Companies Gearing Up
AS the latest and largest Square Impact Roller prepares to leave Broons’ Gillman factory, it seems the time is right to reflect on the 30th anniversary of this ‘ground breaking’ machine.
The concept of creating a square roller in the 1980s certainly had its sceptics, but 30 years on it is clear nothing comes close for penetration, productivity, and performance.
Used on some of the largest civil engineering projects on earth, Broons’ Square Impact Roller remains without equal to this day.
From Olympic stadiums in Sydney and London, all three Palm Island projects in Dubai, to massive international airports in Hong Kong and Qatar – all have benefited from the giant “thumper” developed and perfected right here in Australia.
The Broons Square Impact Roller is a proven performer in reducing costly tyre damage in the mining industry by eliminating sharp destructive rocks and for improving haul roads, tip heads, waste dumps and the construction of tailings dams.
Built with more than 50 years of manufacturing nous from this South Australian firm, all Broons rollers are tried and tested in the field and backed up with vigorous stress analysis software from concept to delivery.
Going through final checks is Broons’ massive BH-1950MS Square Impact Roller, destined for a mine in Far North QLD.
With a module width of 1.95m, this unit is 50 per cent wider than the standard machine and has a ground pounding operating weight close to 20 tonnes.
Nothing else on the market is as fast and effective at rubbilising sharp loose rock.
Quick and easy-to-use, the Broons Impact Roller is totally devoid of complicated computers, electronics and hydraulics – all of which are susceptible to high maintenance.
