Atlas Copco: HB 4100
The new addition to Atlas Copco's heavy hydraulic breaker line, the HB 4100, provides better performance and higher efficiency than the preceding model, and it weighs less, the company says. The breaker has a service weight of 9,039 lbs. and is designed for carriers in the 88,185- to 154,324-lb. class. According to Atlas Copco, reduced weight and better performance mean similar results can be achieved with a smaller hydraulic breaker. A lighter breaker also means a smaller excavator can be used, saving both investment and operating costs. An improvement is a guide system that makes the breaker more stable and resilient, Atlas Copco adds. www.atlascopco.us Photo: Atlas Copco Keep Reading

AggFlow
AggFlow has expanded its wash and water capabilities to include features for simulating plant operations and enhancing productivity. According to AggFlow, it is allowing users to calculate mass aggregate and water balances flowing through a plant simulation using both stationary and mobile equipment. Building a simulation that calculates a theoretically perfect scenario and then comparing that scenario to actual operating results allows users to identify bottlenecks and inefficiencies in the plant operation and to optimize and maximize overall production, the company says. The program incorporates aspects of water processing in its calculations, including log washers, sand screws, classifiers, clarifiers and the entire range of scrubbing and attrition, as well as sand washing and dewatering machines. The program also incorporates pumps, spray bars, cyclones and other features to customize water-processing calculations and track water mass balance. www.aggflow.com Keep Reading
