EvoQuip launched the Bison 170 as the latest addition to its jaw crusher range. With its 27.5-in. x 19.6-in. jaw chamber and diesel-electric drive technology, the Bison 170 helps customers optimize their operations while meeting both economic and environmental goals, according to EvoQuip. Suitable for both natural rock and recycling applications, the Bison 170 has a range of environmentally friendly features that also offer customers value, high performance, ease of use and maneuverability, the company adds. The Bison 170 utilizes a fuel-efficient diesel-electric drive system, with an onboard generator to power the plant. It can also be plugged in and driven from an external power source such as mains power, which allows for zero emissions processing. The engine and power unit can be removed completely, allowing the plant to be powered from an external source with no combustion engine on board.
New portable cone, impact plants suitable for midsize operations
Terex MPS launched the WG220E portable cone crushing plant and the WV1400E portable vertical shaft impact (VSI) crushing plant. The company says the plants excel in crushing oversize materials from wash plants or in secondary and tertiary open-circuit crushing. Both models are electrically driven – either from mains power or a generator – and both feature a feed hopper volume of 5 sq. meters, with a conveyor to feed the crusher and a foldable discharge conveyor for material stockpiling or feeding additional processing equipment. Terex MPS says the WG220E portable cone crushing plant is ideal for secondary or tertiary processing in hard rock quarries, producing aggregates for construction. The WV1400E portable VSI crushing plant, meanwhile, is suitable for producing high-quality shaped aggregates for concrete and asphalt, as well as manufactured sand and agricultural lime.
Belt cleaner designed to reduce carryback, decrease maintenance time
Martin Engineering debuted a new conveyor belt cleaner as a solution for producers to reduce dusty carryback and lessen maintenance time. According to Martin Engineering, the new SQC2S Orion secondary cleaner features individually cushioned tungsten carbide blade cartridges for effective cleaning without risk to the belt or splices. A two-tiered tensioning system means minimal adjustments and monitoring throughout the life of the blade, the company adds. Blades are mounted on a slide-in, slide-out assembly for faster and safer one-worker external servicing. As Martin Engineering describes, secondary cleaners play an essential role in the belt cleaning process by significantly reducing the volume of dust and fines dropped as carryback on the belt return. Primary cleaners, meanwhile, release most of the abrasive material remaining on the belt after discharge.
