Eagle Crusher Co. introduced the MaxRap 25 portable plant and the UltraMax 1200-OCSS (open-circuit secondary system). Both plants feature Eagle’s UltraMax 25 impactor. The MaxRap 25 portable provides the same precision crushing of the stationary MaxRap, according to Eagle Crusher, enabling operators to crush RAP at multiple locations with ease. The MaxRap 25 portable produces highly uniform, cubicle spec product with a minimum of white rock and fines, Eagle Crusher says. Actuated diverter chutework allows multi-feature deck selection, blending and bypass. Remove the actuated diverter chutework, and the plant becomes a 1200-OCSS. The 1200-OCSS includes a 6-ft. x 20-ft. triple-deck horizontal screen for screening before crushing, along with screening options for multiple spec products. It includes discharge conveyors for second and third decks, as well as for fines.

Screencore’s tracked XL Dual-Power jaw crusher has been developed to provide users with mobility, productivity, efficiency and crushing performance, according to the company. In line with Screencore’s design philosophy, its Dual-Power crushers come packed with a range of user-friendly features designed to deliver high throughputs, low-cost-per-ton production and accurate reduction, the company says. In order to reduce CO2 emissions and fuel consumption even further, Screencore optimized machine efficiency to deliver higher output with less wear and improved fuel efficiency. Screencore’s Dual-Power crushers are fitted with a flexible electric-drive system, meaning they can be connected directly to the mains or be powered by a drop-off diesel/genset unit – the latter being in the event of no access to the electricity grid.

The new Metso Remote IC is used for remote control and monitoring of the crushing and screening process, connecting all Lokotrack crushers and screens wirelessly on a site. With the app, Metso says operators can view all Lokotrack train machines and their main process parameters using a single dashboard. The feeder and crusher settings can be adjusted safely from the excavator cabin, the company says, and the overall visibility of the process allows operators to adjust the feed for an optimal production level. In problem situations, Metso says Remote IC automatically stops the feeder to prevent overloading. Remote IC also instantly alerts and provides a reason for a stoppage, making it quicker and easier to get back to running.
