Lafarge Tarmac Conveyor System
How Hoverdale saved Lafarge Tarmac £44,520 in the first year with a new system and £25k per annum thereafter
The Situation
12 conveyors in the system
4 are fitted with a German cleaner
4 are fitted with an antiquated system
1 is fitted with a Hoverdale ‘P’ type from 1995
4 have no cleaners
“We are happy with the service we receive from our German supplier but the costs are higher than we had budgeted for.”
