The unit is specifically engineered to optimize cone crusher performance. It features a 360-degree discharge opening and distributes a homogeneous feed to cone crushers to keep them choke-fed for improved efficiency, product consistency, and higher production rates. Deister Machine Co., Inc. | www.deistermachine.com Retrofit kit enables remote control operation Cat Command for loading enables line-of-sight remote control of Cat 988K Wheel Loaders and reduces the risk of injury in activities such as highwall and edge operations, stockpile feed- ing, and working on slopes and unstable surfaces. Available as a retrofit kit for 988K machines, the system features a compact control console supported by a shoulder harness. Ergonomic controls, common with the controls in the cab, give the opera- tor full access to primary machine functions. The controls are integrated with machine electronics to provide the same control and responsiveness as if operating from the cab. Advanced op- tions, such as Autodig, are accessible on the console, which works from as far as a quarter mile away from the machine. Caterpillar | www.cat.com Pre-screen increases crusher productivity Sandvik Mobile Crushers and Screens introduces the Sandvik QJ341+, which incorporates a double-deck pre- screen as standard to its QJ341 jaw crusher. The new pre-screen is said to provide high amplitude for separa- tion, enabling the unit to remove a large amount of fines for greater efficiency, higher productivity, and less wear. Sandvik says test results have shown an increase in productivity of as much as 30 percent in certain applica- tions. A new telescopic natural fines conveyor — with a discharge height of 10 feet, 3 inches — deals with the increased flow of pre-screened material, while a dirt chute with a steeper angle allows faster transfer of ma- terial. The mobile crusher is available with a choice of Cat or Volvo engine and features a self-locking hopper for set-up from the ground level. Sandvik | www.construction.sandvik.com
