It comes with a standard tipping grid, with options such as a vibrating grid, aggregate hopper, mulch hopper, or shredder. Features include a 48-inch-wide feed conveyor, 13.09-cubic-yard capacity, choice of a remote-control tipping grid or live head, tracked or wheeled base, and ground level access for ease of maintenance. McCloskey International | www.mccloskeyinternational.com Heavy-duty belt trainer protects belts Flexco offers the PTEX HD Belt Trainer, a high-per- formance tracking idler capable of handling wider belts and tougher conditions. Featuring pivot-and- tilt technology, it can be used in applications that require tracking to prevent damage to the belt or conveyor structure, including single-direction and reversing belts. The pivot-and-tilt feature keeps the belt away from the structure, while retaining material on the belt without the use of sensor or edge rollers. The tapered ends on the roller drive the mechanism, allowing the two forces to move the belt back to center. The belt trainer is available for belt widths of 42 to 84 inches and can be used on vulcanized or mechanically fastened belts on most applications up to 2,400 PIW maximum tension.
