Reduce the power consumption of a typical electromagnetic feeder by more than 50 percent with the EVF Series Feeder Control. The unit provides lower power consumption, minimizes electrical noise, and reduces installation and operations costs. The EVF uses a digital control platform that features both analog and network communication capabilities. It is based on an UL-approved design, providing a half-wave, single-phase output to the electromagnetic feeder with a three-phase or single-phase input to the control.

Masaba Mining Equipment
The patented design of Masaba’s MAGNUM Telescoping Conveyor provides constant positive traction and smoother stinger operation, improving long-term durability. With Masaba Track Technology, the danger of cable breakage and uncontrolled rollback is eliminated, as well as cable maintenance issues associated with winch systems. The MAGNUM goes from free wheel road travel to high torque stacking quickly, and its variable-speed power travel allows for improved pile quality/integrity. The standard 4-wheel-drive system provides positive traction in the field. The swing axle design provides for the widest and most stable footprint in the industry, the company says.

Hoyt Wire Cloth
Much greater production and wear-life can be realized with the use of Hoyt’s Hi-Rise Screens. Compressed and expanded oblong “Shaped Wire” is used to manufacture this highly efficient screen. Essentially, Hi-Rise offers the open area of a smaller wire diameter with the wear-life characteristics of a much larger wire diameter. Both screening efficiency and wear life are greatly increased by eliminating re-circulating material loads, which increases crusher wear life. HoytWireCloth.com Keep Reading
Polydeck Screen Corp.
PolyFlow is Polydeck's new proprietary screening set-up and media selection tool. Used in conjunction with Polydeck’s test laboratory, PolyFlow allows screen media selection to be customized to the customer’s specific screen setup and material characteristics in order to ensure proper media selection prior to committing capital. Because proper media selection up front saves money, time and lost production, PolyFlow incorporates variables like screening angle, machine speed and stroke, travel rate, total effective open area, panel material and features, and water volume, which are not included in traditional screen application reviews.

Kleemann
The Kleemann Mobicone MCO 11, a new 300-tph tracked mobile cone crusher, is now available for North America. With a 44-in.-diameter cone crusher as its core, the Mobicone MCO 11 provides high-performance secondary or tertiary crushing. Its 15.7-cu.-yd. large feed hopper is designed for direct feed from a primary crusher, or by wheel loader. The MCO 11 can accept feed of up to 10x10 in. in size. A variable-speed drive controls material flow from hopper into cone crusher, via a solid rubber belt 40 in. wide. It’s fed by a performance-boosting vibratory feeder, featuring special wear sheets that help prolong feed belt life. To easily service the cone assembly and for transport, the feed conveyor can be retracted. For more information visit Kleemann.info/en Photo: Kleeman Keep Reading

Major Wire Industries
Major Wire Industries Ltd. eliminates screening inefficiencies with its self-cleaning screen media and premium woven wire. The company is celebrating the 15th anniversary of its Flex-Mat independently vibrating wire technology, now in its third generation with Flex-Mat 3 Tensioned and Modular versions. The technology uses crimped wires assembled side-by-side and held together by distinctive lime-green polyurethane strips. Because each wire vibrates independently, it increases material screening action and in-spec material throughput, virtually eliminates blinding, pegging and clogging, according to the company.
