Discovering A Profitable Solution
Daniel Burris, Co-Owner of The Rock Man, took us through his company’s journey to finding a profitable solution to handling overburden removal using the MB Crusher MB-S18 Screening Bucket. The Rock Man is located in Canton, NC, which is approximately 19-miles west of the vibrant city of Asheville, NC.
During the overburden removal process, companies must use the most technically sound and cost-effective methods. Such environmental factors include groundwater contamination, effects on natural wildlife and plants, as well as air and sound pollution.
MB-S18 Key Environmental Advantages:
- Eliminating the need for trucks
- Balancing the territory by reusing materials
- Reducing CO2 emissions
Since 2000, The Rock Man provides construction and hardscaping services, as well as stone sales. In addition, they sale various stones ranging from river rock, Virginia gray stacking boulders, building stones to mountain landscape boulders.
Left with a tremendous amount of overburden stockpiles, The Rock Man needed to find a method of not only processing the surplus, but also being able to reuse the overburden for future projects.
“We had about 750 loads of overburden from the river, hauled in river sand, river rock.”
Therefore, The Rock Man purchased the MB-S18 Screening Bucket for a faster production rate.
“We got three different screener buckets and we customed one,” said Daniel. In fact, MB Crusher provides customized solutions for companies to meet any jobsite demand. For example, the MB Crusher screening buckets are ideal for selecting and screening inert materials right onsite.
“We chose them because their production rate was faster than any other company and we just really are pleased with it!”
Often, companies like The Rock Man will use more than one attachment on a construction project, depending on the type of application. On jobsites that require crushing, screening buckets can also be used before and after the crushing phase. Thus, reducing crushing time up to 60%.
Daniel Burris describes his experience using MB Crusher attachments as “It’s been a wonderful product.”
