The biggest Pilot Crushtec modular plant sofar has been installed at a limestone crushingsite in Ndola near Lusaka, Zambia.

Owned by local company Zamm Imports Ltd,the plant includes 18 Pilot Crushtec machinesand was commissioned during the last week ofJuly 2010.

I believe this plant is a showpiece for bothPilot Crushtec and Zamm Imports Ltd and Iam proud to have been part of the processto create it, says Pilot Crushtec Africa salesmanager Wayne Warren.

According to Warren, the plant which has beennamed Zamm-Stone Crusher, is one of thenicest plants in Zambia and includes mostof the products in the current Pilot Crushtecrange.

Included in the deal were: a Pilot Modular/TRIO MJ3042 jaw crusher, three Pilot ModularMC 1000 11m conveyors, a Pilot ModularMC1050 20m conveyor, a Pilot ModularDD4815 double deck screen, a Pilot ModularMC800 16m conveyor, a Pilot Modular MC80020m conveyor, a Pilot Modular/TRIO MC130standard cone crusher, a Pilot Modular MC130short head cone crusher, a Pilot ModularMC1200 25m conveyor and a Pilot Modular/TRIO TD6118 triple deck screen.

Zamm Imports owner Jignesh Soni says thatthe plant will initially be used to crush 2000

tons of 0-5mm, 5-10mm, 10-19mm and 19-25mm aggregate per day.

The Ndola area has the largest reserve of will be using the plant to supply the boomingconstruction sector and the mining sector,where the limestone is used to neutralizeacid, explains Jignesh.

The speed of delivery and installation in March and the plant was fully set up by themiddle of June.

and Chinese companies, I was shown the fullrange of Pilot Modular/TRIO crushers at PilotCrushtec which particularly impressed me asthis approach eliminates the need for any civilworks, which can take up to a year to set upand commission, he explained.

When asked how he felt about having thelargest modular plant ever installed by PilotCrushtec, Jignesh commented that he wasntaware that Zamm-Stone Crusher was thelargest.

But I am impressed about this fact and hope

to build an even bigger plant in the future. Iam always on the lookout for future businessin the crushing category and will expandfurther into crushing ores for the miningindustry in the Copperbelt. Pilot Crushtec purchase a plant, he explained.

Jignesh established Zamm Imports in 1999as an importer, distributor and retailer ofelectrical goods, furniture, fabrics and allhousehold goods. It has outlets in both Ndolaand Kitwe on the Zambian Copperbelt province of 25 Volvo superlink trucks. After receiving a

contract to supply Zambian Portland Cement(ZPC) with aggregate, he decided to branchout into this industry.
