Quarry Fuels

The movement of quarry fuel around one site is well travelled to say the least! We thoroughly understand this and therefore assure you any new installation we provide managing quarry fuels does not lose a drop of it in its movement around the terrain.

Fuelling multiple items of plant via a bowser driving deliveries to them in a vast and rugged terrain requires good fuel management.

Management of quarry fuels

On most mining sites there is a mix of both static and mobile refuelling required. Smaller plant and vehicles can pull up to a conventional fuelling point and use a fuel pump as normal. Larger plant and fixed equipment such as graders and generators will need to be fuelled from a mobile fuel truck or bowser. This is how our fuel management system works with quarry fuels.

The Jigsaw fuel management monitors vehicles fuelling at the static fill points. They are issued with a handheld tag fixed to the vehicles key ring. This identifies the vehicle to the system and automatically allocates fuel drawn to that vehicle. A Jigsaw Eclipse system would be fitted on the Static Fuel Island.

The Fuel Bowser is fitted with a Jigsaw Nova system so that mobile refuelling has the same level of security as the static fill points. Each piece of static plant is fitted with an ID tag which is read by a Handheld Scanner (Jigsaw FuelWand).

The driver takes the hose to the plant, scans the tag and the fuel flow is enabled. This ensures that the fueller is always in control of the fuel hose during the fuelling reducing any opportunity for spillage.

Fuel Stocks transferred from the static tank to the fuel bowser are managed properly as stock movements by using a tank transfer tag. If needed, driver tags may also be issued so that the person drawing the fuel may also be identified.

Quarry fuel pump servicing

The average aggregate worker appreciates machinery, equipment and engineering. Many of our quarry fuel customers pride themselves on good maintenance and so do we.
