Designed for harsh conditions Weir Minerals; weirminerals.com. High-pressure grinding Metso Mining and Construction says it incorporated several key Weir Minerals says its new line of Multiflo dewatering pumps can be modified to handle the largest open-mine pits with the harshest water conditions. According to the company, two of the units — the MF-90V high-flow pump and the MF210MV high-head pump — can be custom built to suit any mine-specific application, ensuring top performance and improving productivity. The pumps are built from corrosion- and wear- resistant materials.

Its patented arch-frame creates an even gap setting across the width of the tires, limiting skewing that can result in downtime. This prevents damage to the roller bearings caused by misalignment. Flanges, used in place of spring-loaded cheek plates, keep material within the crushing zone and prevent material from bypassing the tires, which is said to enable greater circuit capacity and increase overall crushing efficiency.

Hard-rock bodies Philippi-Hagenbuch says its new HiVol Hard Rock/Ore Bodies take hauling hard rock and ore to an innovative new level. The bodies are designed to easily handle highly abrasive material while minimizing carryback and maintenance requirements. The reduced-weight design is said to keep operators comfortable while allowing trucks to haul at maximum capacities. Each truck body is customized to the individual mine's application and specifications. Philippi-Hagenbuch, Inc.; philsystems.com. Text INFO to 205-289-3782 or visit aggman.com/info. Safer, longer lasting Up to 20 percent additional engine torque can be transmitted to the ground, potentially doubling the tire's life. The tires are available in sizes 26.5 R 25, 29.5 R 25, 29.5 R 29, and 35/65 R 33 and can be Michelin says its new XMine D2 multi-purpose tire features inte- grated B2 technology, which makes it safer and longer lasting. Its load capacity rating was increased to two stars, which means its load capacity has increased by up to 24 percent. B2 technology strengthens the bead area and eliminates the problems of tires shifting on the rim. This enhances trac- tion and productivity, while energy con- sumption and CO2 emissions are lowered. mounted on standard rims using a traditional mounting. Michelin; michelinearthmover.com.

The unit's straightforward tie-bolt and clamp design is easy to in- stall and maintain. Seven fasteners are all that are needed for a complete rebuild. A twist-to-lock option simplifies apex removal and service, and drop-in glue-free liners reduce build time. Tongue and groove mating surfaces foster precision alignment. Long-lasting urethane and ceramic cones and powder-coated steel construction resist cor- rosion and damage. By adding weep holes for early wear detection, customers can virtually eliminate unplanned outages. The unit is avail- able in eight sizes ranging from 2.5 to 33 inches.
