Epiroc’s heavy breakers, available in New Zealand from MIMICO, are highly adapted for primary blast-free rock excavation and secondary rock breaking on construction sites and in quarries, surface and under-ground mines, as well as primary demolition of massive reinforced concrete structures.

Efficient and powerful

Built with advanced technology, Epiroc’s hydraulic attachment tools are an essential asset to any modern operator. Epiroc’s heavy breakers are the ideal solution for carriers such as skid steer loaders, backhoe loaders, or excavators. Not only are these breakers easy to operate thanks to the latest in proportional valve technology, but they offer excellent productivity with reduced noise levels.

The Irish Manufacturing Services (IMS) range of mobile screening and conveying equipment, available from MIMICO, offers New Zealand operators a high-quality, durable, competitively priced choice.

Whether searching for a mobile screen, scalper, tracked blender, or pugmill that is perfect for local applications, the IMS range offers top-of-the-line gear flexible enough to handle a variety of uses. Plus, the selection of IMS mobile wheel radial conveyors and track stackers are designed specifically to meet your needs.

UK brand Portafill has just announced Porter Group as its exclusive distributor for the New Zealand and Australian markets. Portafill is recognised in the market for its high-quality range of compact crushers and screens which have been in production since 1993.

“We are delighted to have Porter Group represent Portafill. The market for compact crushers and screens is a growing market and that is certainly the case in New Zealand and Australia. Porter Group is a very well-respected company with huge experience across a range of sectors in Oceania and so we are confident this relationship will be a success,” says Portafill International general manager Colin Rafferty.

Removing moisture from sand is a crucial process in order to maintain optimal product quality. Too much moisture can lead to unnecessary wastage, while not enough can hinder productivity. Fortunately, Superior Industries’ dewatering screens, available in New Zealand from MIMICO, provide an effective solution for managing moisture levels in sand.

If you are in the market for a dewatering screen, you may be wondering what sets Superior Industries' dewatering screens apart from the competition.

Design Characteristics that Maximise Moisture Removal

This new fleet of wheel loaders, which will join the existing Hyundai -9 Series, is set to be a game-changer across a range of industries, including the quarrying and mining sector. Having debuted overseas a few years ago, these loaders have been trade-tested and proven in the field.

“We’re excited to bring the new 900 series to NZ, ranging from 12 to 31 ton it offers the quarry market the best value on offer. With increased performance and a market leading operator environment, we expect to build on Hyundai’s success with the -9 model,” Scott Turner, Porter Equipment NZ national sales manager, says.

Stevenson Aggregates' Drury quarry recently upgraded the capability of its operation, installing a new Metso Outotec Nordberg C120 jaw crusher to replace an older model Universal 42” x 32” jaw crusher.

MIMICO was engaged to review the existing primary crusher and recommend a replacement for the aging jaw crusher. The existing jaw crusher had become a bottleneck to production and needed to be replaced.

After extensive review a Metso Outotec Nordberg C120 jaw crusher was recommended.

“We reviewed the primary and secondary process using Metso Outotec’s Bruno simulation software and found the Nordberg C120 was a great match with Stevenson Aggregates' existing Metso Outotec GP300S. The ability to take a larger feed size, easy setting adjustment and automation made the Nordberg C120 an obvious choice,” explains Garth Taylor, MIMICO’s crushing & screening business manager.

The quarrying and mining market, and the wider construction industry, is an energy intensive space. Extracting, refining, and creating product from raw material has long required heavy use of traditional diesel fuels. With growing legislative and social pressure to reduce carbon emissions, the heavy equipment world is needing to innovate; and Sandvik is leading the charge.

Sandvik is committed to using engineering and innovation to make the shift towards more sustainable business. Integrating sustainability into our business model and ways of working creates value for all stakeholders: customers, employees, shareholders as well as society.

MIMICO offers a full range of leading brand equipment, parts, service and engineering support for quarrying and mining operations in New Zealand.

Metso Outotec's range of static and mobile crushing and screening equipment is well known in the New Zealand market, with a reputation built over decades of performance. MIMICO also offers complementary brands, including MDS trommels, Superior Industries wash plants and conveyors, and the IMS range of mobile equipment.

These equipment brands are backed by MIMICO’s extensive OEM and indent parts supply, a nationwide, factory-trained service support team, and the in-house MIMICO Engineering team.

A once per year event where the AQA and the IOQ do a tremendous job in facilitating interaction, socialising and the sharing of experiences for all those involved in the quarrying industry. This year they exceeded expectations, bringing together a record number of industry professionals to raise standards and share knowledge which are the principles that guide the Institute of Quarrying today.
