With an operating weight between 140,456 pounds and 145,284 pounds, it maintains the productivity and transportability of its predecessor while improving fuel efficiency, cab design, and serviceability. Equipped with the latest Komtrax technology, it tracks fuel levels and other standard operating parameters while also offering a new Operator Identification System for up to 100 ID codes. A new Auto Idle Shutdown function helps reduce idle times, and a Komatsu SAA6D140E-7 Tier 4 Final engine provides 436 net horsepower. Komatsu America Corp. | www.komatsuna.com Sand plant recovers fines, reduces moisture Superior Industries, Inc. introduces the Spirit Sand Plant for sand production and fines recovery. The unit's configuration includes a cyclone, dewatering screen, sump pump, and slurry pump to classify and produce salable manufactured sand. The 12-inch and 16-inch models are made with cast urethane of 3/8-inch to 1-inch thickness. The material is said to be lighter, easier to handle, and have better wear properties than steel. The 24-inch and 36-inch models are built with structural steel and a poured urethane liner. The cyclones are built with a unique geometri- cally offset feed. The design is said to eliminate inefficient turbulence, boost the precision of classification, and reduce wear to the components. The dewatering screen reduces moisture content to as low as 8 percent. The Spirit Sand Plant is available in four models, with outputs ranging from 60 to 200 tons per hour. Superior Industries, Inc. | www.superior-ind.com Tier 4 Final loader improves fuel efficiency KCM Corp. announces the Tier 4 Final version of its 80Z7 wheel loader. Designed to be more fuel efficient than its predecessors, the loader is equipped with a 4.2-cubic-yard general purpose bucket and produces 200 gross horsepower from its Cummins QSHB6.7 diesel engine. The KCM IntelliTech Operating System provides control of all systems and includes a variable-speed reversible fan that minimizes parasitic power drain while providing maximum cooling as needed. A lock-up clutch in the transmission provides better hill climbing, faster acceleration, and greater fuel economy. The loader achieves Tier 4 Final standards through the use of a diesel oxidation catalyst and selective catalytic reduction technology that injects diesel exhaust fluid. A super-wide angle rear view camera provides a clear view to a monitor easily viewed by the operator. Steering is available with a conventional steering wheel or joystick steering. KCM Global e-Service telematics are standard. KCM Corp. | www.kcmcorp.com
