AGGREGATES MANAGER May 2014 26 Tier 4 Final motor graders The new Cat M Series motor graders —12M3, 140M3, 160M3, and their all-wheel-drive counterparts — meet Tier 4 Final emission standards. The graders use Cat's after-treatment so- lution, with the addition of Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR). A new standard economy mode can be used to help save fuel by reducing engine speed so the machine works in a more efficient range. The average fuel savings is up to 10 percent, depending on application. Product Link tracks location, hours, fuel usage, productivity, idle time, and diagnostic codes through the online VisionLink interface. In the cab, two electronic joysticks reduce arm movement by up to 78 percent to lessen operator fatigue and increase productivity.

The new design features more steel in the 'rock zone' to improve durabil- ity. The LJ-TSV screens have multiple new patent-pending features to boost production, including a variable slope that handles larger deck loads and bigger screen openings to increase production. The screens install up to 10 degrees in 2.5-degree increments to suit the application. A patent-pend- ing vibration damper system offers low maintenance, while a patent-pending optional bottom deck deflector boosts ef- ficiency. Terex Mineral Processing System | www.terex.com Heavy-duty hydraulic hammer Montabert introduces its V46SHD heavy-range hydraulic breaker, which features an automatic speed variation system, adjusting its impact energy and striking rate to match material hardness in demolition, excavation, and quarrying applications. Designed for use on excavators weighing be- tween 59,500 and 88,200 pounds, the 5,616-pound hydraulic breaker deliv- ers between 510 and 1,160 blows per minute. For optimal breaking power, the V46SHD requires a hydraulic flow rate of between 47-1/2 and 70 gallons per minute and is rated within the 7,500 foot-pound impact energy class. Standard features include a progressive start system that prevents the breaker from slipping, a blank- fire protection system that reduces harmful metal-to-metal contact, and an energy recovery system that recycles recoil energy to increase strike power. The fully hydraulic breaker's enclosed energy chamber provides maximum and constant energy with every blow. Montabert | www.montabert.com
