6th December 2011
Recently supplied by the UK distributor, Tamworth based Aggregate, Processing and Recycling Ltd (APR), Oakfield Construction has invested in a new McCloskey J50 Tracked Jaw Crusher for duties within their Recycling Division.
Based in Nottingham, Oakfield Construction was established in 1987, initially carrying out work as sub-contract engineers working for local ground working contractors as well as national construction companies. This led to the company moving into civil engineering/groundwork’s working for local and national companies.
Today the company is divided into three companies within the Construction, Plant and Transport and Recycling Industries. Oakfield Recycling is based at Wigwam Lane Industrial Park, Hucknall in Nottinghamshire where the new McCloskey J50 Tracked Jaw Crusher is employed on processing incoming waste feeds. These waste feeds originate from the general public and industry and mainly consist of brick, concrete, tiles, tarmac and topsoil which the company process and recycle into end products. These end products include 6f2, hard-core, type 1 consisting of concrete and tarmac, road planings, fill sand and topsoil and various size gravels which are then sold back to the general public, industry or used for Oakfield projects.
The J50 has proved to be an efficient and reliable workhorse. Mark Flint – Director, commented, “Overall we are very pleased with the machine; it has provided us with greater productivity with less fuel usage.”
Offering quality, durability, and productivity the J50 provides throughput and capacity for a wide variety of applications. Weighing in at 48,000 kg the versatile performer is powered by a 350HP CAT C9 engine and processes material through a 50'' wide Telsmith Jaw incorporating a user friendly control panel with excellent machine diagnostics. Supplied with several optional features the McCloskey J50 Tracked Crusher specification at Oakfield Recycling includes:
- Side conveyor
- Overband magnet
- Remote control feeder

With branded components throughout and a high efficiency diesel hydraulic system providing higher throughput and lower fuel consumption the new machine is backed by a professional parts and service package supplied by APR who has an accumulation of over thirty years of experience in the construction industry. This experience has been gained from design, manufacture, sales and servicing of all types of construction equipment, specializing in crushing and screening equipment.
Employing all their own fully trained service staff within an 18,000 sq. ft. workshop facility complete with all the necessary equipment to service, or if necessary manufacture new parts at their Tamworth site, APR maintain full control of their staff and facilities allowing the company to operate at maximum efficiency, offering a total after sales service package.
