Screening and Crushing

 A big name in the gravel screening and crushing world is McCloskey International, founded in Canada, with a big plant and world headquarters in Keene, ON, near Peterborough. Since 2019 as an independently operated part of the giant Finnish company Metso Outatec, McCloskey also has factories in India and Ireland. It is my guess that the two pieces of screening equipment spotted today, arrived by ship from the latter location, via Liverpool, England.

When I saw them they were about to be hauled away by a pair of Equipement St-Germain trucks. The similarly spec'd rigs were a Kenworth with an Aerodyne sleeper and a Peterbilt with a mid-rise sleeper. St-Germain is a machinery sales, service and rental operation with its own oversize transport division, with operations in St-Julie, QC and Lévis, QC.


Both of the McCloskey units were were crawler tracked and Cat powered. The Kenworth was hauling an R155 model screener and the Pete had what I believe was a S190 vibratory screener.

The screeners can be used in a variety of operations including quarrying, mining agriculture, demolition and waste disposal. See McCloskey's range of screeners at: https://mccloskeyinternational.com/products/screeners/
