With the other machine, you had to walk up to a difficult-to-navigate computer screen. If something goes wrong, you can shut down faster and diagnose the problem and correct it. “With its remote control, I can adjust everything, including the distance of the curtains off the blow bars, or open up the return conveyor.

“The Kleemann is so much more advanced than the other machine we were using,” he said. We needed a higher capacity crusher, and we needed to meet DOT standards, so the Kleemann impact crusher was the way to go.”Īccording to Plushanski, Kleemann’s touch screen control system was one asset of the machine that sold GreenRock on the MR 110 Z Si EVO2. We were unable to meet size specs, and we could not get DOT certification for 1 1/2-inch material, which a lot of contractors need for big jobs. It also did not have a screening system, and that was part of the problem we weren’t able to sell material, as flat ‘pancake’ pieces larger than 2 inches would just drop through the jaw.

“Concrete was coming in so fast that the piles grew even as we were crushing. “ like crazy, and that little crusher was going 40 hours a week and not putting a dent in the stockpiles,” Plushanski says. GreenRock’s Kleemann crusher replaced a small 1,000-ton per day jaw crusher, which was inherited from an existing construction business, that the company originally used to crush incoming material. Handheld remote permits quick setting of crusher on the fly. But as a certified clean fill, shale can be used anywhere,” Plushanski explains. The shale can be used very much the same way as RAP, except that shale has more uses, as New Jersey is very strict on how RAP is used. “We’re just trying to bring our site down to road grade, so we have one nice level property. In addition to recycling, GreenRock has a small shale quarry on its property in Clinton, which it rips to produce certified clean fill. We balance the cost of processing by charging tipping fees in addition to the product sales.”

And we receive clean asphalt to make RAP. “But now we receive brick, blocks and concrete, which we commingle to make recycled concrete aggregate. “Our permitted recycling initially wood-as in tree parts only, including stumps, wood chips and logs,” Plushanski says. Plushanski explains that the crusher was pivotal in helping the company evolve from its initial emphasis on wood processing. “And our RAP is used mostly as a base material, which also is highly compactable and affordable.” “Our Kleemann crusher makes a very nice, clean RCA that compacts well, looks like 1 1/2-inch-minus dense graded aggregate, yet is less than half the price,” Mike Plushanski, general manager of GreenRock Recycling, says. Thanks to its investment, the company has been able to produce a New Jersey Department of Transportation-certified recycled concrete aggregate (RCA) and processed reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) product that has a robust market with contractors in the Garden State, the company says. However, sensing an opportunity, the company invested in a Kleeman Mobirex MR 110 ZSi EVO2 impact crusher, manufactured by the Wirtgen Group, in late 2016 to help it process stone and aggregates. The company, which is a division of the Brian Plushanski Construction Company, started out in 2012 offering standard and dyed mulch, topsoil, mason sand and screenings. GreenRock Recycling LLC, Clinton, New Jersey, is a construction and demolition recycling company serving residential, municipal and commercial customers throughout the state.
