Extec fleet ‘economic & efficient’
Mobility and reliability have led expanding business Welton
Aggregates & Surfacing Ltd to purchase a second C12+ crusher
to add to its fleet of 12 Extec machines.
The company is the largest local supplier of aggregates in
Lincolnshire and the Extec machines are working on a range of
applications at Welton’s quarries in Lincolnshire and Yorkshire.
At the very heart of the C-12+ is a set of features that puts
the machine at the forefront of mobile crushing technology.
These features include:
• Computer designed web and flange chassis for strength and

The feed then passes into the P150 crusher, then onto the
under feeder and conveyed to the large 5m x 2m double-deck
screen. Finest material is conveyed to stockpile and middle
size material is conveyed laterally to stockpile; oversize is either
returned to the hopper/crusher or radially to stockpile.
Dust suppression is also efficiently covered by an on-board
tank supplying pumped water to various sprays.
The R150C is powered by a Caterpillar C18 engine and
comes complete with fully hydraulic variable speed drive to all
components including the crusher.
