Family businesses from around the globe are working together to deliver crushing equipment tailored to support Australian quarries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Paul Kerr has spent more than 30 years in the quarry equipment business. During this time, he has visited dozens of factories, learning what makes them tick and how they build equipment for the Australian environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He brings this experience to his role as Onetrak\u2019s national manager for crushing and screening. His responsibility is to liaise with original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) for the Australian-based family business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of these OEMs is Anaconda,<\/a> which itself is a family business based in Northern Ireland. It specialises in designing, manufacturing, and supplying trommels, crushers, and screens for the material handling sectors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Originally founded in 2005 as sub-contractor specialists, Anaconda was acquired by another family business \u2013 the McLanahan Corporation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s dynamic to work with three different family businesses, across three different continents,\u201d Kerr told Quarry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe can get technical support from the factory \u2013 and not just from Northern Ireland. Reciprocal engineers in the United States means we have someone available across 16 hours a day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhile they support us, we can also support them.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Australian quarry industry has unique demands. This is why Kerr was an ideal person to work alongside Anaconda\u2019s design team. He said the three main issues facing Australian equipment are the heat, the dry climate, and geographical remoteness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe\u2019re quite unique as a market segment, and we\u2019re an area where Anaconda wants to make a difference,\u201d Kerr said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHeat mostly affects screens. They\u2019re hydrostatic and hydraulically driven. High temperatures can affect the longevity of seals and hoses, which can cause a loss of efficiency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThere\u2019s also a need to make sure the viscosity of the oil is the right level, and heat plays a major role. It\u2019s important to make sure that every component is appropriate for the hot weather and high ultraviolet radiation.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A dry climate means dust ingress can become a major problem. If dust manages to get into bearings and seals, it can significantly reduce the reliability of a machine. Placement of the bearings can also reduce the risks of dust ingress. To address these issues, Kerr visited the Anaconda factory and spent three days working with the company\u2019s engineers. During this time, he reviewed the Anaconda machinery bit by bit, consulting with the Northern Ireland team to make sure the products would be fit for Australian conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kerr had visited the company\u2019s factory a decade ago and said the McLanahan Corporation\u2019s investment had enhanced it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019ve been to all of the major manufacturing facilities for this type of equipment in Northern Ireland, and Anaconda\u2019s paint facility is the best I have seen,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe software they use is on the cutting edge. With McLanahan\u2019s help, they have been able to incorporate the latest technology, from hydraulic flow to finite element analysis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt is all used to make sure each machine meets the company\u2019s standards, using the right materials.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Onetrak is more than just the official Australian dealer for Anaconda. It is also part of the company\u2019s consulting team for developing new products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kerr was impressed at how quickly his feedback was taken on board. Where it might have taken months for these changes to be made in another manufacturer\u2019s process, Anaconda was able to update the design almost immediately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOne of the most important things about Anaconda is its versatility. They\u2019ve been around for a decade and have been improving their designs from day one,\u201d Kerr said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThey\u2019ve designed machines that offer good value for money. The whole design concept is to create a dependable workhorse and have been able to make them even more reliable for the Australian market.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This reliability is vital for Australian quarries. Not only is Northern Ireland on the other side of the world, but often quarries cannot afford to wait for replacement parts if a machine breaks down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To solve this problem, Onetrak has eight branches that are spread across the country. Each branch carries important components and wear parts for the crushing and screening sector. In addition, a full fleet of trucks lets the company\u2019s teams support quarries around Australia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Its distribution centre in Melbourne supports these branches, and its partnerships in Asia, North America, and Europe help keep the stock of spare parts high.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kerr said if anything needs to be done quickly, each branch has teams of specialists that can move quickly for emergency breakdowns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe\u2019re continuing to expand,\u201d he said. \u201cWe\u2019re looking at opening up another office this year.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe\u2019re also excited to celebrate a major milestone. This year, we will have delivered more than 500 Anaconda machines into Australia over the past decade.\u201d <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
