New idler reduces slippage, increases grip in wet conditions
ASGCO debuted a brand-new conveyor belt tracking idler with its Grip-Trac rubber Tru-Trainer solution. The new idlers combine ASGCO’s Tru-Trainer technology with a new, improved design and molded rubber manufacturing process. According to ASGCO, the new rubber design includes a unique arrowhead design on the ends of the rolls with cross-linked sipes. They are specially engineered on the outer ends of the rolls and on the inner ribs to reduce slippage and increase grip in wet conditions. ASGCO says this manufacturing and design innovation improves the overall adhesion of the Grip-Trac rubber to the Tru-Trainers, delivering enhanced grip, durability and wear resistance.
Telescopic conveyor designed for multiple stockpiling applications
ProStack launched the TW 36-150, a 150-ft. radial telescopic conveyor.

Tracked conveyor suitable for high-capacity operations
Telestack introduced the TCL 2031 track-mounted conveyor, the latest addition to its tracked conveyor line. The TCL 2031 is suitable for applications ranging from 1,650 tph to 2,750 tph, and it can handle maximum lump feed sizes of up to 15.75 in. According to the company, the conveyor is designed to fill a gap for large quarries, mining and aggregate operations using high-capacity crushers. Hydraulic-folding head and tail sections collapse the machine for road transport to a folded length of 58 ft. and a transport height of 14 ft., 5 in. Alternatively, it can be broken down into shipping containers for long-haul moves. According to Telestack, on-site setup takes less than 30 minutes.
