Kenya Stone Crusher Case Study: Mobile HX300 Boosts Aggregate Production by 50% for Road Project
2025-09-25Visits:
Customer Background & Pain Points
A building material company based in Nairobi, Kenya (specializing in aggregate supply for road construction), faced two major challenges when undertaking the supporting road project of the Mombasa-Nairobi Railway branch line in 2023: 1. The daily processing capacity of its existing small-scale crushing equipment was only 200 tons, far below the project’s requirement of 300 tons per day; 2. The crushed finished products had uneven particle sizes (with a qualification rate of only 82%), leading to repeated rework requests from the supervisor.
Equipment Selection & On-Site Application
After an on-site inspection (the customer’s quarry is located in Kiambu County, mainly crushing granite), the mobile HX300 stone crusher was recommended for the following advantages: 1. Equipped with laminated crushing technology, which is suitable for the high-hardness characteristics of granite; 2. Integrated with a vibrating screening system, enabling precise control of the finished product particle size within 10-30mm (meeting the project’s requirements); 3. Diesel-driven with a crawler design, eliminating the need for fixed infrastructure and adapting flexibly to the complex terrain of the quarry.
Application Results & Customer Feedback
Since the equipment was put into use, three major breakthroughs have been achieved: 1. The daily processing capacity increased to 350 tons, which not only met the project’s needs but also allowed the company to undertake additional orders; 2. The qualification rate of finished products reached 98%, reducing rework costs; 3. The energy consumption per ton of crushing dropped to 0.8L of diesel, representing a 15% reduction compared to the original equipment.Peter Kimani, the customer’s person in charge, commented: “The mobile crusher has solved our problems of scattered sites and insufficient output. Currently, the project progress is 20 days ahead of schedule, and we will still choose this equipment for the subsequent quarry expansion.”
