The Chieftain 2100X
Saving Shannon Valley Quarry 100 litres of diesel per day!
Last October Shannon Valley Quarries took delivery of a new Powerscreen Chieftain 2100X at their Rathcoole site. This site is managed by Mick English & Camillus O’Neill and we recently caught up with Camillus to find out how he is getting on with their new machine. Powerscreen Ireland are no strangers to this quarry with several of our crushers and screeners currently working the site. The range of machines date back to their 1996 Chieftain 1600 to their new Maxtrak 1300 cone crusher.
Each week Shannon Valley blast fresh rock, this in turn is fed to the Jaw crusher and then directly into the Powerscreen Maxtrak1300. At this stage it is then stockpiled and ran through either the Powerscreen Chieftain 2100X or another 3 deck screen that they have on site. Both deck machines are set up to screen 20mm, 14mm, 10mm and dust. The Chieftain 2100X has been on site since October 2015 and to date is working 10 hour days, 6 days per week, problem free. We spoke to Camillus O’Neill about their new Powerscreen Chieftain 2100X to see how he finds it after running it for a number of months. We were delighted, but not surprised when Camillus stated that this Chieftain was superior in almost ever way to his other 3 deck screener on site. Camillus O’Neill, Shannon Valley Quarry. said “This year, this machine will save us over 30,000 litres of diesel. What’s more, it will do it without causing us any trouble or down time. We could not ask for more.”
