Investing in New Products, Technologies and Markets With the heaviest components in the commercial class market the Carlson CP 100 brings owners longer lifecycle in the material handling system. Easy access for adjustments and remote greasing stations make maintenance quick and simple. With a one piece construction that includes the track frames, the platform of the CP 100 will outlast and outperform any paver in its weight class. Carlson CP100 Commercial Class Asphalt Paver The Roadtec SX-8e/ex soil stabilizer-reclaimer features a clean-running 755 hp (563 kW) CAT® C18 engine. It is the largest, most powerful model in the company's line of stabilizers-reclaimers. The SX-8e/ex complies with Tier 4 interim and Stage IIIb emission standards. Weighing in at approximately 75,000 lbs. (34,090 kg), the SX-8e/ex is balanced and powerful. Four cutting speeds and right-hand flush cut allow you to use the SX-8e/ex for a range of projects including stabilizing, pulverizing, or cold recycling. T 75 co in 7 s o Roadtec SX-8e/ex Soil Stabilizer Astec's ground-breaking, state-of-the-art wood pellet plant features a number of industry-firsts and is poised to change the wood pellet production industry. The modular design with replicated parallel lines results in there being very few points in the process where any equipment failure can shut the entire plant down. In most other plants, a dryer outage would mean a total plant shutdown. In a 60 TPH Astec plant, a dryer outage means the plant continues to operate at 40 TPH. In fact, there are very few reasons why the plant would ever be completely shut down. Even major maintenance cycles may be performed line-by-line while the plant continues to operate on the other lines. Redundant design reduces down time. A n in b th to co p m o Astec Wood Pelletizing Plant Breaker Technology's Mine Runner is a modern day solution for a future focused mining operation aimed at safety, lower emissions, and increased productivity. Not to be confused with a customized road vehicle or generic people carrier, the Mine Runner has Hydraulic Wheel Drive (HWD) motors, providing greater power, and extended maintenance and duty cycles. With HWD for power and braking, there are no brakes to wear and fail, increasing passenger safety. Designed with one of the cleanest engine configurations, Tier 4 Interim, the mine runner meets and exceeds air quality standards.
