Murray plant named ‘best performing new dealer’

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.”

SCREENER-CRUSHER: Clay miner chooses ALLU attachment

Powered by the excavator, the ALLU Transformer crushes and screens each bucket load as it goes into the truck.

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.

Double the processing capacity

ALLU Transformer Screener Buckets mounted on an excavator improve efficiency in material processing due to work speed and reach which results in almost double the processing capacity compared to a slow-moving wheel loader as a carrier.

With ALLU’s Screener Crusher technology, existing loaders and excavators can be converted into effective sorting and screening equipment due to the  ALLU Transformers ability to deliver a one-step screening and loading solution capable of handling all materials from wet soils to coal and rock. This helps improve efficiencies through less chute blockages and also reduces the need for buffer storage areas and transportation of material heaps that are clogged due to moisture or contamination.

ALLU Transformer M series of buckets for mining applications suit 50-160 tonne excavators and 30–90 tonne wheel loaders. To meet the specific needs of each application a range of blade and drum sizes are available to provide fragment sizes of 50, 75, 100 and 150 millimetres.

Operators can ensure that the very best performance is obtained from the attachment with ALLU DARE Data Reporting System. It records bucket count, processing time, total working time and processed tonnes and all the information can be viewed and analysed via ALLU app.

ALLU Transformers are distributed to more than 30 countries and available in Australia via dedicated Australian dealer network with ready access to genuine parts and a wealth of operational knowledge and experience:

  • Victoria – Walkers Hammers
  • New South Wales – Ground Tec
  • Queensland and Northern Territory – Qld Rock Breakers (QRB)

One unit –three fragment sizes with new ALLU TS® blade structure

The patented unique ALLU TS® blade structure has been developed by ALLU, which has long been a pioneer developing solutions’ to improve the productivity of a customer at different kinds of jobsites. The ALLU TS® blades are a modern development for the attachment screener / crusher market, with ALLU set to deliver new levels of efficiency and productivity with the new blade variations, with the new blade structure further enabling customers to utilize their ALLU Transformer in more than way.

At the core of the ALLU TS® drum construction is the configuration of the screening blades that spin between the screening combs. The end product size is defined by the space between the combs, and different fragment sizes can be achieved simply by repositioning the combs. As the screening combs carry most of the material weight, the drums and bearings experience less impact and load, with the design of the assembly ensuring the machine works well in wet and dry materials without clogging.

The ALLU TS® drums are available with two different blade types: standard blades for screening applications and axe blades when a crushing or shredding effect is required. Blade sizes available include 16-32 mm, 25-50 mm and 35 mm. The latest ALLU development to the ALLU TS® assembly enables three different fragment sizes from same unit. Fragment size estimation is based on screening comb distance, with it being quick and easy to change from one screening job to another, providing more versatile processing. Due to ALLU TS®’s self-cleaning design, it allows the best possible capacity even with wet materials, termed a non-clogging structure.

More blade variations with one ALLU

With doubling and tripling options, ALLU now has the widest range of blade variations on the market. The single blade set up positions two or three blades in a single position, with one screening comb between every blade. The possibilities for blade thicknesses in this assembly are 8, 16, 25 and 35 mm. With the double blade setup, two blades have the same position moving together with two screening combs between the doubled blades. The possibilities for blade thicknesses in this assembly are 16, 32, 50 and 70 mm. The tripled blade set up has three blades in the same position that move together. The possibilities for blade thicknesses in this assembly are 24, 48, 75 and 105 mm. By changing from a single blade setup to one that is doubled or tripled blade, the estimated fragment size can be changed from single to double or triple. One ALLU – three fragment sizes.
