CRUSHERS & SCREENS.

Major players are bringing in breakthrough technologies in the latest range of crushers and screens.

Rise in the use of crushing and screening systems in commercial and industrial applications such as in building construction, recycling, and mining is a key factor enhancing the expansion of crushing and screening systems market. Incorporation of technology in the features of crushing and screening systems and rising adoption of technologically advanced crushing and screening systems is projected to fuel the market. Especially, growing automation in the mining and construction industry is further boosting the market.

More productivity at lesser cost of ownership, for a longer term' seems to be a major factor in choosing plant and machinery in general. This demand pull from the end-user segments for more efficient and better performance has had a huge impact on the design trends and the product offerings from OEMs.  Same the case is the suppliers of crushers and screens. Vendors are bringing in breakthrough technologies in the latest range of crushers and screens that offers better productivity and ease of operation. As the fuel prices keep going up, most of the vendors coming out with 'feature upgrades' to increase the fuel efficiency. There has been renewed thrust in the road sector which has brought resurgence to the CE industry and this demand trend has also been reflecting in the sales performance of crushers and screens over the last couple of years.

“Due to new road projects being rolled out, there was an increase in demand for construction and road building equipment and with these the demand for aggregates is  also  increasing  where  green field  projects  and  expansion  from  2  to  4 laning  and  4 to  6  laning  is  being  taken  up. This has boosted the demand for crushing and screening   units.  Also the development in road and rail sector will see a huge surge in demand for aggregates for construction. The new urban infrastructure projects also add up to the demand for aggregates and consequently for crushing and screening equipment'. Says Ramesh Palagiri, Managing Director & CEO.

The incorporation of technology in the features of crushing and screening plants and its increased usage are fuelling the market growth in this sector. Automation in the mining and construction industry is also a key factor in propelling the industry growth. Track plants operated with electric power rather than by hydraulic means is the latest trend. They provide considerable savings in operation cost. V Senthilkumar, Managing Director, Propel Industries.

Major players are bringing in breakthrough technologies in the latest range of crushers and screens that offers better productivity and ease of operation. In the last couple of years, most of the growth in C & S has come from the road sector, and this trend will continue for next 2-3 years. Meanwhile the crushing industry expects the mining and especially the iron ore segment to pick up which augurs well for the industry growth.
