Exhibited next to the portable impactor plant, Eagle Crusher’s new 8-ft. x 20-ft. screening plant has a 60-in.-wide feed conveyor that connects to an 8-ft. x 20-ft. triple-deck, triple-shaft screen made by Deister Machine Co.
“It features two middle- and lower-deck cross conveyors that can be put either direction,” Friedman says. “[It’s the] customer’s choice. It can be changed in the field.”
The screening plant offers users the opportunity to produce a variety of products, he adds.
“Your top deck [for] overs, your mid deck and your bottom deck all have four flop gates, allowing a producer to make whatever product mix they’re looking to create – and not having to mix from a stockpile,” Friedman says. “Or, if they don’t want that, they can just close all the gates, and it acts like any other screening plant.”
The blending gates system fully rolls away from the screen, he adds.
“This allows for easier maintenance of the screen, as well as for replacing the screen block so you’re not digging around having to wedge things in,” Friedman says. “It opens up a lot of space to get in there and maneuver. It’s easier maintenance.”
Additional insights
In addition to the two new plants, Eagle Crusher showcased a 2036 jaw crusher in its ConExpo-Con/Agg booth.
The jaw crusher is the same one Eagle Crusher has manufactured for decades, Friedman says, but the company has advanced its jaw with technology.
“One of the technological advancements we’ve been developing that we did showcase in the 3260 jaw – but is become available for our full range of jaws – is our hydraulic toggle system,” he says.
The system offers users advantages when uncrushables are encountered, Friedman says.
“Once you’ve cleared the uncrushable in the jaw, whether it fell out or you pulled it out, you can get the jaw back up and running in minutes versus days,” he says.
