In the middle of Pacoima, California, Superior Concrete Crushing is taking concrete recycling to a new level. Their team, led in the field by Steve Legaspi, Foreman and Operator, has built a streamlined operation that transforms incoming concrete debris into valuable construction materials with the use of two powerful pieces of machinery from Powerscreen of California, Nevada, & Hawaii. The Powerscreen Trakpactor 320SR recirculating impact crusher and the Powerscreen Titan 600 scalping screen.

A Streamlined Operation for Concrete Recycling

Every day, swathes of trucks arrive at the Superior Concrete Crushing yard loaded with broken concrete and debris. These materials are dumped near the Powerscreen Trakpactor 320SR, where they are immediately processed. The impact crusher breaks down the concrete into road base material, a product that is in constant demand throughout Southern California’s busy construction scene.

Smaller debris, or what Steve and his team refer to as “mixed loads,” is directed to the Powerscreen Titan 600. This versatile screener processes the material to produce two vital product lines, fines and clean gravel. These finished materials are then sold directly from the site, creating a closed-loop profitable operation that keeps both waste and downtime to a minimum and stays true to Superior’s motto of “you dump it, we crush it!”.

When asked what drew him to the Trakpactor 320SR, Steve had a quick answer, “The recirculating conveyor is by far my favorite feature. Whenever there is any oversized product that makes it through, it gets kicked right back into the crusher to be refined. That consistency is critical for us and also reduces the amount of times we have to handle the material.”

And it’s not just about consistency, the Trakpactor 320SR is packed with features that streamline operation. A quick-detach post-screen section allows the unit to be converted into a standard Trakpactor 320, giving Superior flexibility on the fly. The recirculating conveyor also lifts during transport, providing extra ground clearance when moving on-site or loading for transport, which was an important consideration for tight urban yards like Superior’s main site in Pacoima.

With a throughput potential of up to 352 US tons per hour, the Trakpactor 320SR impactor is designed with modern enhancements that offer excellent reduction and outstanding product shape. These are all capabilities that align directly with Superior Concrete Crushing’s operational goals.

Equally impressive is the Powerscreen Titan 600, a compact yet powerful 2-deck screen capable of producing up to 308 US tons per hour, depending on the application. “What I love about the Titan 600 is how easy it is to move and how fast we can switch from a 2-way to a 3-way split,” Steve explained. “It gives us so much flexibility based on the material we’re running and what our customers need.”

This versatility is a major asset in a fast-paced environment where material types and job requirements can change day to day. Whether it’s fines for fill or clean gravel for landscaping and roadwork, the Titan 600 allows the team to dial in exactly what they need with minimal downtime.

Service That Sets Powerscreen Apart

Behind the machines is a level of service and support that Steve says has exceeded expectations. “Powerscreen of California have been very helpful, their crew is awesome. I have nothing bad to say about their company. It’s nothing but 100% from them every time,” he shared. “Their team has the quickest response time when it comes to any parts or service calls. These guys are on it.”

This level of responsive support is vital for an operation that relies on uptime and consistency. Knowing that expert help is only a phone call away gives Superior Concrete Crushing peace of mind and confidence as they continue to grow.

Built for the Future

With the Trakpactor 320SR and Titan 600 in their lineup, Superior Concrete Crushing has positioned themselves for long-term success. Their investment in top-tier equipment and reliable service from Powerscreen of California, Nevada, & Hawaii is already paying dividends, both in daily efficiency and in the quality of the products they’re delivering to their customers.
