PHILIPPI-HAGENBUCH, INC. Hard-rock truck bodies The new HiVol hard rock/ore bodies from Philippi-Hagenbuch are designed to handle highly abrasive material, while minimizing carryback and maintenance requirements. The company says the body is narrower at the front than at the back, so material releases immedi- ately when it begins to dump and slides out without abrading the sides. Engineers work with mining customers to identify key factors that will impact the truck body design so that each is customized to the individual mine's application and specifications.

POWERSCREEN, A TEREX COMPANY Highly flexible portable screen Powerscreen says its Warrior 1400X portable screen is designed for reduced engine run- ning speed and a reduction in fuel consumption of up to 15 percent in comparison to its predecessor. The unit offers improved versatility and design specifications, improved mobility with a two-speed tracking system as standard, and a screening-angle range of 13 to 19 inches. Standard stockpiling capacity on all conveyors has increased by up to 25 percent. Set-up and shutdown is faster than with the previous model. Serviceability features include a screen box raise function and the ability to raise the collection conveyor. The chute design, in combination with the new feeder under-tray slide-out feature, is said to minimize potential spillage and reduce harmful material buildup around the machine.

SANDVIK MINING Next-generation crushing technology Sandvik says its new Vibrocone crusher is the next generation of crushing technology, which changes the rules for crushing and opens the way for energy savings and new eco-efficient crushing alternatives. It is said to combine the best of conventional crushing and grinding principles to produce a finely crushed product, while enabling up to 30-percent energy savings in downstream processing. In existing crushing circuits with rod and/or ball milling stages, it can replace the rod mills or act as a pre-grinding unit for the ball mills. The technology is covered by several U.S. patents, as well as additional international patents. Sandvik Mining; sandvik.com. Text INFO to 205-289-3782 or visit aggman.com/info. SUPERIOR INDUSTRIES Precision belt scale Superior says its new conveyor belt scale is designed to produce precision measurements with two, independent load cells that display readings separately on the diagnostics screen. The scale is avail- able in two models — WB and HD. The WB model, with an accuracy rating of 1.0 percent (+/- 0.5 percent), features independent weigh-bridge brackets and accommodates multiple belt widths. The HD model, built with a continuous weigh bridge for increased accuracy and structural integrity, boasts an accuracy rating of 0.5 percent (+/-0.25 percent). Both models can handle up to 2,000 tons per hour of ma- terial. An optional speed sensor mounts to most conveyor frames and adjusts to applicable belt widths. Superior Industries; superior-ind.com.

TELSMITH, INC., AN ASTEC COMPANY Mine-duty crusher Telsmith launched its new T900 cone crusher, a mine-duty machine designed to deliver maximum uptime, productivity, safety, and ease of maintenance. Output capacity ranges from 550 to 2,100 metric tons per hour. With up to a 15-inch feed size, the 900-horsepower crusher is designed with eight cylinders, rather than 12, and is said to be rated with the largest-in-class clearing stroke and the highest-in-class crushing force. It is nitrogen-free and engineered with a patented release system that eliminates the need for maintenance- intensive hydraulic accumulators. A new, patent-pending anti-spin feature mounted on top of the machine prevents head spin, which helps to extend manganese life. Telsmith, Inc.; telsmith.com.
