Terex Brands Combine to Deliver Premium Aggregates and Sand in Iceland

A major sea gravel processing operation in Iceland has invested in a fully integrated materials processing solution combining the expertise of two Terex brands, Terex Washing Systems (TWS) and Terex MPS, to transform dredged sea gravel into premium construction aggregates and sand.

Problem

Processing dredged sea gravel presents unique challenges, including variable feed material and the need to consistently produce specification-grade products.

By integrating washing, crushing, shaping, screening, sand recovery and water management, the plant provides a complete solution focused on product quality, resource recovery and operational efficiency.

Solution

A Complete Terex Solution

The process begins with the Terex Washing Systems washing plant, where twin H30 feeders provide a controlled and consistent flow of material into the circuit.

A 20 x 6 wash screen removes clay, silt and unwanted fines while producing 90mm, +50mm, 50mm and +24mm aggregate products. Oversized material is then transferred to the Terex MPS crushing circuit, where a Terex TG220 Bronze Bushing Cone Crusher reduces the material before it is screened and recirculated as required.

The correctly sized material passes through a Canica® MV2000 Modular VSI, producing high-quality shaped aggregates for demanding construction applications.

 

Precision Classification and Screening

Further downstream, a 16 x 5 two-deck sizing screen produces 24mm, +16mm, 16mm and +8mm aggregate products. The final screening stage uses a Terex MPS MHS6203 Modular Horizontal Screen to accurately classify saleable products and prepare them for stockpiling and load-out.

 

High-Quality Sand Recovery

The sand fraction is processed through a Terex Washing Systems FM200 Bucketwheel fitted with hydrocyclone technology. Combining classification and mechanical dewatering, the system produces a clean 0-8mm construction sand suitable for concrete, asphalt and general construction applications.

 

Sustainable Water Management

Processed water is captured and treated through a Terex Washing Systems water-management circuit incorporating an FDU3000 and AC260 system. Flocculation, thickening and clarification allows water to be recovered and reused throughout the plant, while sludge monitoring supports consistent underflow density and controlled discharge.

Results

One Integrated Processing Plant

The project demonstrates the value of collaboration across Terex brands. Terex Washing Systems contributes washing, sand recovery and water-management expertise, while Terex MPS provides crushing, shaping and final screening technology.

Together, the two brands have delivered a complete sea gravel processing plant that transforms a challenging feed into premium aggregates and sand while supporting efficient, reliable production.
