AGGREGATES MANAGER / August 2017 9 Scrubs clay and other contaminants McCloskey Washing Systems launches its Aggstorm Range, which is designed to operate as a stand-alone unit or integrate with one of its SandStorm wash plants. AggStorm is designed to manage various types of clay-bound material where aggres- sive scrubbing and washing, rather than simple screening, is required. Suitable for sand and gravel and C&D applications, the unit aggressively removes clays and silts, as well as any light debris.

An additional gear between first and second allows the machine to remain in the most efficient mode for a higher period of time. The dozer is also said to be easier to operate — just set the desired ground speed, and the four-speed transmission will set the powertrain for optimum ef- ficiency. The unit is powered by the Tier 4 Final Cat C9.3 Acert engine, which has a net power rating of 215 horsepower. Cat Connect Grade technologies, ranging from simple grade indica- tors to fully factory-integrated GPS, are available.

The CR032 chamber is said to give ex- cellent reduction ratios and high consistency of product shape, while material flow through the plant has been enhanced by increasing the width of components. The machine features an elec- tronic control system that manages the speed of the rotor and regulates the heavy-duty vibrating feeder with integrated pre-screen to maintain a consistent feed of material to the impact chamber. Material from the integrated pre-screen can be diverted to a stockpile via an optional by-pass conveyor, or it can join the crushed product on the main belt. The hopper capacity is 7.5 cubic yards.
