High-altitude aggregate production is a tough nut to crack, especially for first-time investors. This is a story of 70TPH stationary crusher plant successfully operating at 4,000 meters above sea level in Cusco, Peru, revealing how professional equipment customization and full-process support help novice investors overcome plateau challenges and start their aggregate business smoothly.
Client Demand: Tap into Aggregate Market with Highland River Stone Crushing
Our client, a local investor aimed to seize the booming demand for construction aggregates in Peru by investing in a river stone crushing project. The project site is located at an altitude of 4,000 meters in the Peruvian Highlands, where abundant river stones are available as raw materials. The core demand was to obtain a stable, efficient crushing solution that could adapt to the harsh plateau environment, process river stones into qualified aggregates for sale, and achieve profitable operations. As a first-time investor in the crushing industry, the client had no experience in equipment selection, installation, or operation, and urgently needed one-stop professional support from equipment supply to on-site commissioning.
Challenges: Dual Dilemmas of Highland Environment and Lack of Experience
The client faced dual challenges that made the project particularly arduous. Firstly, the 4,000-meter high-altitude environment brought severe tests to the crushing plant for Peru. Thin air and low oxygen levels would easily lead to insufficient engine power and reduced operational efficiency of traditional crushers, while large temperature fluctuations could affect the stability of hydraulic systems and electrical components. Secondly, the client’s lack of industry experience caused great confusion—they could not determine the type of crusher suitable for river stone crushing, nor did they understand the installation procedures and operational precautions. The client once worried that the project would fail due to inappropriate equipment selection or incorrect operation.
Our Solutions: Customized Selection + Full-Process Escort
Targeting the client’s needs and challenges, we provided a tailored solution centered on a 70TPH stationary aggregate crushing plant. This customized solution combines jaw crusher and cone crusher component. In terms of equipment selection, we chose a stationary crusher after in-depth analysis: river stone has moderate hardness and uniform particle size, and stationary equipment offers higher stability and efficiency for long-term fixed-point crushing, which is more suitable for large-scale aggregate production than mobile crushers in the plateau environment with relatively stable construction conditions.
During the production phase, our sales team regularly took photos and videos of the production progress and sent them to the client, allowing them to clearly grasp the equipment manufacturing status and eliminating their worries about product quality and delivery time. After equipment delivery, our ANDAMINE engineers rushed to the high-altitude site to guide the installation work in person.
Final Results: Stable Operation Achieves Smooth Start of Business
With our customized solution and full-process support, the 70TPH stationary crusher plant was successfully commissioned and has been operating stably since then. The Andamine equipment maintains efficient production capacity even in the 4,000-meter high-altitude environment, processing river stones into high-quality aggregates that are popular in the local construction market.
The client’s aggregate business has achieved a smooth start, and the stable equipment operation and qualified products have laid a solid foundation for long-term profitability. The client expressed that the professional equipment customization and thoughtful on-site support completely solved their worries about inexperience and plateau operation, and they highly recognized our product quality and service level.
