en.Wedoany.com Reported - McLanahan is expanding operations at its Anaconda Equipment facility in County Tyrone, Northern Ireland, which it acquired in 2019. Alongside the capacity expansion, spare parts inventory will also be increased to support European customers.
The Anaconda Equipment product line has now become central to McLanahan's future growth, reflecting a fusion of U.S. and Northern Irish technology and expertise. Cory Jenson, Vice President of Business Development, noted that McLanahan is installing proven crushing and screening technology from its U.S. parent company onto Anaconda Equipment's mobile chassis, targeting a growing market with the goal of increasing market share.
Alastair Forsyth, President of Anaconda Group, stated that the brand's tracked crushers have achieved significant sales success, with the product range continuously expanding since the launch of the first unit in 2021. Earlier this year, Anaconda introduced its largest model to date, the I14R impact crusher, powered by a Caterpillar C13B diesel engine, featuring a proven McLanahan crushing chamber (measuring 1.193 m × 1.295 m) and equipped with a 4.26 m × 1.26 m double-deck screen box. Despite its high throughput, the I14R has a transport weight of 56.7 tons, offering good mobility. New additions to the mobile crushing series also include the C12 and C12R tracked cone crushers, the IT10 tracked impact crusher, and the J10 tracked jaw crusher.
Anaconda showcased the J12 tracked jaw crusher at the Hillhead exhibition, which features a robust jaw crushing chamber and an energy-efficient hydraulic system, enabling high-capacity primary crushing suitable for demanding quarrying and recycling applications.
Anaconda's new-generation ProPOD screening machines benefit from a faster bearing replacement design, allowing for quick return to operation. This system has been applied to the new ProPOD 100, 200, and 300 screening models. According to Donal McNicholl, Sales Director, these units improve maintenance access and employ a novel vibration system that achieves a wider range of screening frequencies compared to competitors.
McLanahan's latest acquisition in Europe is the more compact Rubble Crusher series. Liam Holland, Business Line Director, stated that the new tracked RC-J72 model is designed for confined spaces, suitable for tasks such as crushing demolition materials.
Parent company McLanahan also claims to offer a broader range of processing and material recovery technologies than its competitors, now providing various new systems to reduce downtime. These include an innovative filter press system that enables faster replacement of filter press cloths without disassembling as many machine components as previous generations. McLanahan sees significant potential in this technology and plans to expand capacity at its Italian facility to meet anticipated demand. Additionally, the company offers new Discovery equipment with a throughput of 50 tons per hour, specifically developed to meet the needs of low-cost producers; the company claims that despite its smaller capacity, the Discovery equipment is efficient and provides customers with high-quality products.
