MSC represented at 54th Quarry NZ conferenceSponsored
Each year the Institute of Quarrying NZ (IOQ), and the Aggregate and Quarry Association of NZ (AQA) hold an annual joint conference. This year the conference was held in New Plymouth between 13 and 15 July.
A once per year event where the AQA and the IOQ do a tremendous job in facilitating interaction, socialising and the sharing of experiences for all those involved in the quarrying industry. This year they exceeded expectations, bringing together a record number of industry professionals to raise standards and share knowledge which are the principles that guide the Institute of Quarrying today.
Held in New Plymouth for 2022, at the TSB Stadium, with the local CBD a 5-minute drive away and the airport a mere 16 minutes away, this event promised to be another significant success.
The conference is an opportunity for all those involved in the quarrying industry to interact and exchange ideas, take the opportunity to hear the experiences of guest speakers and to socialise with old friends and colleagues and to make new contacts.
Catrina Quinn, MSC marketing manager, comments on the 3-day conference:
“While it was a full 3-day programme of events, the highlights took us through to the Welcome Dinner on the Wednesday night held at the Devon hotel, with a well-received and extremely funny MC Steve Davis, who has been the MC for the Quarry NZ Conference for the last 20 years. The Thursday event took us to late Russell Vickers tour around his impressive rock garden on York Road, Midhurst NZ. Polished stainless spheres complimented his impressive collection of native and exotic stone.
"Served in the exhibition area, delegates were treated to a range of exceptional hot breakfasts and lunches throughout the event, ensuring no one was going hungry, all of which were sponsored by conference supporter companies from all over NZ!”

At this year’s conference, Mobile Screening & Crushing NZ showcased the Cobra 230R out front of stadium, gaining a lot of attention from all those visiting the three-day annual event.
Dan Meikle MSC’s general manager, comments:
“We are proud to have had the ever-popular Terex EvoQuip Cobra 230R on display (offered for both hire and sale), it is a great machine. The compact footprint makes for easy transportation and an ideal machine for working in urban areas. The control system is simple to operate and set up time is minimal, enabling crushing quickly. The ground level access to the engine, hydraulics, service and refuelling points make maintenance easy for the operator. No matter what line of work you are in, whether it is construction & demolition, asphalt recycling, quarrying or contract crushing, the Cobra 230R will enhance your profitability.”
Key features:
- Cobra 230R uses a fuel efficient and high performing direct drive system to power the impact crusher
- Two independent hydraulic controlled aprons allow the operator to optimise the material throughput and reduction whilst ensuring the best fuel efficiency
- Excellent under crusher clearance and the short distance from the crusher discharge to the magnet make the Cobra 230R the ideal machine in all applications
- Cobra 230R incorporates a 2.44m x 1.2m (8’ x 4’) post screen that ensures the required product specification is achieved with oversize material either being recirculated back to the crusher or stockpiled.
- The complete afterscreen system can be quickly detached including the oversize conveyor which provides the option of either running the machine in standard mode
