or the folks at Pioneer Materials (a memberof the Oldcastle Materials Mid-AtlanticGroup), the decision to acquire a newdredge for their sand and gravel miningoperation at the Tarburton facility nearDover, DE, turned to finding the right
equipment for the job based on production capabilityand more importantly, reliability. After working formore than a decade with a custom designed catama-ran style cutterhead suction dredge of a foreign ori-gin, the management team at Pioneer looked for aU.S. company for a replacement when it was time tomake the change. Dredging Supply Company, LLC(DSC) proved to be the company of choice.
“We looked at several U.S. manufacturers beforedeciding to go with a Marlin class dredge from DSC,”said Jeff Dawson, general manager for PioneerMaterials. “We were looking for a dredge that couldmeet our production tonnage requirements, with an
overall history of reliability throughout the industry.After site visits to other sand plant dredging opera-tions, using a variety of brands of dredging equip-ment, we agreed that the DSC Marlin class unit wasthe one for us. A year later, we are extremely pleasedwith our decision.”
Pioneer’s Tarburton plant is one of the largestproducers of sand on the Delmarva Peninsula.Pioneer Materials, formerly Tilcon Delaware, hasbeen serving the area for more than 25 years and isone of the area’s largest construction materials sup-pliers. Along with the operation at Tarburton, nearLittle Creek, DE, they have a second sand and gravelplant in Dover, DE. Additionally, Pioneer Materialshas stone yards in Dover, Felton, Dagsboro, DE andDelmar, MD.
The new Marlin class dredgeDawson said that the crew began assembling the
new unit at their site in January 2012. By early
spring, it was completed and commissioned intoservice. Since then, it has performed without anyunexpected problems, producing nearly 650,000 tonsof material in 2012. He said that they have met theirproduction without delay and because of the mildwinter this year, production has continued for mostof the winter. Ironically, on the sunny day that wevisited the facility, the dredge was not in operationbecause outdoor temperatures were remaining belowfreezing.
“We like for the temperatures to be above freezingto keep the processing plant from icing up,” saidPlant Supervisor Jay Clendaniel. “The dredge couldkeep operating, but the belts ice up and it makes fora real mess. Since we operate an electric dredge, wewant to have as much uptime as possible to cover theelectric costs. On days like today, we provide materi-al for our customers from the stockpiles that we buildfor this purpose.”
“The dredge supplies most of the water for the washplant since the sand and gravel is pumped to theplant in a slurry,” he said. “We are pumping at about7,200 gallons per minute when we are operating.That gives us a production rate of about 400 to 450tons per hour.”
Material processingClendaniel said that the slurry moves about 4,000
feet in total, from the dredge to a booster pump andup to the top of the plant where it passes over a newstationary screen before going through a 6 X 20Deister screen. From there it moves into a Kohlberg10 X 40 classifying tank. Twin EIW (McLanahan) logwashers finish the job with the result being a clean,light masonry or concrete sand with a third, white,golf course sand as the remaining sand product fromthis plant. Slurry water is returned to the pit.
On the gravel side of the plant, the gravel that isremoved from the slurry, passes over a Deister 4 X 10screen and through a twin McLanahan log washercoming out as 3/8-inch pea gravel, 3/4-inch concretegravel and a 1 to 2-inch stone that can be usedprimarily for landscaping and drainage applications.“We also see a lot of this used as base material forstorage tanks at gas stations,” said Clendaniel.

Pioneer from 12With plenty of reserves still in place for future
mining, Dawson and Clendaniel both see a brightfuture for this operation. “Most of our material goesnorth into Pennsylvania for asphalt, concrete andother applications within Pioneer Materials, PennsySupply and other Oldcastle companies,” saidDawson. “With this dredge begin able to mine down to74-feet; we have the capability of mining well into thefuture with this dredge. We have two sites here thatare available to us and we move the unit between thetwo pits when we have need for the material that is ineither of the pits.”

TORONTO, ON — Located right on the north shoreof Lake Ontario, the Redpath Sugar factory inToronto, Canada, relies on ships plying the St.Lawrence Seaway to bring raw sugar from SouthAmerica and the Caribbean to the inland factory. Theplant ships out sugar products nationwide for 12months of the year but, as a winter port wheretemperatures can dip to minue 20 degrees Celsius,shipping and transportation can be a challengethrough a large part of the year.
As a result, the Redpath dock is pressed all yearlong to “make sugar while the sun shines.”
The President of Redpath Sugar, JonathanBamberger, acknowledges that the need to movesugar faster off the docks is as much about econom-ics as it is about timing. “At that time, finding shipsto carry the sugar was very difficult, and having themberthed at the dock was costly. Our focus for the new
ship unloader was to get the ships in and out as fastas possible.” Starting in 2007, the RedpathEngineering team was assigned the task of upgradingRedpath’s aging cranes and transfer facility.
Last Spring, when the Seaway opened after thewinter, Redpath was ready to start clearing its dockat a greater rate than ever, thanks to its newlycommissioned SENNEBOGEN 880 EQ materialhandler. Ironically, after three years of planning,Redpath’s choice of SENNEBOGEN’s equilibriatedmachine was an “11th hour” decision that led to ahectic and challenging winter.
The need to replace two Colby rope cranes hadbeen forecast by Redpath as long as 10 years ago.After more than 50 years of service on the harbor, thetwo cranes were becoming costly to maintain and thedemand for throughput was rising. Redpath receivesmore than two dozen ships at its dock each year. TheColby cranes, with their 3-yard buckets, worked intandem to transload the 20,000 ton cargos of rawsugar to a hopper, where a conveyor moved theproduct to the factory’s storage facility. The goal forthe upgrade project was to deploy a single unloaderthat would increase the transfer rate by at least 50percent over the combined production of the twoColby cranes.
Redpath’s initial survey of equipment and practicesled them to ports and sugar refineries around theworld. It was then that they first encountered theconcept of an equilibrium crane. “I had the opportu-nity to see an equilibriated crane in operation butwas not yet familiar with SENNEBOGEN and their880 EQ unit,” said Jonathan Dunn, Redpath’s man-ager of Engineering Projects. “The idea was attractiveto me immediately. I appreciated the energy efficien-cy of the counterbalance design and the ‘positive pick’of the material handler’s fixed boom.” While ropecranes rely on the weight of the bucket or grapple to
dig into the pile, material handlers can use thehydraulics to push their attachment down andachieve a higher filling rate of the attachment. Theresult, Dunn surmised, would be a deeper, moreefficient bite into dense loads of sugar.
Dunn reports that he was also struck by the quietoperation of electric driven material handlerscompared to conventional cranes. As the city ofToronto has worked to develop its downtown harborfront into recreational and community spaces,Redpath is the one industrial facility that has chosento remain. To preserve its place here, Redpath hasadopted a number of environmental and citizenshipcommitments to the area. Minimizing noise andemissions from the dock was a high priority on theengineering team’s equipment criteria.
However, when the engineering team compiled itsinitial list of potential suppliers, SENNEBOGEN’sname was not on it. While SENNEBOGEN materialhandlers have emerged as North America’s leader inthe scrap, recycling, waste and material handlingindustries over the past 10 years, the green machinesare just now beginning to make inroads into NorthAmerican ports. “At that point, I still wasn’t familiarwith SENNEBOGEN,” reported Dunn. “After we putout our initial request for proposals, we had fourbids, but none of them included an equilibriatedmachine. We narrowed the choice down to two singlejib rope cranes, but we weren’t really totally satisfiedwith either choice.”
Despite misgivings about noise levels and capacityin the two proposals, the team found itself at a pointwhere a decision was needed so the project couldmove forward. However, with time running out, Dunnreceived a phone call from Trevor Ash of Top LiftEnterprises in Stoney Creek, Ontario. “Trevor said he

