Crushing and screening is a unique field. Apart from the crushers and the process involving it, a quarry owner has to also have control or influence on the upstream operations like mining, drilling and blasting. The lowest cost per tonne of the final crushed product can be achieved when these are planned together.  Established in 2001, Proman Infrastructure Services Pvt Ltd offers comprehensive solutions to optimise this entire process.

Current procurement trends
Commenting on the current trends in procurement of crushing and screening equipment R. S. Raghavan, Managing Director, Proman Infrastructure Services Pvt Ltd said, “Indian crushing and screening market is a matured one. The buyers and the end-user have clarity on the expectation from the equipment and the system. Customers are well aware that there are Indian companies with strong technical collaborations capable of delivering international quality products and systems at a reasonable price. So the customers are now looking for turnkey solutions and also solutions for their existing crushing systems.”

Procurement factors
To most quarry owners, the challenge is to obtain the right quality of aggregates at the right price which can be achieved by having complete control on the equipment, crushing process, after-sales and spares. “Some of the major factors that the buyer should consider before selecting crushing and screening equipment are flexibility and adaptability in the design and product mix based on the current requirement and ability to scale up with minimum cost to adapt to the change to meet future requirement. PROMAN’s efforts are always geared to educate the customer and propose design and concept to the customer keeping all this in mind,” Raghavan said.

Apart from pricing, productivity and durability today customers are looking for innovative solutions which results in better quality of their end product and long-term partnership with supplier to cater to the evolving aggregate market.

Whether to rent or buy?
According to Raghavan, the factors a buyer should consider while determining whether the buyer should rent or buy the crushing and screening equipment are:
• Duration of the project
• Potential for future expansion
• Peak demand of aggregates.
