The sincerest form of flattery…?

Chinese company offers crusher copies.

As a journalist, my job generally entails hour after hour on the phone, chasing leads, checking out the gossip and generally going out to find stuff to report upon.

Occasionally, however, the god of the scribes smiles benevolently and drops a story into my lap with no additional effort required.

So when I opened my email inbox this morning to find that I was being offered Metso crushers from a Chinese source, I rubbed my hands together, made a few phone calls and simply lit the blue touch paper.

The following is a transcription of the ad, and you will note that it says the company in question has obtained the technology but skirts around the small matter of whether it actually obtained the permission:

Shenyang Sanland has also obtained manufacturing technology to produce Jaw Crusher from Terex, Gyratory Crusher from American Fuller company, Ball Mills from Allis Chalmers, and HP Cone Crusher from Metso. Our Grizzly Feeders and Vibrating Screens product ranges are also manufactured with American AC company’s standard quality. Moreover, our belt conveyor product range is also manufactured with German Precismaca technology. In addition to these equipments, Sanland also produces Ball Mill, Bar Mill, Cement Grinding and other grinding equipments to suit the requirements of customers.
