation removal. Through the provision of such services, McAuliffe can deliver best value, measured by cost, time, quality and sustainability.

Transforming project work

As a specialist environmental contractor, McAuliffe has amassed a large fleet of equipment in order to service the requirements of its customers.  Thus the company now operates an extensive range of Blue Machinery supplied Powerscreen crushers and screeners, for the mobile processing and recycling of materials found on brownfield sites. Another piece of equipment (also supplied by Blue Machinery), albeit on a smaller scale, but still vital to McAuliffe’s business, are Allu Transformers.

McAuliffe is a long time beneficiary of the attributes of Allu technology, having owned and operated an Allu SM attachment for over ten years.  The attachment had been specifically useful on a variety of remediation projects, and still has proved to be a highly reliable and effective tool to the present day.  Its success led directly to the company using attachments from other manufacturers, but much preferred the attributes of the Allu Transformer, leading them to once again use Allu when it came to choosing a new and modern processing attachment.

Through its excellent relationship with Blue Machinery, McAuliffe was made aware of some of the latest developments in Allu technology, leading to the company upgrading to an Allu DH4-17 X75 Transformer. This has exceeded all expectations, comfortably undertaking highly productive work on some of the wettest and stickiest materials to be found. Now both the Allu attachments can be seen working together throughout the UK, providing a solution to some of the hardest to deal with materials imaginable.

The Allu DH series Transformers themselves are a range of screening attachments for compact base machines. They are suitable for excavators up to 45t, loaders up to 30t, as well as being suitable for tractors and backhoe loaders. The DH attachments are ideal for waste material handling and environmental remediation applications, as well as general construction and demolition. Being highly mobile, they enable work to be undertaken directly on site, often in the hardest to get to areas.

How it works

The Allu DH series Transformers are part of Allu’s D series of attachments purpose designed for processing heavy duty-hard wearing materials such as soil, clay, concrete and bricks. The range has proved its value in various business activities including waste material handling, composting, pipeline backfilling/padding, clay stabilising job sites, crushing asphalt and minerals. In each case the equipment has effectively transformed operations wherever it has been used.

Material is transformed as the DH, as with all members of the Allu D series, comprises of an excavator/ loader/ tractor mounted attachment which screens, crushes, aerates, blends, mixes, separates, feeds and loads materials. This results in the feed material being effectively transformed into highly valuable products, making businesses more efficient, and more profitable. At the heart of the attachment is the unique top screen of its bucket. This is where the screening blades spin between the top screen combs, with the end material size being defined by the space between the combs. Effectively these screening combs carry most of the material weight to ensure the drums and bearings take on less impact and load. This construction is clog-free and maintains good capacity even with wet materials.

McAuliffe’s DH series Transformer has now been fitted with Allu’s X75 blades. This has led directly to the attachment being used in an aeration process to remove the larger hard core for processing with a crusher, whilst drying the wetter material at the same time. McAuliffe then uses a variety of different processes to deal with contamination, including adding microscopic organisms to break down contaminants as well as adding lime for ground stabilisation.

An impressive range of Allu Transformer solutions perfect for the requirements of the construction, recycling, extraction and mineral processing industries, will be exhibited and demonstrated at Entreprend Live 2019. Additionally, Allu will also be exhibiting at Load Up North at the end of August.

From the 12 – 14 September, 2019, Entreprend Live will be held in Ring Knutstorp, Kågeröd Skåne, Sweden.

Many representatives from over 50 Allu dealers attended the meeting of Allu’s global dealer network in Finland, where Murray Plant was named the ‘best performing new dealer’.

“The dealer conference and meeting was the perfect occasion for me to meet the Allu people in the field,” said Jeroen Hinnen, Allu Vice President.

At a gala dinner held on the last night of the meeting, an awards ceremony was held to recognise the performance of Allu’s dealers. Tianjin Deal Electronic and Mechanical Equipment Trading Co. Ltd from China was presented with ‘dealer of the year’, with R D Williams from Australia being awarded the ‘Allu award for excellence’. Finally, newly appointed dealer, Murray Plant from the UK was awarded ‘best performing new dealer’.

Combined brand offering

Rammer dealer and Blue Machinery Group Co. Murray Plant was appointed as the sole UK distributor for the Allu range of transformers and processors in April 2018. This has presented new opportunities for both Allu and Murray Plant.

“What is genuinely exciting for all UK quarrying, demolition, construction, civil engineering, and material handling businesses is that now, for the very first time, the leading industry attachment brands have now been brought together,” said Fergal O’Neill of the Murray Plant. “Rammer breakers and demolition tools, Fortress shears, Pladnet grabs, and Allu are all acknowledged leaders in their field. We have only been involved with Allu for less than a year, but already we have experienced genuine excitement at the possibilities the transformers and processors present to our customers. Used alone, or in conjunction with other members of our product line, the Allu equipment is producing real benefits to our diverse customers’ applications and materials processing.

“The award came as a real shock. The Murray Plant team has fully embraced the Allu equipment. Simply put, the Allu transformer series comprises an excavator/loader/tractor mounted processing bucket, which screens, pulverises, aerates, blends, mixes, separates, crushes, feeds, and loads materials. This results in the feed material being effectively transformed into highly valuable products, making our customers’ business more efficient and more profitable.”

“Our dealers are a vital link between us and the customers,” said Ola Ulmala, President of Allu. “And the dealer’s performance has been outstanding since 2018. Murray Plant’s performance has been amazing. Their professionalism and expertise has directly led to the company providing many UK customers with a first class product, and vitally, first class service.”

TENNESSEE – ALLU Transformer of East Brunswick, N.J.,. has placed one of its M 3-20 material processing attachments at a montmorillonite clay mine. The miner purchased the mine duty M Series screener-crusher attachment from ALLU to use with its Hitachi 650 excavator in order to crush mined clay down to 4-in-minus and simultaneously load haul trucks.

The ALLU M 3-20 is allowing the facility to mine land it could not previously mine, as well as process clay from boulders. The ultimate goal is to eliminate the primary crusher in the plant. The processed material is used for production of cat litter and absorbent clay for oils.

According to ALLU territory manager Steve Fowler, “The customer is enjoying the advantages of reduced downtime with their crusher at the plant and lower overall operating costs. They’re able to go back and process material that previously was considered unusable, and also mine areas they had passed over, saving them from having to buy and strip additional land. The ALLU Transformer allows them to crush, screen and load as a one-person operation.”

The ALLU Transformer M Series attachment is a multi-faceted tool for mining and process industries applications. Powered by the carrier machine (an excavator or wheel loader of up to 140 tonnes), the hydraulic attachment provides quick and efficient production, solves chute blockages and other material flow problems, and easily assists with the processing and transport of wet and sticky or frozen material.

By sizing material and removing problematic and damaging waste rock at the initial stage of the process, the ALLU M Series eliminates double handling of material and contributes to an operation’s maximum efficiency. It helps protect conveyor systems and primary and secondary material processing equipment, as it ultimately saves operations time and money.

Allu held the ‘best ever’ meeting of its global dealer network during the second week of February. Many representatives from over 50 ALLU dealers came to Finland for what proved to be a fantastic occasion. During the event, Murray Plant was named ‘best performing new dealer’.

In order to provide customers with the very latest developments in ALLU’s increasing solutions portfolio, over 50 ALLU distributors came to Finland from 13 – 16 February. During the meeting, the dealers enjoyed a series of events aimed at providing them with the latest developments and application thinking concerning the ALLU products.
