Power Where It Matters: 200kVA Generator Delivered to Power Crushing Operations in QLD Quarry

In heavy-duty industries like quarrying, reliability isn’t a luxury, it’s essential. Power loss doesn’t just pause productivity; it shuts down entire operations, putting pressure on timelines and margins. That’s why getting the right generator for the job is critical.

Genelite recently supplied and commissioned a Cummins-powered 200kVA diesel generator for a quarry site in regional Queensland, specifically selected to run high-demand crushing equipment.

Powering a Queensland Quarry

At this particular site, the generator was installed as a prime power source—supplying continuous, heavy-load electricity to power a rock crusher and related site machinery.

Crusher applications are power-hungry by nature. They require high starting currents, consistent voltage, and the durability to handle dusty, rugged environments day in and day out. That’s where the Cummins-powered 200kVA solution shines:

✅ Prime-rated output built for continuous use
✅ Heavy-duty alternator capable of handling high motor loads
✅ Rugged build suited to harsh Australian conditions
✅ Fuel-efficient operation to reduce running costs over time

Sizing Matters: Why the Right Generator Saves You More

One of the biggest mistakes we see in industrial applications is choosing the wrong size generator. Undersized units struggle under load, risking shutdowns and long-term damage. Oversized units, on the other hand, lead to inefficient fuel use, poor performance, and unnecessary maintenance costs—particularly glazing and wet-stacking in diesel engines.

At Genelite, we worked closely with the site operators to properly assess the electrical load profile of their equipment. The result was a tailored solution that:

• Matches the startup and running demand of the crushing system
• Minimises fuel consumption
• Ensures optimal generator lifespan
• Reduces unplanned downtime

Built for Quarry Life

Quarry environments are tough on equipment—constant vibration, airborne dust, temperature extremes, and remote locations. The generator supplied was fitted with:

✅ Advanced filtration systems to keep air and fuel clean
✅ Automatic shutdown protection for overheating or overload
✅ Easy-access panels for on-site servicing
✅ Weather-protected enclosure for all-day, all-weather performance