had heard that Redpath was in the market, and couldhe have a half hour to show us what they have?”
Top Lift’s presentation covered the range ofSENNEBOGEN machines. Among them was one ofthe firm’s newest developments: the 160 tonne model880 EQ counterbalanced material handler. “Not tomake too much of it,” Dunn smiles, “but for us, itreally was love at first sight!”
Top Lift was invited to make a technical presenta-tion on the capabilities of the 880 EQ. Dunn says theteam members were encouraged by photographs ofthe 880 EQ. “We wondered why one manufacturerhad recommended against its own material handler,and had proposed a rope crane for us instead. So wewere interested in hearing why SENNEBOGENbelieved its EQ machine was the better solution.”
Prior to the final RFP being called, ConstantinoLannes, president of SENNEBOGEN LLC invitedmembers of the Redpath engineering team to meetwith the SENNEBOGEN engineering team inGermany and to see these machines in operation andtalk to other operations people. As well, they got theopportunity to further define their requirements.
With three proposals now on the table, the Redpathteam presented the bidders with a further challenge.Along with the new crane, the project called forinstallation of the complete transloading system,including a new 20-foot square hopper and conveyorsto deliver sugar to the existing conveyors in the
storage shed. The whole system would also have toconform to the load limits of the existing dock. “Wewere looking for a total turnkey solution — to be ableto just walk out the door to the dock, turn it on andgo,” Dunn said.
Of the three suppliers, only Top Lift was wellprepared for the Engineering team’s turnkey request.With diverse interests in industrial cranes, mobilematerial handlers and earthmoving equipment, TopLift is also closely connected to Greco Contracting, aspecialist in steel fabricating and construction. TheRedpath project was a natural opportunity for thetwo firms to work together on an integrated solution.
“This was a very large project for us,” Dunn admits.“It was very stressful. Seeing the strength andresources of the organizations we had to work with inSENNEBOGEN, Top Lift and Greco, it was a greatrelief.”
The team’s confidence was confirmed when Dunnwas invited to Germany to see the completed newmachine operate before being shipped to Canada.“Seeing it fully assembled and tested at the factorytook a lot off my mind. Once it got to our dock, all wewould have to do is put it back together the sameway!”
Redpath’s new machine, a 400,000-pound gantrymounted material handler equipped with a Canadiansourced Rotobec 11-yard clamshell, was able totraverse the length of the dock on four 5 wheel races.The gantry tracks are offset in height, with the racesnext to the factory wall elevated to maximize dockspace at ground level. The SENNEBOGEN large portcab operator’s station, designed specifically for portoperations, is mounted 30-feet above the dock leveland extends a full 19-foot out from its swing centre toprovide a clear direct view into the ship’s hold andinto the loading hopper.
Top Lift and SENNEBOGEN found they still hadsome hurdles to overcome. Delivery plans werecomplicated by winter conditions on the Seaway andearly blizzards along the overland truck route. Whenthe machine was finally delivered to Toronto, thework crews were restricted to a landing area on thedock just 30-foot x 30-foot, backing onto a busydowntown street, to unload the giant boom and erectthe new loading structure. Despite these difficulties,Top Lift and Greco had the project on track by thetime Toronto’s shipping season reopened, withconstruction on the dock completed and the 880 EQoperational. Dunn credits the SENNEBOGEN team
for making the extra effort to keep to their originalschedule. “Technically, they may have missed theinitial delivery date due to Mother Nature, but theymade the deadline. They simply did everything theyhad to do.”
Since then, Top Lift has continued to work withRedpath’s Engineering team and the dock staff torefine the system’s configuration and orient Redpathoperators on the new machine. As equipped, the newunloader has the capacity to move as much as18,000-pounds of sugar per cycle, compared to the4,900-pounds maximum of each former crane.Operators are also becoming more and more comfort-able with the equipment. During the most recent timetrials, Redpath operators were closing in on the peaktarget of 600 tons per hour. “In effect, the companywas looking for a 50 percent increase in totalproductivity, using one machine instead of two, “saysDunn. “I have no doubt we’ll get there.” Operators arecontinuing to train and Dunn expects to make fur-ther improvements to the dock operation, as he andhis control team explore options for automating partsof the loading system.
“Having gone through it all now, we can see thatSENNEBOGEN was the right choice,” Dunn reflects.“There’s simply no way we would be this close to ouroriginal goals at this point if we had gone any otherway.”
SENNEBOGEN has been a leading name in theglobal material handling industry for over 60 years.Based in Stanley, NC, within the greater Charlotteregion, SENNEBOGEN LLC offers a complete range ofpurpose built machines to suit virtually any materialhandling application.

