National Mining Hall of Fame & Museum Historical Mining Display
Since man first ventured underground in search of valuable minerals, numerous methods of lighting the darkness have been employed. Torches were first used, then oil lamps with simple wicks led the way. As technology advanced, candles and lanterns came along, followed by battery powered head lamps and electric lighting. Today, LED cap lamps are the next evolution in mine illumination. Historical mining illumination equipment is on display at the National Mining Hall of Fame & Museum, Leadville, Colo. www.mininghalloffame.org Keep Reading
Unified Screening & Crushing SuperFlow with Tufflex Wire
SuperFlow® is a hybrid of Wire Cloth and Polyurethane support strips. Each wire vibrates independently, providing harmonic frequency that produces a lively screen surface. SuperFlow delivers maximum throughput, resists blinding/plugging and maintains accurate sizing. SuperFlow is made with Tufflex™ Wire – Offering higher tensile strength, providing more ductility and is less susceptible to breakage. Reports from the field state, “… it outlasts any previous product.” www.unifiedscreening.com Keep Reading
Crown Eagle IMS MS842W Wheeled Screen Plant
Crown Eagle offers the Irish Manufacturing Services (IMS) MS842W wheeled screen plant (150-300 tph) at a price which they say cannot be matched in the industry. Savings are realized by not paying for self-propulsion and the universally road-compliant fifth wheel tow package eliminates the cost of a float. MS842W features end-to-end crowning, a double deck 4-bearing screen, three patented folding conveyors and the largest feed hopper in its class coupled with a proven 15 year track record. This combination provides higher production and much more efficient separation than similarly sized flat screens. The on-board stockpiling and product conveyors allow for fast setup by eliminating the need for free standing stackers. www.crown-eagle.ca Keep Reading
Unified Screening & Crushing Tufflex
Tufflex is designed for high impact and/or abrasive processes. Special Tufflex material offers greater tensile strength, ductility and corrosion resistance compared to other wire screen media. The elongated and fine grains in the wire decrease the surface rust and corrosion compared to other wire types and make it less susceptible to breakage.
