Unmatched flexibility:
Kleemann plant train and Ciber asphalt mixing plant

The expanding Brazilian company Matt/MPX operates quarries and asphalt plants, they also specialize in civil engineering and road infrastructure. Its clientele includes both public and private sector customers. Founders Joao Douglas and Douglas Matt have recognized that mobile solutions offer tremendous advantages. Douglas Matt explains: “We have already had excellent results with the Ciber asphalt mixing plant. That’s why we also wanted to invest in a material processing plant that is easy to transport and offers us greater flexibility.” Today, the MOBICAT MC 110 EVO2 jaw crusher, the MOBICONE MCO 90 EVO2 mobile cone crusher and a MOBISCREEN MSC 953 EVO mobile screening plant complement the machine fleet. While the jaw crusher is used for primary crushing, the cone crusher in the second crushing stage ensures good shaping and the screening plant takes care of the necessary classifications.

This flexible team excels through performance

“Working with Ciber over the past few years has clearly shown that it pays off when the machines can be moved around the quarry, the plant, and the job sites, and then positioned exactly where they are needed. This simplifies our logistics considerably, saving us countless truck journeys and huge costs,” says Douglas Matt. With the purchase of the Kleemann plant train, Matt/MPX now plans to further develop its vision of mobile job site logistics. The new Kleemann machines will complement and support the stationary plants in the quarry. There are also plans to use the mobile machines at asphalt plants and job sites in other regions. In combination with the mobile Ciber asphalt mixing plant, the company benefits from a high-performance team of mobile solutions. This saves time and costs while increasing responsiveness on new projects.

Skepticism gives way to enthusiasm

Basalt, a fragmented, easily splintering material, is mined at the company’s quarry in Passo Fundo. Mainly gravel in various grain sizes and macadam are produced there. Jean Cleber Dall’Alba is the head of operations. He recalls: “I must admit, I was skeptical when the new plant train was delivered. It’s an entirely different technology to what we’re used to with our stationary plants.” But his initial skepticism quickly turned to enthusiasm: “The production output of the new machines is very impressive. We produce over 2,000 tons of material per day in eight-hour operation – and the plant is only running at 70 percent of its potential capacity.”

The quarry operators were also quickly impressed with the mobile plant train’s cost-effectiveness. The MOBICAT MC 110 EVO2 consumes just 12 liters an hour, the MOBICONE MCO 90 EVO2 a maximum of 25 liters and the MOBISCREEN MSC 953 EVO only needs 9 liters per hour. “These are very affordable fuel costs, which makes production extremely efficient,” says the quarry manager.

The Ciber asphalt mixing plant – proven over many years

Matt/MPX has extensive experience with mobile solutions: They have been working with the mobile Ciber asphalt mixing plant for many years. Managing Director Douglas Matt is very satisfied not only with its flexibility, but also with its production output. “With the Ciber iNOVA 1500, we produce 75 to 150 tons of asphalt per hour. The plant can be transported on just two transport vehicles, making it significantly more compact and easier to move than conventional plants. This is ideal for use on changing job sites.” Thanks to innovative technologies for drying the mineral, the plant is especially fuel efficient – another positive feature.

The advanced control and diagnostic system with telemaintenance is also compelling and ensures maximum availability and control. “We have always been impressed by the flexibility, efficiency and ease of operation of the Ciber plant. It is a real step forward for us that we now also have all these advantages in material processing with the new plant train from Kleemann.”

Ideally geared up for the future with the Wirtgen Group

With the Ciber asphalt mixing plant and the new Kleemann plant train, the Brazilians have found solutions that perfectly match the company’s vision of enhanced mobility in the future. The fact that the plant train now also excels with its cost-effectiveness and excellent final products is even more positive for the company owners. “Ciber, Kleemann – what a team! When it comes to new purchases in the future, we will definitely continue to operate within the Wirtgen Group universe,” Douglas Matt says confidently.
