In 2022, Duininck Inc. purchased an Astec KPI-JCI K500 cone crusher - it’s first piece of Astec aggregate equipment - to the aggregate spread at its Scott Quarry in Hardwick, Minn.
“We rented a crusher last season, and we weren’t sure if it was the right fit. We met with (RMS Aggregate Division Manager) Ben Schmidtlein and then visited the Astec plant in Eugene, Ore. We got a real hands-on experience and were confident that Astec and RMS would be the best fit. After that, we were excited to put it to work in the toughest application that we have," said Duininck Inc Equipment Manager Courtland Acosta.
The K500 is currently working as the plant’s secondary crusher. The Scott Quarry produces 3-quarter-inch product for a large ready-mix operation in addition to material for FOB sales and Duininck’s asphalt operations. While the application is tough, the K500 has exceeded expectations.
“We are producing about 200-ton more per hour,” said Acosta. “It’s performing flawlessly.”
