Kleemann’s Spective Connect option, which moves a crusher’s user interface into the mobile equipment housing operators, is now available with a configuration tool. According to Kleemann, Spective Connect’s smart job configurator helps in the selection of the correct machine settings. To start, operators enter the data of their planned application into the Spective Connect app, which calculates the optimum machine settings automatically. Operators can then transfer the settings to the machine via the Spective touchpanel. Kleemann says the new tool supports operators in the selection of the best possible crushing tools. Additionally, the company says all installed optional belt scales can now be displayed in Spective Connect. An overview of live production output is available through a dashboard. Data is recorded in the reporting, allowing conclusions to be drawn about the output and utilization of the plant. Spective Connect is currently available for the Mobicat MC 120(i) PRO mobile jaw crusher and the Mobicone MCO 110(i) PRO cone crusher. … Also, Kleemann’s Mobicone MCO 90(i) EVO2 mobile cone crusher and Mobirex MR 110(i) EVO2 mobile impact crusher can now be fitted with a double-deck post screening unit as an option. With the optional double-deck post screening unit, Kleemann says it is now possible to produce two classified final product sizes without utilizing an additional screening plant. According to the company, the screening surface makes screening sizes less than 7/8 in. especially effective. The discharge height of the fines conveyor is designed for a maximum stockpile volume, Kleemann says, while oversize material can be processed in a closed circuit via a return conveyor.
Mobile screening plant allows for rapid media changes
Astec Industries’ Materials Solutions Group launched the GT2612V as a mobile high-frequency screening plant. The plant features a 2612V Vari-Vibe high-frequency screen. According to Astec, the two-deck, 6-ft. x 12-ft. screen uses a rotary tensioning system that allows for quick screen media changes. The 2612V also has deck-mounted, variable-speed hydraulic vibrators, a hydraulic mechanism for varying operating angles, a hopper for fines collection, top- and bottom-deck discharge chutes and an aggregate spreader. The high-frequency screen can quickly and efficiently size crushed stone, recycled asphalt pavement, sand, gravel, coal and a variety of other materials, Astec says. The GT2612V is manufactured on a welded steel main frame with a channel cross section. A walkway around the screen and remote grease lubrication for ground-level access make maintenance simple, the company adds.
Tramp-release system elevates safety, reliability
L&H Industrial debuted a tramp-release system designed to ensure safety, dependability and ease of installation. According to L&H, tramp in a crusher can lead to expensive equipment damage, hydraulic and lubrication leaks, and bushing and bearing damage. Tramp can also cause significant periods of downtime. L&H says its system removes stored energy by replacing conventional mechanical springs. It also releases pressure on the cylinders and allows the adjustment to pick up, repressurizing cylinders to return to the optimal crushing position. The system delivers simplistic design, PLC logic and a large clearing stroke. L&H says the system requires minimal maintenance and can be installed in less than 24 hours. The tramp-release system can be retrofitted onto legacy crushing equipment for an upgrade in safety and production, the company adds. L&H says the system can increase production levels by allowing the crusher to run at maximum feeds without fear of a tramp event.
Idler design enhances sealing protection
Luff Industries’ idlers are built with an endcap design offering strength, durability and sealing performance. The endcap encases a triple-labyrinth seal and a sealed ball bearing to ensure contaminants like dust and moisture don’t cause premature roller failure. According to Luff, it is the first OEM in North America to achieve SKF Equipped status. Through the program, SKF bearings are integrated into Luff idlers to ensure high quality.
Keep belts clean with uniquely designed component
The U-Scrape secondary belt cleaner’s unique “U”-shaped design conforms to the return side of the belt while the blade maintains maximum pressure in the center where the majority of the carryback material builds up. The U-Scrape’s “U”-shaped urethane and tungsten carbide blade tips are in constant blade-to-belt contact for the highest cleaning efficiency, ASGCO says – especially in tough applications requiring the removal of water and sticky carryback materials.
Drum motor safety enhanced by design
The motor, gear reducer and bearings of GrizzlyDrive drum motors are enclosed and protected inside the drum and designed for 80,000 hours of continuous operation before maintenance. According to VDG (Van der Graaf), the design increases safety while decreasing maintenance and operating costs. With VDG IronGrip lagging, the company says the GrizzlyDrive delivers 40 percent more traction and improved tracking while increasing lagging and belt life. The all-enclosed design and construction of the GrizzlyDrive reduces the cost of ownership, VDG adds, and provides conveyors with reliability, longevity and performance in harsh environments.