When Redpath Sugar issued itsPO to Top Lift Enterprises for anew 880 EQ material handler,SENNEBOGEN put the machineon an accelerated timetable.Redpath had very little flexibilityin its timeframe for completing theconstruction and installationwork. “It had to be in the wintermonths, while the dock is idle,”explains Trevor Ash of Top Lift.“That gave us a delivery deadlineat the end of August, so we couldbe operational by spring.”
With production commencing inDecember, the 182 tonne machinewas manufactured, tested andready to ship in under 11 months.But then Mother Natureintervened.
SENNEBOGEN originallyplanned to deliver the big machinefrom Germany directly to theRedpath dock via the St. LawrenceSeaway, 900 miles inland from theAtlantic Ocean to Toronto Harboron Lake Ontario. That plan, how-
ever, was confounded at the lastminute. The shipping companyinformed SENNEBOGEN that itwas unable to guarantee themachine’s arrival before thewinter freeze on the Seaway. SEN-NEBOGEN hastily put together analternate plan, avoiding theSeaway by way of the Port ofBaltimore, then by truck 500miles through New York State toToronto.
But, as the project teamlearned, overland routes can haveproblems in winter, too. Withwaivers and police escorts careful-ly mapped out on back roads,Redpath’s 880 EQ was on its waythrough New York when the earlyDecember blizzards of 2010 upsetthe schedule again. As Redpath’sJonathan Dunn recalls, “Thepolice were called away. The roadswere snowed in. The truck anddriver were stranded at the side ofthe road for 15 days!”
The new unit finally arrived at
the Toronto dock just a few daysahead of the New Year. With limit-ed time, the installation team wasalso severely restricted in space.Redpath’s 30-foot wide dockextends out into the water andalong the length of the factorywall, and is sealed off at the endby the streets of downtownToronto. The material handler’smassive boom and undercarriagecomponents had to be lifted intoplace by cranes operating from a30-foot.square landing at thestreet end of the dock.
The work crews from Top Lift,Greco and SENNEBOGEN wereable to bring in the project on timeto meet Dunn’s schedule. “I reallyhave to give all the credit to theservice team — technically, theymay have missed the initialdelivery date due to MotherNature, but they made the dead-line. They simply did everythingthey had to do.”
Getting there: More than half the battle!
Despite the constricted space of the sugar dock,Redpath's Jonathan Dunn required stairways in place of
ladders along with well guarded catwalks and mainte-nance platforms to ensure the safety of workers through-
out the loading structure.
Four gantry races were designed to run on five wheels,three motorized, to distribute the weight of the 880 EQ
within the load limits of Redpath's existing dock.

An estimated 50 per-cent of Ohio’s aggregatesgo into the state’s roadsand infrastructure, a ma-jor topic of discussion atthis year’s Ohio Aggre-gates & Industrial Miner-als Association (OAIMA)2012 Annual Meeting andTrade Show. And whilethis can result in anynumber of permit, con-struction and otherholdups and headachesfor businesses, event at-tendees could rest as-sured that the CommonSense Initiative (CSI), an-other major topic of dis-cussion, seeks to over-come industry road-blocks.
“We hope you will useus (CSI) to intervene onyour behalf,” said OhioLt. Governor Mary Taylor.“CSI acts as an ombuds-man to eliminate bureau-cracy that holds busi-nesses back.” Taylorshared an example ofhow CSI can help withproject red tape by mak-ing calls to the right par-ties in her opening ad-
dress to OAMIA event at-tendees.
Known as the trade as-sociation that representsall of Ohio’s mining oper-ations, except coal,OAIMA goods and servic-es include mostly naturalas well as manmade con-struction materials.Among these are aggre-gates (i.e. sand, sand-stone, crushed limestone,slag, dolomite), clay, salt,gypsum, shale, buildingstone, industrial sand,cement, recycled concreteand lime. The group’s2012 Annual Meeting andTrade Show is a two dayevent. It was held at theHilton Columbus at East-on on November 15-16.
Pat Jacomet, OAIMAexecutive director notedthat attendance at theannual event was up thisyear with just over 500industry professionals inattendance. “We are veryproud of our membersand their continued sup-port of the OAIMA mis-sion, especially in thesetough economic times”said Jacomet.
Among other popular
topics at the event thisyear were discussions onhealth care costs forbusiness owners, the ris-ing costs of gasoline andother project costs.
“About 50 percent ofwhat you supply goes toroads and infrastruc-ture,” said Richard Win-ning, acting deputy di-rector finance, Ohio De-partment of Transporta-tion. “And the price of agallon of gas does havean effect on our bottomone percent growth dur-ing years 2012-2015and zero percent growthfrom 2016-2019. Mr.Winning announced a$1.7 billion constructionbudget for 2013.
Other event activitiesincluded an opening pro-cession with military per-sonnel presenting theU.S. flag and all atten-dees citing the Pledge ofAllegiance. Opening wel-comes, presentations anda general session on dayone featured OAIMA Pres-ident Dennis Phillips,Phillips Companies,OAIMA Executive Direc-tor Patrick Jacomet, Ohio
Lt. Governor Mary Taylor,Director Government Af-fairs National Stone,Sand & Gravel Associa-tion (NSSGA) James Ri-ley, Acting Deputy Direc-tor Finance, Ohio Depart-ment of Transportation(ODOT) Richard Winningand Economist ProfessorRichard Veddar.
In addition, lunch,sponsored by Stone Prod-ucts, Inc., featured for-mer OSU Football CoachEarle Bruce. A brief busi-ness meeting and elec-tions also took place atthis time. And afterlunch, attendees couldnetwork in the surround-ing sold-out trade showarea.

