Eastern Cape quarry operator ZiNcede Ngokwatho Housing, or ZKH as it is better known locally, has made significant additions to its existing crushing plant.

The decision was made not only to meet increasing demand for its existing products, but to exploit new market opportunities within the construction and housing industries.

The Matatiele-based operator has taken delivery of a GFH 560 grizzly feeder and Pilot Modular MC 10600 and MC 13600 conveyors which will be integrated with its existing fleet of Pilot Modular products.

These include a Twister AC06 vertical shaft impact crusher, a Pilot Modular BR0605 horizontal impact crusher and materials handling equipment.

Sandro Scherf, CEO of Pilot Crushtec International, explains that the value adding ability of Pilot Modular products will significantly expand the customer’s product offering.

“The revised plant will initially be set up for the production of G5 Sabunga material, however ZKH is experiencing increasing demand for a whole host of additional products that it can now supply. The plant upgrade gives the company the ability to add at least seven new offerings to its existing product range.”

ZKH had to react swiftly to demands from its customer base and Pilot Crushtec International was able to provide an immediate response to its needs.

“The Pilot Modular concept has, as its cornerstone, the ability for operators to reconfigure or add to their plants as and when required. For this reason, one of our major imperatives is the ability to supply all Pilot Modular products ex-stock,” he concludes.
