February 28, 2008

At a ceremony held in its Jamshedpur plant, Sudhir Deoras, managing director, TRF along with Rakeshwar Pandey, president Tata Robins Fraser labour union flagged off India's first mobile stone crusher and screening plant. Designed, engineered and manufactured by TRF, the mobile crusher and screening plant that rolled out of its premises today, is the first among a total of six such sets that it has to supply to its customer, the Directorate General of Border Roads, India.

Designed to handle 20 tonne of stones per hour, the crushing and screening plant is truly a world-class machine as it is equipped with many unique features. The most important among this is that the stone crusher is movable from one site to another. This means that once the purpose of the stone crusher is over at a particular site then the builder is free to move it to another site. Unlike the conventional stone crushing plants for road construction, the mobile stone crusher and screening plant is mounted on wheels and thus can be re-located and to remote sites also. The machine is capable of producing upto 20mm stones from a feed size of 300mm in single stage process. The machine consists of a grizzly feeder, primary and secondary jaw crushers, conveyor belt, vibrating screens, supporting structures and drive arrangements, control panels and a generator set.

Speaking on the occasion, Mr Deoras encouraged the employees to be innovative and think and make suggestions without being encumbered by the fear of failure. Mr Pandey emphasised on the need for working with a mind-set that enable TRF to undertake bigger projects and to continue on the nonstop journey to excellence. RC Nandrajog, executive director, said that the mobile crushing and screening plant was just a beginning and he hoped that in the days to come TRF would be able to delight a larger number of customers with this machine.
