Purpose-built portable impactor duct on o 782, /info. ROLLOUTS Sandvik introduces its QI240 impact crusher. Suitable for recycling applications or small quarries, the portable plant was designed with mobility, productivity, transportability, minimal environmental impact, and user friendliness in mind. The machine is fitted with a pre-screen to ensure maximum scalping capability in order to prevent any undersize material passing through the impactor, thereby maximizing throughput and reducing wear costs. An underpan reduces spillage issues generally associated with impact crushers and eliminates the need for skirt rubbers. It also protects the main product conveyor from high-velocity material from the rotor. The Pri-Sec impactor features two hydraulically adjustable apron curtains that can be positioned to allow the machine to function as a primary or secondary crusher. Sandvik Construction | www.construction.sandvik.com Mobile washing system W.S. Tyler's Hydro-Clean washing system is now available on a chassis for easy movement from place to place within a quarry or even from site to site. The portable unit is said to effectively clean deleterious material from aggregate, recycled, and other minerals, resulting in cleaner products with higher selling values, particularly in clay-heavy material deposits. The washing system uses up to 75 percent less water than traditional washers and 15 percent less energy. Water consumption ranges from 27 to 211 gallons per minute, depending on application and model size, compared to log washers that can require up to 800 gallons per minute. Energy usage ranges from 34 horsepower on the smallest unit to 300 horsepower on the largest. W.S. Tyler | www.wstyler.ca.com Fuel-efficient loading Komatsu America Corp. introduces the WA320-7 wheel loader, which is said to lower fuel consumption by up to 10 percent compared to its predecessor, the WA3206. The unit has 165 net horsepower, is powered by a Komatsu SAA6D107E-2 engine, and is Tier 4i certified. The loader uses the Parallel Z-bar loader linkage, which offers large breakout forces for filling the bucket — with an increase in lift force of up to 10 percent compared to its predecessor. Komatsu's SmartLoader Logic system provides optimal torque for the job, while saving fuel. A third generation hydrostatic drive train features increased pump capacity for higher efficiency and responsiveness. The machine is also equipped with the manufacturer's EMMS (Equipment Management Monitoring System), which provides diagnostic features to improve monitoring and troubleshooting capabilities. Komatsu America Corp. | www.komatsuamerica.com Remote control drill Atlas Copco launched the FlexiROC T30 R radio remote control tophammer drill rig, which can be equipped with either a COP 1240 or COP 1640 drill for 2- to 3.5-inch holes. The standard hydraulic carousel-type rod handling system carries four 12-foot rods, for a maximum drilling depth of 57 feet. The rig comes with a Tier 4i Cummins QSB4.5 turbo charged engine providing improved diesel consumption over its predecessor, the ROC D3 RRC. Its low center of gravity and high ground clearance are said to provide mobility over the most challenging terrain, making it well suited for small- to medium-size quarrying jobs.
