AGGREGATES MANAGER April 2015 12 Quick release manifold bracket Dust Control Technologies introduces a quick-release manifold bracket, engineered to limit worker exposure to harsh service environments and potential safety hazards, while minimiz- ing process downtime. Designed to fit all fan-driven models of DustBoss atomized mist dust suppression equipment, the new bracket design allows removal and replacement of the manifold in about five minutes, with no tools required. The stainless-steel bracket and pin mounting system secure the manifold in place, allowing maintenance personnel to quickly remove and replace for routine cleaning or other service.

Its new tread design is non-directional and optimized to provide superior tread life when used in hard surface applica- tions. It is the first tire with diamond-shaped tread blocks made up of beveled facets, which offer six differ- ent grip angles. Michelin | www.michelin-us.com Upgraded face drilling rig Atlas Copco 'reloads' its Boomer M-Series drill rigs with a series of enhancements designed to make them stronger, cleaner, safer, and easier to operate. Design improvements include stronger booms, a new filtration system, increased safety features, and the company's rig control system. The BUT 36S booms are said to provide steadier articulation, and faster, more accurate positioning, while the filtration system keeps lubrication air and hydraulic oil free from water and fine par- ticles. The rigs are equipped with COP 1838HD+ rock drills. Atlas Copco | www.atlascopco.com Vertical turbine slurry pump Weir Minerals Floway Pumps offer the Floway VTSP — vertical turbine slurry pump — to address demand for a longer-lasting, abrasives sol- ids handling vertical turbine pump. Following several years of design, research, and testing, Weir says the unit has been demonstrated to last four times longer in solids handling services when compared and tested with the Floway verti- cal turbine pump bearing assembly. The patented bearing design allows for continuous operation in services with a maximum solid content of 10 percent by weight and excursions of 20 percent by weight during tempo- rary upset conditions.
