ROLLOUTS 10 AGGREGATES MANAGER / March 2017 Chip-resistant tires for underground applications Yokohama Tire Corp.'s Y67 off-the-road lineup is available in three new tread patterns and is designed to provide the traction needed for optimal performance. Available in sizes 36x11- 15 24-ply, 32x15-15 28-ply, 35x15-15 32-ply, and 38x16-15 36-ply, the tire is said to offer cut and chip resistance due to an advanced tread composition, while a non-directional tread design provides traction in tough, rocky underground surfaces. An optimized rubber-to-void ratio balances cut resistance and traction with tread life, while dual bead construction makes the use of a core optional, allowing for enhanced performance in high-pressure applications. Yokohama Tire Corp. | www.yokohamaotr.com Idlers designed to handle higher loads Superior Industry debuts an expanded line of Mine Duty Idlers. A new double tube design features inner and outer tube construction to give the idler in- creased rigidity for higher load ratings. The design has a 20-percent higher load rating than CEMA to improve service life. The inner tube insulates the bearing from vibration, reducing misalignment and increasing the life of the bearing. As the outer shell wears, the inner tube maintains the structural in- tegrity of the roller. The double tube models are available in belt widths up to 120 inches and are equipped with bearing sizes up to 60 mm. Superior Industries Inc. | www.superior-ind.com Expanded on/off road tire offerings Continental offers three new on/off road tires, including the HCS, HTC1, and HDC1. The HCS is a heavy construction service all-position tire designed for on/off road, mining, and heavy mix axle applications. It balances heavy-duty traction and on/off road performance. The HTC1 is a heavy trailer construction tire. The wide-base tire is designed for on/off road with mixed service applications that far exceed the trailer designation. The HDC1 is a heavy drive construction traction tire designed for severe on/off road applications and is said to provide superior traction in the toughest conditions. Continental | www.continental-corporation.com Customized dust control Dust Control Technology rolls out a technology that complements its existing line of stationary dust suppression rings with the ability to produce geometric shapes, bars, or other configurations to meet the needs of the application. Each design is specially-engineered for the application and equipment of the individual operator for customized dust management. The solution is said to offer more reliable dust suppression on radial stackers, crushers, and screeners. At the core of the system, water is pumped into a stainless-steel manifold and atomized by a series of spe- cially designed nozzles that fracture the water into a cascading mist.