Sandvik Construction and Dyno No-bel held another highly successfulQuarry Academy in San Antonio, Texas.From November 13-15, nearly 100 peo-ple participated, all eager to hear aboutthe very latest developments in quarry-ing, participate in workshops, listen toguest speakers, and find out how theycould improve their processes throughinstilled expertise.
The latest Sandvik/Dyno NobelQuarry Academy was recently held inSan Antonio, Texas, and continuedthe excellent work that began in theUSA over seven years ago. The QuarryAcademy was developed in order toprovide information to for the quarry-ing professional concerning improvingthe total value chain in quarry opera-tions. This continues theSandvik/Dyno Nobel operational fo-cus of working with quarrying compa-nies to help ensure that world classknowledge is made available, pro-duces the right products/equipmentfor the right application, all with thefeatures that provide the highest lev-els of productivity, but the lowest lev-els of overall operational cost.
The latest Quarry Academy was heldat both the Omni La Mansion del RioHotel and at Martin Marietta’s Beckmanquarry. Nearly 100 participants fromdiffering backgrounds — ranging fromglobal concerns, large scale and smallerquarrying operations to distributorsand sales professionals — came fromacross North America to learn about thevery latest in quarrying, lean processesand safety. The Quarry Academy pro-
gram was conducted by Sandvik Con-struction and Dyno Nobel specialistspossessing expert knowledge, as well asguest speakers from Volvo, Friedmanand South West Research, with all top-ics being guided by the principle — “Im-proving processes. Instilling expertise.”
In order to provide integrated cover-age, the Quarry Academy program iscomprised of two sections, with an ini-tial lecture being given on the conceptof the quarrying processes examined.To ensure that attendees get the mostfrom the program, a great deal ofthought and planning goes into creat-ing an itinerary that provides the max-imum benefit, and is of interest to theassembled quarrying professionals. Inaddition, the subject matter is re-viewed annually using attendee feed-back to focus on those areas of mostinterest to those attending. Thus, spe-cific subjects included lean processes,drilling, blasting, fines and bouldermanagement, load and haul, fleet andtransportation issues, crushing andscreening, the quarrying process,quarry management and unit opera-tion efficiency. The second componentof the program consists of in-depthworkshop sessions where the facultyexperts discuss specific process im-provements in smaller, highly interac-tive groups. To further enlighten andenhance the learning, Quarry Acade-my also includes a site visit which,this year, was Martin Marietta’s Beck-man quarry where product demon-strations and explanations were givento the attendees.
In addition to a formal program ofevents and seminars, a special guestspeaker, former astronaut Mike Mul-lane, shared his insights, specificallywith regard to operational safety. Mike’s“Countdown to Safety” presentation de-livered a powerful message centered onthe individual’s role in keeping them-selves and their teams safe in haz-ardous environments. Mike’s talkproved to be inspirational and set thefocus for the final day of the program aswell as providing the audience with aunique perspective on both space traveland safe operations.
As with previous programs QuarryAcademy was successful, as it not onlyaddressed critical processes within thequarry environment, but it also pro-vided focus on the relationship be-tween each processes, how they sys-tematically interact with one another,and how the processes may be linkedin order to achieve overall operationalimprovement. All participants foundthe Quarry Academy to be highly in-formative and entertaining as well asenjoying Sandvik/Dyno Nobel’s excel-lent evening hospitality.

Did you know that besidesfounding and owning MichiganAggregate Machinery, Bill Horanleads one of the world’s largesthumanitarian charities?
Bill was raised in the sandand gravel industry, and formany years, managed a gravelpit owned by his family near De-troit. In 1985, Bill and his wifeLaura founded Michigan Aggre-gate Machinery, a company thatspecializes in used and recondi-tioned crushing, screening andwashing equipment. Over theyears they built a clientele in all
50 states and 33 countries.In early 2002, while on vaca-
tion in the Cayman Islands, Billmet Pat Robertson (founder ofThe Christian Broadcasting Net-work) who was there on a shortvacation. The Horans andRobertsons went out to dinnerwhere Bill and Pat hit it off andsoon became friends. A fewweeks later Pat asked Bill to runOperation Blessing Internation-al (OBI), a global humanitariancharity that Pat founded in1978.
Bill was astounded by the of-
fer and says he had seriousdoubts if he was up to the task,but accepted, thinking that hewould “help out for a year ortwo.” Eleven years later, OBIhas grown into one of theworld’s largest and fiscally effi-cient humanitarian relief organ-izations. Bill credits the dramat-ic growth to his managementteam and hard working staff. Hesays, “I don’t run the plays, Ijust sit on the bench and yell alot.”

