Doublescreen technology
offers more screening
flexibility
Sandvik Construction introduced the new QA335 Doublescreen
to give more screening flexibility. The new mid-size version of
the Doublescreen has patented two-deck screens to perform
two processes with one plant. The QA335 has two high-velocity
screen boxes with independent screen drives that can be adjusted
for each application. It also has wrap-around walkways to give
operators easy access for service and maintenance.

New simulator training system
Simformation LLC's new simulator training system, the Cat Simulators
Off-Highway Truck System, is set in a quarry environment so workers
can learn what they would do in a real-world mine. The system has
authentic controls and teaches controls familiarization, how to do a
machine walkaround, systems testing, driving, hauling, braking, loading,
unloading, and an open training mode for users to try any of the
techniques. The simulator comes with the SimU Campus software that
sends information back to the instructors.

Reversing belt trainer
Flexco released its first reversing belt trainer, called the PT Pro, as the
final piece of the company's line of trackers. The PT Pro Belt Trainer has a
"pivot and tilt" design that can track single-direction and reversing belts.
The belt trainer has tapered rollers to eliminate the need for sensor roll-
ers. It can also be used for belts that are mistracking or wandering on
each side. The PT Pro comes in standard and heavy-duty options.
