The Shetland Isles are currently experiencing an oil and gas boom triggered by the development of gigantic gas fields 125km north-west of the islands. At Sullom Voe, the need for crushed stone is rising rapidly to support this economic growth, which is why Ellis Nicolson, operations manager and director of EMN Plant Ltd, decided to invest in a new jaw crusher. Since November 2012, EMN Plant have been quarrying the hard and abrasive granodiorite which predominates at Scatsta Quarry. After the opening of the quarry, EMN Plant decided to use a Kleemann crusher and initially rented an MC 110 Z. 'We used this jaw crusher for roughly one year and were quickly convinced of the performance and product quality. During this time we crushed approximately 180,000 tonnes of stone,' said Mr Nicolson.