Every time you wantto improve a process,you start in the sameplace. You map theprocess so that you un-derstand the processsteps. Then you identifycustomer requirementsand locate deficientprocess steps that mustchange to keep cus-tomers happy. You mayalso establish newmeasures and newcommunications. Youtrain people on newprocedures and expectchanges in efficiency,quality and culture asthe result of this work.
Time passes… andimprovements fall shortof expectations. Whatwas it that preventedyou from achievingyour goals for changedespite excellentprocess work, trainingand coaching? You fol-lowed an accepted“recipe for change,” sowhy didn’t the benefitsmaterialize? The an-swer to this questionmay surprise you.
Process improvementtheory and practice be-gan a century ago atFord Motor Company,where simple improve-ment concepts,processes and toolspositively impacted pro-duction, cost and quali-ty. By the 1920s, TQM
was born and graduallymorphed into continu-ous improvement bythe 1950s and 1960s.Six Sigma made its de-but in the 1980s andwas designed to pro-mote consistent pro-ductivity rates. Leanfollowed in the 1990swith a strong focus onminimizing delays.
Through the decades,improvement expertshave set expectationswith executives aboutthe benefits that comefrom process improve-ment work (i.e., higherprofits and culturechange). As a result,millions in additionalprofit are promised toexecutives, boards ofdirectors and share-holders. If the dollarsdon’t materialize, man-agement teams losecredibility and may be-lieve they picked thewrong improvementmethodology. Theysearch for “new and im-proved” initiatives orsystems that WILL DE-LIVER the expectedbenefits. They jumpfrom initiative to initia-tive, causing chaoswithin their organiza-tions as they search forthe “perfect process forchange.” This kind ofsearch is very expensiveand does a lot of dam-
age to culture and cred-ibility. What is the rootcause of this cycle?
I believe that 100years of improvementhistory has limited ourperspective on change.I also believe that man-agement has been mis-led by a strategy tostart change with a fo-cus on processes. Whenwe start change in thewrong place, here’swhat happens:
• We focus on budgetinstead of reaching “op-timum” performance(i.e., the best you canbe) and increase thechance of approving ex-pansion capital whenexisting capacity (al-ready paid for) has notbeen tapped.
• We believe thatprocess improvementwork will change cul-ture. The truth is thatprocess improvementwork will only changeculture IF poorly de-signed processes creat-ed the culture. Let merepeat that… processimprovement work willonly change culture IFthe processes that wereimproved created theculture! Many expecta-tions for change havenever materialized forthis reason alone.
• We ignore barriersin the management
team. These barriersare powerful changeblockers but are rarelyrecognized as such andcan even be accepted aspart of the culture. Ex-amples include poorworking relationships,resentment, baggagefrom the past, and poormanagement choices.Traditional process im-provement work WILLNOT remove these bar-riers, so we are left try-ing to change aroundthem and fail to deliverthe expected benefits.
We ignore the man-agement system for tworeasons:
• It does not createproducts or servicesthat generate revenue;and
• Management teamsbelieve that they al-ready do things theright way and no im-provement is needed.
The problem with thisassumption is thatweak managementprocesses cause capitalto be approved whennone is needed, resultin flawed cost reductionstrategies, cause silosto form between depart-ments and cause con-flict and confusion be-tween management andthe workforce.
So… if processes arethe wrong place to start
with change, what isthe right place to start?The answer is simple.Start with your barriersto change! If a logblocked the road, youwould move it to pro-ceed. If you only neededone more class to grad-uate, you would be thefirst person to sign up.Likewise, you wouldnever engineer barriersinto your processes,culture or managementsystem — why not takeimmediate steps to re-move them so thatchange is easier andfaster!
If you remove yourbarriers BEFORE youbegin a change initia-tive, you will have amuch greater chance ofdelivering the resultsyou promised. Your bot-tom line and culturewill benefit, and yourcredibility will soar withexecutives, the board ofdirectors and share-holders! Amazing suc-cess is closer than youthink — all you need isa new perspective and anew place to start!

I do the same thing in the hu-manitarian business. For example, in the days fol-lowing the Japan tsunami, I visited decimatedfishing villages and asked village leaders whatthey needed most. The answer was very specific:boats, motors, nets, anchors and fishing gear-sothat is what we provided.

NEPONSET, IL — Aglobal leader in bulk ma-terial handling has an-nounced that it has be-gun offering custom engi-neered vibration technol-ogy for manufacturers ofshakers, separators,wash plants and otherprocess equipment thatuses vibration as a work-ing force. By adding thenew capability to its ex-tensive lineup of stock vi-brators, Martin Engineer-ing will open up a wide
range of new possibilitiesfor equipment designerswho have traditionallybeen forced to engineertheir products around ex-isting vibrator models.The design and engineer-ing will be performed atMartin Engineering’s new22,600-square-foot Cen-ter for Innovation, Re-search & Development(CFI) at the company’sNeponset, IL headquar-ters.
Custom engineered
drives are already beingmanufactured at MartinEngineering locations inthe U.S. and China, andas the business grows,the firm plans to supplythem from all eight of itsbusiness units aroundthe world. “Global manu-facturers need to be ableto count on worldwideavailability of customizedsolutions like these,” ob-served VP of OperationsRobert Nogaj. “This ap-proach is part of our
evolving global businessstrategy to tailor solu-tions for specific cus-tomers and applications.”
“The target market forthese new services is anymanufacturer that sup-plies vibratory equipmentof virtually any kind,” No-gaj continued. “If anOEM has a unique needfor a drive that hasn’t
been (or couldn’t be) de-signed before, or if there’sa design for a machinethat they could not find adrive for, now there’s acost effective resource fordeveloping them.”
Martin Engineering istargeting continuousduty applications that of-ten require explosionproof construction and
multi-year reliability,backing the productswith an industry firstthree year warranty, plusthree additional years onbearings and electricalparts. A key to the newtechnology is its globalavailability, as the com-pany will be able to man-ufacture custom designs

