Precisionscreen outlines the benefits of its PLC Scorpion pugmill, which combines automation and controllability to deliver speed and reliability
In today’s construction and infrastructure sectors, adaptability and precision are more than just desirable, they are non-negotiable.
From road base preparation to quarry operations, contractors need equipment that performs efficiently, consistently, and sustainably.
Precisionscreen’s PLC Scorpion pugmill has emerged as a tool that checks all these boxes, offering a solution designed not just to meet industry standards but to set new ones, the business says.
With its high capacity, advanced automation, and controllability, the Scorpion pugmill delivers speed and reliability across various applications.
However, Precisionscreen says it’s the attention to detail – like the inclusion of clam shell doors for easy cleaning – that truly makes it a standout.
Smart automation
Blending materials such as cement, sand, crusher dust, or fly ash requires a delicate balance of precision and efficiency.
The Scorpion pugmill achieves this through its PLC-controlled system, which automates the blending process.
Gone are the days of manual calculations and inconsistent mixes, Precisionscreen says. The programmable interface allows operators to control ratios down to the smallest detail, ensuring every batch meets strict quality standards.
Performance data is also tracked in real-time, enabling operators to fine-tune production and eliminate errors.
This kind of automation minimises downtime and reduces rework – both of which are critical factors when tight project deadlines are involved.
Whether preparing road base or stabilising materials for infrastructure, Precisionscreen says the Scorpion ensures consistent results every time.
Cleaning made simple
In many industrial settings, equipment downtime for cleaning and maintenance can eat into productivity.
Recognising this challenge, Precisionscreen designed the Scorpion pugmill with clam shell doors – a seemingly small innovation that delivers massive benefits.
The clam shell design allows operators to quickly and easily access the internal mixing chamber/ pughead.
Precisionscreen says this feature makes it simple to remove any residual material build-up, preventing cross-contamination between batches and ensuring the machine runs at peak efficiency.

With faster cleaning cycles, operators can switch between different materials more frequently without worrying about quality issues, making the machine highly adaptable to changing project requirements.
Whether you’re blending cement one day and crusher dust the next, Precisionscreen says cleanup is no longer a chore that slows you down.
Practical investment
In an industry where efficiency and profitability are closely linked, Precisionscreen says the Scorpion Pugmill delivers measurable value.
Its production capacity of up to 250 tons (226.8-tonnes) per hour reduces the need for multiple machines, while the PLC automation saves on labour costs. The easy-cleaning clam shell doors cut down on downtime, further enhancing productivity.
“When margins are tight, every hour saved on maintenance, every dollar spared on redundant equipment, and every ton produced efficiently can have a major impact on the bottom line,” Precisionscreen says.
Future of material handling
Precisionscreen adds that the PLC Scorpion pugmill represents the future of construction and quarry equipment, as its smart, efficient, and environmentally conscious.
Its PLC-controlled automation ensures precise material blending, while its portability and easy-cleaning clam shell doors make it an ideal solution for operators.
For companies working on road infrastructure, quarrying or cement stabilisation projects, Precisionscreen says the Scorpion pugmill isn’t just a convenience – it’s an essential tool for staying competitive in an evolving industry.
By blending innovation with practicality, the Scorpion pugmill can help ensure that every project is completed on time, on budget, and with minimal waste.
The construction landscape is changing fast, and with the Scorpion pugmill, contractors and operators are ready to meet the future head-on, Precisionscreen says.
