Our Expertise
Cement plants and quarries run high-throughput crushing and conveying lines where a blockage or a premature wear failure stops the whole line. We supply the equipment that addresses both: IC Boom System hydraulic booms to clear crusher and grizzly blockages without manual entry, and material handling and filtration equipment selected for constant particulate abrasion. Supply, installation inside the planned outage, commissioning and the critical spares list are handled as one package rather than as separate purchases.
Problems we address
- Crusher and grizzly blockages stopping the production line
- Manual blockage clearing exposing crews to serious hazards
- Constant particulate abrasion shortening equipment life
- Narrow planned outages with no room for schedule slippage
Equipment
Equipment in scope
- Primary and secondary crushers and their chambers
- Grizzly decks, hoppers and conveyor transfer points
- Material handling lines in abrasive service
- Dust and effluent filtration equipment
Constraints
Operational Constraints
- High-throughput particulate abrasion (clinker, limestone, slag)
- Heavy vibration on crushers and mills
- Dust-laden atmosphere requiring ATEX-compliant equipment
- Planned kiln outages that cannot slip
Products
Recommended equipment

Sector FAQ
Is an unblocking boom justified on our crusher?
The question turns on how often blockages occur, the downtime they cost and the risk taken during manual clearing. We assess all three before proposing a configuration — and we say so if the investment is not justified.
Can you install during a planned cement plant outage?
Yes. Installation is planned from the outage dates, with interface review and lifting plan issued before delivery to avoid surprises on the day.
