Modular washing and screening Terex Washing Systems plans to roll out the AggreSand system during the second quarter of 2013. The AggreSand design incorporates Terex washing systems in a modular design that is pre-wired and pre-plumbed to allow for quick and easy set-up, as well as ease of maintenance. A 12-cubic-meter hopper is available with an automatic tipping grid and a 12-foot, two-deck vibrating grid complete with variable speed belt feeder, all controlled from the main operator interface and radio control unit. A wide feed conveyor sports a direct drive electric motor and gearbox arrangement and will work at a 19-degree angle when feeding the system. The three-deck, twobearing rinsing screen has riveted construction to reduce stress associated with welds. Each deck has eight individually controlled spray bars, which are isolated from vibration. A split sump tank receives rinsed fines from the bottom deck of the screen while two centrifugal slurry pumps move material from the sump tank into two hydrocyclones. Underflow from the hydrocyclones goes to a dewatering screen fitted with two counter rotating vibratory motors. The unit also has the option of three aggregate and two sand conveyors, which are powered by direct drive electric motors and gearbox arrangements. Terex Systems | www.terex.com Rugged hammer design Caterpillar has added three new models to the E Series Hammer line — H140Es, H160Es, and H180Es—for use on medium and large excavators. The units have a rugged design for extended durability and solid reliability and boast features such as an automatic shut-off, silencing, and vibration buffering to make them easier on the operator. Common hand tools may be used for field service. The hammers match up with Cat excavators ranging from the 324E to the 374D L; mounting brackets are available for quick couplers. The energy class ranges from 6,000 foot-pounds to 12,000 foot-pounds. A symmetrical new housing design allows 180 degrees of rotation to compensate for wear. Caterpillar | www.cat.com Aggregate truck body Philippi-Hagenbuch, Inc. introduced a new design for its Aggregate HiVol Body. The new body, developed for use in quarry environments, fits all brands of off-highway, rigid-frame haul trucks. Designed to match the life of the truck, the new body is said to decrease material carryback of stick material. Engineers gather information on height and width restrictions, as well as loading tools and hopper/loadout, to create a body tailored for maximum productivity and minimum maintenance according to sitespecific needs. The body's design also incorporates the tailgate, allowing for maximum payload. Philippi-Hagenbuch | www.philsystems.com 10 AGGREGATES MANAGER May 2013 Rollout_AGRM0513.indd 10 4/18/13 10:24 AM
