Geddes Group Boosts Productivity with Tesab TS3600 Triple Deck Screener from Stewart Plant Sales
When it comes to quarrying, reliability and performance are everything. For the Geddes Group – a family-run business with roots stretching back to 1936 – investing in the right machinery has always been key to delivering top-quality products to their customers.
Founded in farming and agricultural contracting, the Geddes Group has steadily expanded over the decades into plant hire, demolition, quarrying, concrete and asphalt production, road haulage, and skip hire. Today, their customer base includes construction and civil engineering contractors, local authorities, and both trade and private customers.
Upgrading for the Future
When the time came to renew older equipment, Geddes Group turned to Stewart Plant Sales for advice. After assessing their requirements, the decision was made to invest in the Tesab TS3600 Triple Deck Screener – a machine designed to take screening capacity and performance to the next level.
“We were attracted by the versatility and the range of materials it can produce,” says Graham Geddes, Contracts Director “We’re currently using it to screen hard rock aggregates into 40mm, 20mm, and 10mm sizes, and the throughput has been much improved compared to our previous setup.”
The Power of the TS3600
The TS3600 builds on the proven success of the Tesab TS2600, adding a third deck to increase output and product variety. Its high-performance 20’ x 5’ (6.1m x 1.52m) screenbox, adjustable angles, and hydraulic folding conveyors make it incredibly adaptable – whether working in quarrying, crusher circuits, sand and gravel, coal, topsoil.
Capable of handling up to 650 tonnes per hour, the TS3600 is powered by a CAT 140Hp engine and is built from the highest quality components to ensure dependable performance even in the toughest applications. For Geddes Group, this has translated into increased fuel efficiency, improved reliability, and a noticeable boost in productivity.
A Smooth Sales and Setup Process
Graham describes working with Stewart Plant Sales as “straightforward and knowledgeable”. From the initial enquiry to delivery, the process was handled with expertise both over the phone and on-site.
“The setup was carried out by Material Processing Manager Paul Toulouse who was able to confidently demonstrate the machine and explain it to our team,” Graham explains. “We’ve had follow-up calls and a site visit, and thankfully, there have been no issues requiring repairs.”
Part of a Bigger Investment Plan
The acquisition of the TS3600 is part of a phased strategy to renew Geddes Group’s mobile plant fleet – ensuring their equipment keeps pace with demand and technological advances.
When asked if he would recommend Stewart Plant Sales and the Tesab TS3600 to others in the quarrying or recycling sector, Graham’s response is immediate:
“Without hesitation.”
