ROLLOUTS AGGREGATES MANAGER / September 2016 11 Motor grader gets multiple upgrades Cat unveils its 14M3 motor grader, which boasts a larger engine (the Cat C13 Acert engine), increased fuel efficiency, improved machine balance, enhanced transmission performance, advanced electro-hydraulic steering, more powerful telematics, and added operator safety and convenience features. A drawboard- circle-moldboard assembly is designed for productive performance in a range of applications, and long-term durability of major structures is said to offer low operating costs and serviceability for optimum value. A fully scalable, factory- integrated Cat Grade with Cross Slope system allows operators to maintain the desired cross slope by automatically controlling one side of the blade. The newly patented Stable Grade and Auto Articulation technologies improve ma- neuverability and performance in tight working conditions. When paired with the optional Cat Advanced Control Joysticks, Cat Grade with Cross Slope allows precise operation with AccuGrade. Fleet management information is available through Cat Product Link telematics as well as through remote monitoring via VisionLink. Caterpillar | www.cat.com Heavy-duty electric screening Terex Washing Systems introduces the AggreScalp, a high-perfor- mance, heavy-duty electric screening machine that can operate as a two-way or three-way split screener. The aggressive screen can accept media including bofor bars, finger screens, woven mesh, and 3D punch plates, which allows it to be used across a wide variety of applications. With onboard hydraulic folding product conveyors, hydraulic screen angle adjustment, and single lift set-up, it is said to be easy to transport and easy to set-up. The AggreScalp can work in conjunction with the AggreSand range by providing a consistent feed material even in difficult applications. Terex Washing Systems | www.terex.com Expanded line of screens Powerscreen releases two new variations of its Warrior 2100 system: the Spaleck and a single-shaft screen. The Spaleck features a two- deck waste recycling screen with a Flip-Flow bottom deck, which uses rubber panels that move in a smooth wave motion expanding and con- tracting to keep the material in constant motion and break down sticky materials. The deck panels on the top and bottom deck are removable and can be replaced individually or together. The single-shaft screen uses a more conventional approach. Supported on 2- x 130-mm bearings, it provides screening angles of up to 18 degrees. The drive system is mounted directly to the screen side and is pulley driven to ensure that optimum hydraulic efficiency can be achieved at both standard and increased amplitudes. Both units are powered by a Cat C4.4 four-cylinder diesel engine designed to run at 1,800 rpm. Each can be ordered with a Dual Power option, which has a fully integrated control system allowing an operator to power the machine via diesel or directly from a power source. Powerscreen | www.powerscreen.com Compact cone crusher line Weir Minerals announces the release of its Trio TP cone crushers, which operate at a higher speed than their predecessors to provide higher reduction and better shape. The compact crushers are built with automation technology to ensure performance and versatility. They feature a steep crushing chamber angle, a large crushing stroke, and optimum speed to deliver a finer product through in- creased inter-particle comminution. Engineers designed a direct drive option for the crushers, which can be combined with a variable frequency drive to provide energy savings. Weir Minerals | www.trio.weir
