Contract crushing service
Stornoway’s portable cone crusher is like no other machine in the southern hemisphere. Purpose built for our quarrying operation in northern Tasmania, the crusher offers the following benefits:
- right angle feeder hopper with tipping grizzly to suit loader feed operations
- takes up to 250mm feed size
- 1235mm cone size powered by a 350hp Cummins motor
- can produce 20mm minus output (at up to 150 tonne per hour)
- 16:1 reduction with a 92% single pass
.
Robust construction also suits the recycling of concrete and bricks.
Stornoway’s Fintec 542 screening plant is ideal for screening material such as:
- sand
- top soils
- aggregate
- road base

The Fintec screen can output up to 3000 tonne per day (based on a 10 hour day).
Material is provided to the crusher via Daewoo 400 wheel loaders with 6m3 buckets.

Project scoping
The key to the success of any water or wastewater project is good planning. Whether you’re developing a greenfields site or just upgrading your infrastructure, we can guide you through scoping and planning for the water and wastewater component.
Outline of treatment options, capital and operating cost budgets and project specification are all provided.
If you need to submit a development application, our intimate understanding of environmental regulations and experience in the handling of water and wastewater approvals helps to streamline that process and get you through with minimum difficulty.
Greenfields site preparation works
Our background in civil construction enables us to address all aspects of site preparation required for the installation of our factory-built wastewater treatment systems. Works such as pump station and storage tank installation, pad construction, pipelines, drainage and fencing can all be completed.
This one stop approach means Stornoway can take responsibility for providing a complete treatment solution.
Installation and commissioning
All our water and wastewater treatment systems are supplied with a complete installation and commissioning service.
Once freighted to site, our plant technicians complete all service connections and implement a comprehensive plant start-up procedure. They then oversee the plant commissioning phase to ensure the system will consistently meet all performance requirements.
Depending on the type of system and the performance standards required, commissioning may involve periodic monitoring and fine tuning over a period of days, weeks or months.
Plant servicing
Sewerage, wastewater and water treatment plants utilise components and processes that are affected by the quality of the influent (what goes into the system) as well as the climate. Some of the factors that can change the characteristic of sewerage and process from a mining camp include:
- A change in cooking style
- A change in cleaning chemicals
- Very hot or very cold days.
This is particularly relevant for sewerage treatment plants which use living organisms in the treatment process.
Stornoway has combined our significant operational knowledge with the 35 years’ combined experience of our engineers to maximise the ability of our plants to withstand such variations.
Some of our improvements including hard-faced seats on seals, stainless steel impellors on pumps and the installation of alarms and monitoring equipment so we know when the plant has been affected by a treatment variation.
However, the most important component is the operator. Our experience shows that they must have the necessary experience and training to monitor the equipment.
Changes in operational conditions of the plant can usually be corrected before they start to affect dependability. But if the operator doesn’t have the right knowledge or training, the treatment process may degrade to the point when it stops. Water and sewerage treatment plant are an essential component on any mine site – particularly the isolated ones – so not having sewerage or potable water in a camp will have a significant impact. In fact, it could mean all site operations stop!
Stornoway understands the critical nature of these plants and our staff are trained and skilled in carrying out servicing and maintenance.
Before we start servicing, operation or maintenance, we install a SCADA smart communications system onto the treatment plant. This back-to-base support allows our technicians and engineers to monitor the plant operation from our Australian support hub and made any needed adjustments.
We also understand that customer need will vary depending on the skill of site personnel. That’s why we offer three levels of service to suit your needs.

Plant performance monitoring
- Engineers being able to see the operational status of plants instantly, removing the need to travel to the site to see the plant’s situation;
- Providing greater control of plant operations; and
- Reducing the risk normally associated with small scale, user operated plants in regional and remote locations.
- Be careful about what goes into the systems (especially down drains or into sinks)
- Keep up a regular plant maintenance schedule
- Ensure only trained or qualified personnel supervise the plant.
So how do you ensure optimal operation?
Wastewater and sewage treatment systems are a fact of life on a mine site and other remote location ventures and making sure they operate at optimal levels is essential.
Stornoway understands this and has smart communications systems that allow the remote monitoring and maintenance of these treatment systems in isolated and remote sites right across Australia and SE Asia.
We successfully use our remote monitoring technology to bring a number of benefits to customers in the smooth operations and maintenance of plants. These include:
There are also some tips that Stornoway can provide that will help ensure ongoing smooth plant operation and these are:
