Powerscreen, a manufacturer of mobile crushing and screening equipment, is reviving its Phoenix range – one of the company’s original machine ranges.
The Phoenix range is a collection of trommel machines that are predominantly used in recycling applications, the company explains. Through the processes of screening and separation, material is extracted to create recycled useable products, resulting in increased profits for the customer while being better for the environment.
The Phoenix range includes the Powerscreen Phoenix 1600 – which comes in both tracked and wheeled versions – the mid-size Powerscreen Phoenix 2100 and the larger flagship Powerscreen Phoenix 3300.
The Powerscreen Phoenix 1600 tracked and wheeled trommel screens are designed to provide fuel efficiency and low operating costs, while also reducing emissions and noise levels due to the machine running at a low engine revolutions per minute. With a 16-ft. x 5-ft. drum, high production throughput is guaranteed due to the large screening area which is the largest in its class, the company explains.
The Powerscreen Phoenix 2100 trommel screen is designed to offer good production throughput and application flexibility. The design offers optional features such as a heavy duty tipping grid or double deck vibrating grid to make the Phoenix 2100 more versatile. The machine performs equally well in heavy C&D applications, the company says, as it does in high volume compost production. The 180-degree swivel fines conveyor, with a 18-ft. x 6-in. discharge, means the machine can generate large stockpiles. This swivel feature can be controlled via a radio remote while the machine is in operation.
The Powerscreen Phoenix 3300 trommel screen is also designed to offer solid production throughput and application flexibility. Key features include having the largest screen area within the Phoenix range – a 180-degree swivel fines conveyor – with a 19-in. discharge and a four-wheel drive system with friction grip wheels used to turn the trommel drum, giving operators the ability to run bi-directionally. Options include a tipping grid or double deck vibrating grid. According to the company, the Phoenix 3300 is highly efficient in the separation and processing of aggregate, wood chippings, top soil, compost and green waste.
“The global waste management market is becoming more and more prevalent as government initiatives are geared toward better environmental practices, so it is an ideal time to bring back the Phoenix range with its proven track record in recycling applications,” says Neil Robinson, Powerscreen product manager. “We are excited about bringing the Phoenix range back from the ashes and having these lucrative machines part of our portfolio once again.”
Powerscreen Pulse Intelligence is available on the Phoenix range of machines, the company says, and is now available to purchase from Powerscreen distributors worldwide.
Powerscreen is a part of Terex Corp. It designs and manufactures mobile crushing equipment and mobile screening equipment for the mining, quarrying, demolition and recycling industries.
