GLB Crushing Services is a family-owned Australian business that’s been operating since 1996. Built by operators, for operators, their business is grounded in decades of firsthand experience across contract crushing, screening, and plant sales and hire within the civil, mining, and infrastructure sectors. From humble beginnings with just a truck and an excavator, they’ve grown into a trusted, multi-arm operation known for their straightforward approach, providing quality machines, skilled technicians, and getting the job done right.
On a recent project for a Tier 1 contractor, GLB faced the challenge of managing 25,000 tonnes of reinforced concrete directly on-site. The job required meeting strict grading specifications, removing embedded steel, and ensuring full compliance with safety standards, all while maintaining the project’s schedule. To achieve this, they deployed a mobile, multi-stage crushing circuit.
At the front end was the Powerscreen Premiertrak 760 Jaw Crusher, a high-capacity primary crusher engineered for tough applications. With an output potential of up to 800 tph, it offered the strength and throughput needed to handle large volumes of reinforced concrete with ease.
The material was then moved to the Warrior 2400, one of the largest and most heavy-duty mobile scalping screens on the market. With its two-deck screenbox, the Warrior 2400 is built for high-capacity operations and aggressive material separation. It provided a precise classification of material, ensuring consistent screening before the final stage.
To complete the material flow, the Powerscreen 1300 Maxtrak Cone Crusher refined the product to meet the required spec. This high-performance tracked cone crusher is designed for secondary applications and features an automated crusher setting system for optimal performance. Powered by a 300hp engine, the 1300 Maxtrak offers a throughput of up to 350 tph, depending on feed size and material. Its closed-side setting capabilities allowed the team to hit the final grading requirement of 80% passing through 19.8 mm while maintaining efficient throughput and product consistency.
By processing the entire 25,000 tonnes of material on-site, GLB eliminated the need for transport, reduced environmental impact, and delivered a compliant, reusable product ready for immediate use. Embedded steel was removed with magnet-equipped excavators and sent for recycling, adding further value to the operation and reducing waste.
We’re proud to support GLB in their work. By supplying the equipment that powers their operations, we help them stay productive, efficient, and meet the demands of complex, large-scale projects. Their success shows what can be achieved when dependable gear meets the skill and determination of a team that truly knows their craft.
