How a Mobile Plant Increased Quarry Output by 30%
📌 The Challenge

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

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.
📈 Real Results – Measurable Gains
Metric | Before | After | Outcome |
Output (TPH) | Baseline | +30% | More tonnage per hour |
Fuel Consumption | Baseline | −18% | Reduced operational cost |
Setup Time | ~5 days | <36 hours | Faster deployment |
Operator Hours & Safety | Higher | Decreased | Fewer incidents, less labor |
🎯 Why It Worked
Custom Configuration: Equipment sized for feed material and terrain
Module Mobility: Trailer-mounted system stays versatile
Optimized Workflow: Fines removed before crushing, belt-fed screening—all staged for peak efficiency
Operator-Centric Controls: Simplified training helped reduce human error
