ConExpo-Con/Agg’s Top New Products
Higher specification metal detector
Eriez rolled out its Metalarm MA3600, a metal
detector that uses pulse induction technology to offer balanced coil
detection sensitivity and performance. Engineered for installation in
quarries and mines, it incorporates several key features. Higher
detection sensitivity ensures that even the smallest problematic tramp
metal can be detected; providing better protection for crushers,
screens, and conveyor belts.
Triple-deck screen plant
Extec featured the S-7, the largest model in its
S-Series. The machine features the same double-screen design as the
smaller units in the series, but boasts a triple-deck configuration as
well as an additional side conveyor. Along with a large feed hopper with
optional double-deck vibrating grid and a set of extended conveyors,
these features are said to make the S-7 the most productive mobile
screen in its class. With a transport weight of 85,142 pounds, the unit
is powered by a Deutz BF4M 2012 diesel engine with 74.9 horsepower that
meets or exceeds all known emission regulations.
Power and torque for heavy hauls
Mack Trucks, Inc. introduced its most powerful
truck ever — the Titan by Mack. Designed for heavy transport and heavy
construction applications, it is powered by the new Mack MP10 engine, a
16-liter workhorse with a top rating of 605 horsepower and 2,060
pound-foot of torque. Said to be the boldest-looking Mack model ever, it
delivers the attitude and torque required for hauling the heavy loads,
while incorporating advanced engineering for excellent visibility,
productivity, and operator comfort.
Flat-deck screen solution
Major Wire Industries Ltd. showcased its newest
innovation — Flex-Thane — a flat-deck version of its Flex-Mat screen
media that is said to increase production. It combines the efficiency
and performance of the Flex-Mat technology with the easy replacement of
polyurethane and rubber panels to nearly eliminate blinding and plugging
problems on flat-screen decks. It features independently vibrating
wires, bonded in place with polyurethane strips, which provide more open
area for increased throughput, higher production, and better efficiency
in hard-to-screen applications. Flex-Thane modular panels are available
in 1- by 1-foot and 1- by 4-foot panel sizes.
All-in-one plant
KPI-JCI featured a new “All-in-One” Portable
Self-Erecting package featuring a 26-inch twin blade-mill, 44-inch twin
fine material washer, and a 6- by 20-foot three-deck horizontal
vibrating screen on a single chassis. The self-contained plant has
production rates of up to 500 tons per hour. The compactly designed
plant can be set up in approximately four hours and is said to provide
significant transportation cost savings.
High-torque reducer
Baldor Electric developed the Dodge MagnaGear XTR
reducer for tough, high-torque applications. Available in parallel shaft
or right-angle configurations, it will initially offer torque capacities
up to 920,000 pounds-inch.
Hybrid mobile crusher
Eagle Crusher rolled out a hybrid-powered,
track-mounted impactor plant. The Hybrid Traxx features diesel
electrical power for both the impactor and the plant; the tracks are
driven by an open loop, single-pump hydraulic system. The plant features
the new UltraMaxII 4144 impactor.