For the more than 6000 attendees who visited the2013 AGG-1 Aggregates Academy and Expo in SanAntonio, Texas on March 19-21, there was an air ofenthusiasm that seems to have been missing atindustry trades shows of this kind for the past sever-al years. Hosted by the National Stone Sand andGravel Association (NSSGA) and produced by theAssociation of Equipment Manufacturers (AEM), theevent held at the Henry B. Gonzalez ConventionCenter, featured a wide range of aggregate relatedequipment, products and services with trade exhibitsthat incorporated the latest in technology.
As a co-event, the World of Asphalt Show andConference, owned by the National Asphalt PavementAssociation (NAPA), the two shows made an idealcompliment for one another, for show goers looking togather new ideas about equipment and methods.“We’ve received excellent positive feedback on theshows’ value to bring together so many qualified buy-ers and sellers in one place, and for the networkingand dialog with peers from across North America andinternationally,” stated Show Manager Rich Prausa.
Attendees enjoyed a number of educational oppor-tunities as more than 8,400 tickets were sold forsessions held each day. “Savvy industry professionalsrealize the importance of keeping up to date withindustry best practices if they want their businessesto stay on top; they know AGG1 and World of Asphalteducation programs are industry developed andpresented,” Prausa stated.
Industry support amplifies the shows’ networkingand knowledge sharing. The co-located groups andmeetings included Association of Modified AsphaltProducers, Oklahoma Asphalt Pavement Association,Rubber Pavements Association and Texas AsphaltPavement Association. More than 25 industry organ-izations were official supporters of World of Asphaltand AGG1 2013, and the shows are industry ownedand operated.
With nearly 400 exhibitors offering their goods andservices at this year’s trade exposition, the upbeatmood was an encouragement of things to come thisyear. “AGG1 was a great experience for our compa-ny,” said Josh Swank of Philippi-Hagenbuch. “Wewere able to see long time customers such as RodMartin of Martin Stone Quarries of Bechtelsville, PA.We were excited to hear how our tailgates are operat-ing in his operation. We also met new people withinthe industry. It’s exciting to feel the “energy” returnto aggregates!”
Karen Thompson, president of WS Tyler Canada,agreed. She was excited to participate in what shedescribed as a very busy AGG1 event. She said thatthe introduction of their mobile Hydro-Clean systemat this year’s show, was a big success for WS Tyler.
New products, like Sandvik’s Prisec™ impactcrushers and PHOENIX Process Equipment’s BucketWheel Dewatering technology, grabbed the attentionof producers who are looking to make changes intheir operations in the near future. Volvo’s introduc-tion of their P7110 series of pavers and the newDD110B compactor, gave attendees the feeling thatan industry resurgence is coming soon and alreadyhere in some locales.
AGG 1 is owned by the National Stone, Sand andGravel Association (NSSGA). World of Asphalt isowned by the National Asphalt Pavement Association(NAPA), NSSGA and Association of EquipmentManufacturers (AEM). AEM produces both shows.
The next edition of World of Asphalt and AGG1 willbe held in March 2015 in Baltimore, MD. The showsare held annually except in CONEXPO-CON/AGGyears (such as 2014), with that show spotlighting theexhibitors and products of World of Asphalt andAGG1.

WEST FARGO, ND —The upgraded interimTier 4-compliant (iT4)DL250-3 offers severalimprovements that en-hance its productivityand comfort for movingmaterials in infrastruc-ture projects, as well asbuilding, site develop-ment and livestock pro-duction applications. Thenew DL250-3 does morethan meet the iT4 regula-tions, as its improve-ments have been de-signed to result in in-creased performance andgreater reliability.
More power andgreater fuel efficiencyThe 3.7-cubic-yard
DL250-3 has been rein-troduced as a 172 hp iT4wheel loader — up from163 hp in its previous de-sign. It is engineered witha breakout force of27,120-pounds, a fullturn tipping capacity of20,680-pounds and adump height of 9-feet 2 -inches.
For those requiring ad-ditional dumping capabil-ities, the DL250-3 is alsoavailable in a high liftconfiguration, extendingthe dump height 18-inch-es above the standardDL250, to 10-feet 8-inches.
This wheel loader’s newauto idle feature providesadditional noise reduc-tion and fuel savings byreducing the working idleof the wheel loader from950 rpm to a standby idlesetting of 750 rpm whenthe machine is inactivefor a short period of time.
Increased performance
Designed with im-proved lifting perform-ance, the DL250-3 offersoperators the ability toset upper and lower lim-its for both the lift armand bucket stop positionsfrom inside the cab. Bet-ter lifting capabilities im-prove cycle times in dig-ging and loading applica-tions, while providingbetter control of the liftarm and bucket posi-tions. An optional fourthspool control valve pro-vides operators the capa-bility to utilize an attach-ment that requires an ad-ditional hydraulic func-tion, e.g., some snow-blowers and snow blades.
To keep the wheelloader running at optimalperformance in dirty and
dusty conditions, theDL250-3 incorporates anew automatic-reversingcooling fan. The operatorcan manually reverse thefan via a switch, or set itto automatically reverseon a preset time frame.Each time the fan revers-es, it will run in reversefor a few minutes to cleanthe cooling system. Thisresults in longer workinghours and shorter main-tenance time to clean thecooling system.
Operators can also ex-pect upgraded drivingperformance options. Asan alternative to thestandard limited slip dif-ferential, the DL250-3 of-fers an optional hydrauliclocking front differential.Based on ground condi-tions, the operator canchoose to lock the differ-ential manually with afloor mounted footswitch, or allow the ma-chine to automaticallyengage the system. Thisprovides increased driv-ing power when onewheel spins or loses trac-tion and improves ma-chine performance whennavigating tough terrain.
This Doosan wheelloader is equipped withsix cylinder DL06 dieselengine that has been opti-mized for use with cooledexhaust gas recirculation(CEGR) system, a dieseloxidation catalyst (DOC)and a diesel particulatefilter (DPF). Engines withthis configuration are op-timized to reduce nitrogenoxides (NOX) and aftertreatment is needed to re-duce particulate matter,to comply with iT4 emis-sion regulations.
The 360-cubic-inch en-gine features a high pres-sure common rail (HPCR)design with direct fuel in-jection, electronic controland four valves per cylin-der. The HPCR system in-creases the efficiency offuel delivery via increasedpressure. The increasedpressure allows the injec-tor to inject a finer mistinto the engine, which re-sults in a more efficientcombustion that in turnproduces more torqueand improved fuel econo-my, less noise, lower op-erating costs and cleanerexhaust.
ReliabilityService intervals on the
front lift arm pins haveincreased fivefold, from
50 to 250 hours, reduc-ing operating costs anddowntime. Tilt cylinderhydraulic hoses havebeen rerouted for im-proved hose reliability,better hose movementand improved visibility tothe attachment.
Enhanced comfortInterior cabin improve-
ments also include anumber of multi-functiondisplay panel upgradeson a centralized monitorthat allows the operatorto view comprehensive
machine system informa-tion. The centralizedmonitor displays criticalmachine information —such as engine rpm, en-gine coolant temperature,fuel level, machine warn-ings, time and the trans-mission selected gear. Akey exterior cabin im-provement is loweredfront side glass, providingimproved visibility of op-erations. A new doorthreshold makes gettingin and out of Doosanwheel loaders — and
cleaning the inside of thecab much easier.
The DL250-3 — likeevery new Doosan ma-chine — is covered by aninnovative 48 hour partsguarantee. The programguarantees that if a “ma-chine debilitating” part isneeded, Doosan will de-liver it directly to the enduser within two businessdays or Doosan will payfor a replacement ma-chine rental. The 48 HourParts Guarantee is sub-ject to carrier delivery re-strictions and/or govern-mental agency delays.

