Ran across this company answering a post over on YT. Was very interesting to see the mention of Allis-Chalmers equipment in the plant write-up. Mike

If you click on the link and then click on to the plants in the Eastern US and then click on the Pleasant Gap PA plant. On the picture are 6 new concrete silos that we built for Graymont in 2004. The major expansion was the new kiln. The project manager said that they had Allis-Chalmers equipment in some of their plants and it was very good equipment. Some lines of A-C kilns became part of Metso. Metso was part of this project. Since I had clearance, I checked all their bone yards for A-C bones but didn't find any. Pleasant Gap is only a few miles from Center Hall where the GOTO was a few years ago.

Nothing is impossible if it is properly financed

Another interesting fact for me is that Texada Island is in close proximity to the island that we live on. They have had a huge quarry operation going on there for years. It is not all that big a distance to deliver Tacoma either. They barge crusher screenings from Texada for use on our gravel roads. Unfortunately it has some undesirable characteristics in wet weather which we get a lot of this time of year. It is locally referred to as Texada slime. It gets slimy when wet and sticks to the underside of vehicles and then hardens when it dries out. It is also a little caustic so attacks brake, exhaust and suspension components.

There is an on going battle to have it banned from our roads but it cheap and easy to get delivered compared to more conventional gravel
