Alcoa Willowdale Upgrades With ASC

Alcoa Willowdale, part of Alcoa’s Wagerup mining program, has run ASC machines across its workshops and stores for many years. Looking to replace ageing push sweepers with better dust control and a compact machine that could fit between decades-old racking, manager Dean chose the battery-powered ASC Eureka M1 after an on-site demonstration, valuing its steady performance around fixed shelving and its larger maintenance-free dust filter.

Client Introduction

Alcoa Willowdale has been a client of ASC for many years now and has many ASC machines in various workshops and store locations within their Wager up mining program.

 

The Challenge

The stores at Willowdale had been using standard push sweepers for many years and now needed to replace them after using them for many years effectively.

Dean (Manager) wanted to upgrade these old machines with superior dust control. He was looking for a compact machine that could also fit between the racking and shelves that have been in place for decades.

 

The Solution

WA Area Manager arranged a demonstration of the ASC Eureka M1 on-site at the mine.

Dean liked the idea of a battery-powered sweeper, as it was able to perform when the machine slowed down, especially around fixed shelving. The M1’s larger maintenance-free dust filter allowed it to be used for longer periods.

 

The Result

As Ross was returning to the ASC Perth-based WA warehouse, Dean called to inform that he had convinced his supervisor regarding the advantages of the ASC Eureka M1 sweeper and to place an order for one M1 battery sweeper.

He requested an immediate delivery. Ross returned to the site within a week with the ASC M1 sweeper and conducted training with Dean and his crew. Alcoa loves ASC and the Eureka machines.

Why mining operators choose ASC

Mining workshops and stores need compact, manoeuvrable machines that deliver strong dust control while fitting into established racking layouts. The battery-powered ASC Eureka M1, with its larger maintenance-free dust filter, is well matched to these conditions.

As a long-standing ASC customer with machines across multiple sites, Alcoa Willowdale’s continued investment reflects the reliability and support ASC provides to the resources sector.