• Matthew Bell, P.E., Structural/FieldEngineer with LJB, Inc.’s Facilities Divi-sion (elected by the membership by mailballot)
Collins has been a strong leader onthe TCA’s technical committee for thepast several years as well as a memberof ACI 551 — Tilt-Up Concrete. Most re-cently, he coauthored the TCA’s newbracing guidelines and he has con-tributed to multiple articles for TCAover the years. He was responsible forthe lifting and bracing design of the Ko-rean War Veterans Memorial that wasdedicated at the 2010 TCA Conventionin Kansas City. Collins is also servingon the 2014 TCA Convention (San Fran-cisco) host committee.
“I’ve been on the receiving end of us-ing the benefits from TCA practically myentire career, and I welcome the oppor-tunity to serve on the board. Hopefullymy background in lifting and bracing onthe engineering side can bring a newperspective to the board,” said Collins.
Bell provides complete building shelldesign of low rise commercial struc-tures, including a specialty in the de-sign of tilt-up construction. As lead fieldengineer supporting the LJB’sCON/STEEL Alliance, Bell is also re-sponsible for training contractors in themeans and methods of tilt-up construc-tion. He facilitates both classroomtraining and onsite in the field training.
Further, he is currently serving as thechairperson for the subcommittee over-seeing the Tilt-Up Engineering Manualdevelopment. As chairperson, he is re-sponsible for gaining consensus on theTable of Contents from the subcommit-tee members; managing the delivery ofthe Chapters from the co-authors; coor-dinating the review activities of the sub-committee and communicating progressreports with the chairperson of theTechnical Committee and with the TCABoard of Directors
“It is a great privilege to be selectedfor the TCA Board of Directors and torepresent the tilt-up industry as awhole. I hope to bring a unique perspec-tive to the board by utilizing my experi-ence at LJB as a project manager,structural engineer and lead field engi-neer, supporting the CON/STEEL Al-lianceTM with hands-on tilt-up con-struction training,” said Bell.
TCA was founded in 1986 to improvethe quality and acceptance of site castTilt-Up construction, a method in whichconcrete wall panels are cast onsite andtilted into place. Tilt-Up construction isone of the fastest growing industries inthe U.S., combining the advantages ofreasonable cost with low maintenance,durability, speed of construction andminimal capital investment. At least10,000 buildings, enclosing more than650-million-square-feet, are construct-ed each year using this constructionmethod.

“There are many sup-pliers who provide off theshelf solutions, and wewill continue offeringconventional vibrators ina wide range of sizes andforce outputs,” Nogajcontinued. “But for thebuilders of next genera-tion equipment, we cannow deliver design op-tions that engineers havenever had before. Insteadof being limited to an offthe shelf vibrator, manu-facturers can specify theexact sizes and parame-ters they need to suit newand emerging designs.”Nogaj said that the de-signs are likely to findutility in high frequencyvibratory screens, sizingequipment, dewateringoperations and other vi-bratory equipment for theoil and gas industries, aswell as processing of coal,iron ore, gold and otherelements, silica sand,pharmaceuticals andeven food applications.
While traditional de-signs will remain a cor-nerstone of Martin Engi-
neering’s family of vibra-tion products, the com-pany is now able to cus-tom engineer the size andshape of the drives,torque curves, weight andmany other features, inboth electrical and me-chanical units. “This willallow OEMs to buildequipment that hasn’tbeen available in thepast,” Nogaj continued.“Rather than being hand-cuffed into using thestock designs that are onthe market now, they canorder the exact vibratorproperties, profile andoutput that they need.”
An important compo-nent in the decision to of-fer custom engineered vi-bration is Martin Engi-neering’s extensive newR&D capabilities in theCFI. For example, thefirm has recently addedfour massive, springmounted 10,000 poundtest blocks specifically fordevelopment and trial ofnew vibrator designs.
“This kind of capabilityis intended to serve theOEM who has vibrationneeds that are presentlyunmet,” said Global Vi-bration DevelopmentManager Brad Pron-schinske. “It will be ahuge competitive advan-
tage for manufacturerstrying to develop newproducts, giving them adesign freedom that was-n’t possible before.”
Martin Engineering’snew capabilities also in-clude sophisticated dy-namometer testing thatallows the company tomap the shape and val-ues of an electric motor’storque curve. “The dynotesting helps us analyzeexisting designs, but italso means that cus-tomers can come to us toobtain a specific torquecurve,” continued Pron-schinske. “That can be anextremely valuable assetfor new product develop-ment, and until now it’sbeen a service that hasbeen nearly impossible tofind without investinghuge amounts of money.”
Further supportingMartin Engineering’scommitment to the cus-tom engineering conceptis an endurance testingstation located outsidethe CFI, where engineerscan evaluate new vibrato-ry drives and screen de-signs on any of five differ-ent shakers. A similarstation at the company’sChina facility also fea-tures two shakers. “Theoutdoor test stations are
intended to duplicatetough real-world operat-ing conditions,” Pron-schinske added. “The set-up at CFI has one shakerdesign with a four poledrive unit that can devel-op as much as 10 Gs offorce, helping us to engi-neer the highest quality,longest lasting vibratorsin the world.”
Martin Engineering willoffer an extensive rangeof designs and featuresfor specific applications,including explosion proofmodels, vertical shaftunits, flange mounted de-signs and even low profilevibrators that can be in-corporated as part of asupport structure. “Thiscapability allows us totake a huge leap beyondthe conventional fourfooted designs that domi-nate the market today,”Pronschinske said.
Martin Engineeringvibrators deliver thehighest force to weightratio of any electric vi-brator manufacturer.

