McLanahan UltraWASH Provides Tri-Parish Sand and Gravel with Clean Product in a Compact, Modular
Plant
Tri-Parish Sand and Gravel is a dry mining operation located in Walker, Louisiana. They produce C-33 concrete sand, pea gravel and #57 concrete gravel for use in their ready mix operation, Parish Ready Mix.
Challenge
James Nolan, who owns Tri-Parish Sand and Gravel with his wife, Gail, has always been concerned about the cleanliness of the products they use in their ready mix facility. They strive to deliver quality products on the concrete side of their business, which starts with the material used to make those products.
To better control the quality of their concrete products as well as lower their production costs so they could pass those savings onto their customers, the Nolans purchased land for dry mining their own sand and gravel. They looked at a few wash plants in different parts of the country for processing the feed and separating it into the various products needed at their ready mix facility.
Solution
In 2020, Tri-Parish purchased the McLanahan UltraWASH 6206 Modular Wash Plant that debuted at CONEXPO/CON-AGG in Las Vegas. Availability was a key factor in the purchasing decision. Tri-Parish needed a wash plant quickly, and the McLanahan UltraWASH offered an entire wet processing plant in one compact, modular unit that was ready to run. [CONTINUE READING]
