What’s the hype all about with operating track mounted crushers, screens and now conveyors? Is it overkill or does it make sense? The answer is that it depends on your needs, budget and if the track mounted conveyor’s efficiency is worth its cost and the fuel it may burn.
If you can justify the added cost of operating track mounted conveyors, they are AWESOME! They are simple and pair up nicely with a track mounted crusher or screen. You would have the ultimate track mounted package when utilizing a track conveyor with your track crusher and/or screening plant.
One advantage of using a track conveyor is the possible elimination of a loader to move material after it is processed. Another advantage is the mobility as well as ease of moving in and around jobsites.
From an investment standpoint, track mounted and/or mobile conveyors can increase profits. Determining if the investment is worth it will require contractors to consider their jobsite challenges and calculate the costs of operating standard conveyors vs. track mounted conveyors. Mobility has a price tag and an operational cost. Similar to justifying a track mounted crusher or screen, what are your specific goals and needs?
Many times, when jobs are time sensitive, having the ultimate mobile system is a necessity and not a choice. If most of your jobs require you to get in and out quickly and there are more jobs lined up, one should consider track mounted conveyors.
Also, most track mounted conveyors can be transported and set up more quickly than standard conveyors. This time savings will not only be more efficient but should translate into more profits.
As always, we welcome your questions and will make every effort to advise you what makes the most sense for you.