RACINE, WI — Case Construction Equipment today in-troduced the new Case 521F wheel loader, offering cus-tomers a 12 percent increase in fuel efficiency over theprevious E Series model, while delivering faster accelera-tion and quicker cycle times. The machine is available instandard Z-bar, extended reach and tool carrier models,and is the latest offering in the company’s F Series wheelloader line, which boasts premium features and industryleading performance, productivity and efficiency.
Case chose selective catalytic reduction (SCR) technol-ogy for the 521F to meet Tier 4 Interim emissions stan-dards based on the machine’s application tasks and pow-er demands. SCR results in lower temperatures in the ex-haust system while optimizing combustion.
“SCR was the obvious choice for the 521F because awheel loader’s tasks are more variable, creating inconsis-tent engine loads and power demands,” said Rob Mar-ringa, brand marketing manager, Case ConstructionEquipment. “Rather than compromise power, we let theengine do what it does best — run at peak performance— and then use an after treatment for emissions.”
According to Marringa, the benefits of SCR technologyare greater efficiency and reduced downtime becausethere’s no heightened fuel burn or diesel particulate filter(DPF) regeneration. In addition, lower ambient tempera-tures means slower degradation of lubricating oil, whichextends service intervals. Furthermore, fewer enginecomponents means less crowding under the hood and
easier access to service points. Operators also will experi-ence a faster throttle response and cleaner emissions byavoiding recirculation equipment utilizing cooled exhaustgas recirculation (CEGR) and DPFs.
“At Case, we’re committed to matching the technologywith the task, and we believe that SCR technology for ourF Series wheel loaders is the simplest, most powerful andefficient solution,” Marringa said.
Improved performance and versatilityenhance productivity
The new 521F wheel loader offers optional heavy dutyaxles, enabling it to perform more tasks such as operat-ing in scrap yards or recycling centers. These axles, withauto locking front and open rear differentials, have thesame design as the larger F series wheel loader axles, in-cluding metal face seals and sintered bronze brake lin-ings. They offer outstanding traction in all conditions, es-pecially in non-compacted surfaces like gravel and helpreduce tire wear when working on hard surfaces.
“The heavy duty axles have superior sealing capabilityand longer service lives, improving owner and operatorcosts,” Marringa said. “In addition, they can accept high-er load capacities, allowing operators to configure theunit with solid, foam filled or chain wrapped tires.”
On a 50 meter loading and dumping cycle, Case esti-mates the 521F wheel loader can make up to 56 cyclesper hour, moving up to 144-square-yards or 212 tons ofmaterial per hour.
Advanced instruments and cab improve machineand operator effectiveness
The new advanced instrument cluster (AIC) on the521F wheel loader has four operating modes, allowing op-erators and service technicians full visibility and controlof basic job functions, such as diesel exhaust fluid (DEF)level and fuel efficiency, as well as protective controls thatcan help eliminate costly repairs.
“Auto Idle is a fuel saving feature that allows for multi-ple idle rates, thereby reducing fuel consumption whileoperators are waiting for the next truck to load or task tobe completed,” said Marringa. “As an additional benefit tothe Case wheel loader customer, Automatic Machine Pro-tection recognizes a critical problem with the hydraulics,engine or transmission, and shuts down the engine assoon as the machine stops moving.”
The Case 521F wheel loader delivers class leadingcomfort and visibility and new features to improve op-erator effectiveness. Case’s Quiet Cab boasts thelargest cab in the industry, has a 70.8 decibel rating,and supplies cleaner air with a dual air filtration sys-tem. It also provides a more comfortable ride with anoptional heated air ride seat and ergonomically posi-tioned controls that ensure a long day in the cab won’treduce productivity.
“The 521F wheel loader has new options such as joy-stick steering, a rear view camera and heated side mirrorsthat allow for precise control and visibility in tough con-ditions such as snow plowing and truck loading,” Mar-ringa said.
Case’s floor to ceiling windows and improved lightingsystem continue to provide excellent visibility, from thecutting edge of a bucket to the tip of a fork.
More selection, larger attachmentsThe 521F wheel loader can handle heavier and much
larger buckets thanks to the Case coupler system thatpulls the attachment closer to the machine, providingsignificant breakout. The coupler is compatible withboth JRB and ACS attachments. Also, the addition ofover 250 new buckets, including light material buckets,rotary brooms and forks, and 4-in-1 buckets, meansthe 521F wheel loader offers even more solutions for awide range of tasks. The offering includes Case Smart-FitTM bucket tooth systems. The SmartFit system pro-vides stronger, more durable teeth and adapters, andhammerless reusable locking pins to improve diggingperformance.
The Case 521F wheel loader features a 4.5 liter Tier 4Interim-certified Case engine that delivers up to 131 grosshp. Classified as a 2.1-square-yard wheel loader, the Case521F has an operating weight of 22,856-pounds.
The standard model delivers 19,596-pounds of lift ca-pacity and 16,735-pounds of bucket breakout force, withhinge pin height of 11-foot 10-inches for efficient truckand hopper loading.
