AGGREGATES MANAGER | January 2016 10 Smart upgrade to the Cat D6N The Caterpillar D6N dozer has been given a new "smart" upgrade that features a new cab, increased fuel efficiency, and advanced grade tech- nology that comes standard. The D6N has a new transmission with a lock-up clutch torque converter and an enhanced auto shift system that is said to increase fuel efficiency by up to 15 percent. The cab has been upgraded to give operators more legroom, a new instrument display, and an improved HVAC system. The standard Connect Grade technology — including Cat Grade Control Slope Assist, Cat Stable Blade, and Cat Slope Indicate — helps operators handle the machine's blade in order to increase productivity. Cat says the Grade Control Slope Assist can help get the job done 39 percent faster, with 68 percent better surface qual- ity and 82 percent less operator effort.

The C-1554 features the Terex MVP450x cone crusher with an all-in feed, direct variable-speed clutch drive, and a hydraulic closed-side settling adjustment. The C-1554 has a fuel-efficient, direct drive transmission with wet clutch, a hy- draulic tramp relief system to protect the chamber and minimize downtime, and a metal detection system to protect the cone from tramp metal. Terex Finlay | www.terexfinlay.com Horizontal screens with increased production Terex Mineral Processing Systems unveils two new screens in its line of V Series horizontal screens. The 5-foot by 16-foot and 6-foot by 16-foot two- and three-deck screens are said to help increase produc- tion and handle applications traditional horizontal screens can't. The screen's high G-force El-Jay 3:1 oval stroke motion and the variable slope operation help it handle larger deck loads. The new V Series screens have more steel in the rock zone for better durability and a low maintenance vibration damper system. Each screen can be in- stalled up to 10 degrees, in 2.5-degree increments. Terex | www.terexmps.com
