How a Mobile Plant Increased Quarry Output by 30%

📌 The Challenge

Mobile Plant

A mid-sized quarry faced operational roadblocks:

  • Fragmented crushing setup; mix of aging stationary and portable machines

  • Inconsistent output sizes and excess material waste

  • Long setup times, up to 5 days adding downtime and expense

Rising aggregate demand meant it was time for a smarter, leaner solution.

🛠 Apache’s Smart Solution

Mobile Plant 2

Apache’s engineering team designed a mobile plant tailored to the quarry’s needs. Key components included:

  • Jaw crusher (mobile, trailer-mounted) – efficiently handles oversized feed

  • Dual-deck vibrating screen – custom slope control for precise sizing

  • Integrated grizzly feeder – removes fines before crushing, reducing wear

  • Radial stacker conveyors – accelerate stockpiling and cut loader usage

Systems came with intuitive controls to minimize operator training and maximize uptime.
