Case Study

Custom Spread of Portable Plants Helps Fred Weber Deliver on Colorado Granite Project

Location North Central Colorado

Industry Aggregates: Crushed Stone

The Challenge

Fred Weber, Inc., a leading contract crusher, needed a highly portable and customized crushing plant to tackle a three-year granite crushing project in the U.S. state of Colorado.

The project required a plant that flowed well between processes, plus machinery that could be set up quickly and was easily reconfigured for different job requirements..

Equipment

Liberty® Jaw
Portable Plants

The Solution

Fred Weber partnered with Superior Industries to design and manufacture a spread of fully customized portable plants, tailored to meet the specific needs of the project.

The plant includes a hydraulic control house for optimal visibility and efficiency, automated feed control systems, and customizable screens for product flexibility. Superior also provided on-site support through setup, startup, and training, with the local dealer, Power Equipment Company, assisting in site preparation.

With most plants, certain components are outsourced to different manufacturers. If there’s a problem, you’re often referred to another party, and there’s a lot of finger-pointing. With Superior, there’s only one source to go to and they always have the solution for us.
