ROLLOUTS
Heavy duty conveyor pulleys
Baldor Electric Co. introduced conveyor pulleys with XT hubs and bushings. The XT conveyor pulleys are available in
heavy duty, mine duty, and mine duty extra construction, in both drum pulley and wing pulley design. The pulleys feature
thicker end discs, which means they can power through tough conditions.

Mobile plant monitoring
Metso now offers fleet management systems for its Lokotrack
mobile applications. Metso Fleet Management system consists of
an IC process control system, a satellite uplink, and a Metso DNA
Report portal. The system collects and presents a daily overview
of the operating fleet, including effective operating hours, fuel
consumption, location of the units, alarms, and parameter changes.
With the new fleet management tool, information collected by the
Metso IC process control system is sent from the crushing units
via satellite to an internet portal. Data can be compared between
units, days, or weeks.

Ceramic pulley lagging
Flexco introduces its Flex-Lag Medium Ceramic Pulley Lagging, which
features 39-percent tile coverage and complements its Full Ceramic and Dia-
mond Ceramic lines. The pulley lagging can be used in dry, wet, or muddy
applications where slippage can occur. Horizontal grooves in the lagging
trap and deflect water and debris, while the molded ceramic buttons grip the
belt's underside for positive traction and no slippage. The lagging comes in
strip widths ranging from 35 to 101 inches to match pulley face widths or 18
to 84 inches to match belt widths. It works with pulley diameters over 12.6
inches and is also available in SBR or FRAS rubber.

Tier 4 Final loaders
The Volvo L110H and L120H are said to be among the manufac-
turer's most environmentally friendly and fuel-efficient machines
to date. The latest generation of machines in the 18- to 22-ton
class is powered by an 8-liter tier 4 Final engine with fully auto-
matic regeneration that combines high performance with low
emissions and low fuel consumption. The powertrain and intel-
ligent hydraulics, which supply power on demand, supplement the
engine's efficiency. Load-sensing hydraulics offer faster response
for control over the load and shorter cycle times. The Reverse-By-
Braking function automatically reduces engine rpm and applies
the service brakes when the operator changes the direction of the
machine, which not only conserves fuel, but also reduces stress
on the drivetrain. OptiShift technology combines the braking
function with a lock-up torque converter to create a direct drive
between the engine and transmission, eliminating power losses in
the torque converter and reducing fuel consumption by up to 18
percent.
