KPI-JCI and Astec Mobile Screens’ ConExpo-Con/Agg plans
KPI-JCI and Astec Mobile Screens will exhibit six pieces of equipment at ConExpo-Con/Agg 2014 in the Astec Industries booth at Central Hall 50327, including the new-generation SuperStacker, the Kodiak Plus K500+ cone crusher, the Series 9000 dewatering Screen, a high-frequency screen for the industrial sands market, the FT2650 jaw crusher with a pre-screen option and the 3055 Vanguard jaw crusher. Its parent corporation, Astec Industries, will exhibit a total of 42 pieces of equipment in its booth – 89 percent of which will be new to the industry, the company says. The new, 170-ft.-long SuperStacker has replaced the e-chain with the festoon system, providing less maintenance, smoother operation and better reliability. It also features an enhanced Wizard Touch automation control system, allowing for more stockpiling options. The new-generation Vanguard jaw crusher reduces maintenance and increases performance, with an optional tramp iron relief system enabling adjustments of the closed-side setting on the fly while providing overload protection from tramp iron events. The Kodiak Plus K500+ fills a demand for larger secondary and tertiary cone crushers that are used by high-production aggregate producers and mining companies, the company says. The Series 9000 dewatering screen is the latest addition to the Series 9000 family of products, which also includes classifying cyclones, dewatering cyclones, density classifiers, attrition cells and sieve bend screens. The high frequency screen for the industrial sands market is a redesigned version of the Vari-Vibe.
