Rudus increased crushing capacity with a Jonsson L130 primary crusher

When Rudus’s previous primary crusher began to fall short of its growing capacity requirements, it was time for an upgrade. The solution was the Jonsson L130 primary crusher supplied by TIEKA, tailored to meet Rudus’s demanding operational needs.

Why did Rudus choose Jonsson, and how has its long-term partnership with TIEKA worked in practice? Read the full customer story and watch the interview with Rudus in the video.

Rudus Oy is one of Finland’s leading companies in the aggregates industry and is also known for its extensive crushing operations. When Rudus’ previous primary crushing unit began to fall short in terms of capacity, it was time to upgrade the equipment. The solution was a Jonsson L130 jaw crusher supplied by TIEKA, enabling Rudus to meet its increased crushing capacity requirements.

A key factor in the decision was Rudus’ previous positive experience with Jonsson. TIEKA had already supplied Rudus with a Jonsson L550 secondary crusher, which the customer had been satisfied with. When Rudus wanted to increase the capacity of its primary crusher, continuing with a familiar and proven brand was a natural choice.

“We already had good experience with Jonsson, so it was a natural choice for the primary crusher as well. With the L130, we gained additional capacity and are now better able to meet our current needs,” says Kimmo Leppikangas, who is responsible for crushing operations at Rudus.

Capacity tailored to Rudus’ needs

For Rudus, the strength of the Jonsson L130 lies not only in its capacity, but also in the possibility of customizing the machine to meet the specific requirements of its application. Through TIEKA, Jonsson machines can be adapted based on the customer’s individual needs.

Safety-related requirements are particularly important to Rudus and need to be carefully considered as part of the overall machine configuration.

“For example, we have certain safety requirements that need to be taken into account very carefully when configuring the machines. With TIEKA, we can go through these requirements and implement the necessary solutions according to our needs.”

With the L130, Rudus’ primary crushing equipment is now better suited to its increased capacity requirements. At the same time, the machine’s configurability ensures that the overall solution is specifically suited to Rudus’ operations and working environment.

A partnership built on trust

The cooperation between Rudus and TIEKA has continued through several equipment transactions. In addition to new machines, the companies have also traded used equipment: Rudus has purchased used machines from TIEKA, while TIEKA has also purchased used machines from Rudus in connection with new equipment deals.

In a long-term partnership, it is important that things are handled as agreed and without unnecessary complications.

“TIEKA is a reliable partner for us. What we agree on is what gets done. The cooperation is easy and works well,” Leppikangas sums up.

For Rudus, the Jonsson L130 is above all an investment in crushing capacity. For TIEKA, the delivery is a significant reference that demonstrates both Jonsson’s performance and TIEKA’s ability to develop solutions for the demanding requirements of the crushing industry.
