Our Roots

HUMBLE, HUNGRY AND READY TO BUILD

Optimum Crush was started in 2013 by Jerrod Dulmes. Jerrod had worked for Excel™ Crusher Technologies (later purchased by FLSmidth) as a product Design Engineer and later as Chief Engineer. He was involved with the design of the Raptor® 200, 300, 400, 600, 900, 1100, 1300, and 2000 cone crushers. This included leading the design and commissioning of the Raptor® 900 and 2000.

After FLSmidth closed the design office in Wisconsin, USA Jerrod began doing independent consulting. While consulting, several mines asked him to train their employees and troubleshoot issues with their Cone Crushers. He worked hand-in-hand with the customers at their mine sites to troubleshoot the issues and then create designs for improved parts that solved them. Word spread to other mines that had similar Cone Crushers and soon Optimum Crush was providing several solutions and products for various mines and crusher sizes.
