Sturtevant: Whirlwind Air Classifier
The Whirlwind Air Classifier offers the exceptional ability to separate and dedust stone without using water, settling ponds or auxiliary equipment. The unit incorporates a self-contained fan and rejecter blade classification system. Its internal fan design does not require cyclones, air locks or a dedicated baghouse for product collection of particles in the range of 100 to 400 mesh. Completely self-contained, the low energy-consumption unit requires no process dust-collection equipment, Its long-wearing ceramic liners and inexpensive steel replaceable liners ensure long life, even when processing abrasive materials, and it offers easy access for cleaning and maintenance.

Philippi-Hagenbuch
Philippi-Hagenbuch constructs the Autogate series with a specific spec for each model and make of both articulated and rigid frame trucks. This tailored approach serves to not only eliminate spillage from the rear of the bed, but also prevents side spillage – even when driving on inclines or making sharp turns. The increased volume capacity proves effective for hard and rocky or liquid materials. As the body dumps, gravity naturally opens the tailgate to discharge material from the bed in a design that eliminates traditional maintenance headaches. There are no locks, cylinders, grease points or controls – virtually eliminating the potential of malfunction. Constructed of high-strength steel and an exclusive steel alloy chain, the tailgates boast maximum durability with virtually no maintenance, in a design durable enough to handle even large boulders. The three-piece construction allows for easily adapting to different bed widths, ensuring hassle-free installation through the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) or retrofitted on-site. www.philsystems.com Keep Reading
Laser Technology Inc.
Stockpile volume measurements are critical in making smart management decisions and maintaining a safe work environment. LTI’s laser-based measurement tools, TruPulse 360 R laser and MapSmart + Volume software, make your job easier and safer, the company says. They require minimal training, calculate data right in the field and cost less than a one-time flyover. This, the company says, makes it safe and efficient for one person to calculate volumes and tonnage without occupying the pile. www.lasertech.com/cmms/index.aspx?ad=482 Keep Reading
IROCK: RDS-20 Primary Crushing Plant
IROCK recently introduced the RDS-20 Primary Crushing Plant, and at AGG1 will discuss the closed-circuit design of its equipment. The design allows both decks of oversized material to return to the feeder for another pass through the crusher after the initial round of screening. This allows for 20 percent greater production than competitors’ machines. As the name suggests, the rapid deployment system (RDS) provides portability and rapid set-up time. The easy-to-operate unit combines a closed circuit design, high-performance four-bar impactor and heavy-duty components to produce a uniform, cubical product. Its 5-ft. x 16-ft. double-deck screen has the ability to crush, screen and separate up to three different sizes of materials (two sized and one crusher run), at a rate of up to 500 tph. The initial vibrating feed opening is 52 in. x 17 ft., while the crusher feed opening is 56 in. by 32 in. www.IROCKCrushers.com Keep Reading

Baldor Electric Co.: Dodge MAXUM XTR
The new Dodge MAXUM XTR concentric reducer features a compact, power-dense design, packaged in a rugged ductile iron housing, and is interchangeable with industry-preferred dimensions. The reducer’s Taconite seal system is standard and features a tandem HNBR seal design, with a grease purge cavity to optimize performance. The outer contact lip seal prevents ingress of contaminants without excessive re-lubrication. Longer-life tapered roller bearings, designed to meet or exceed AGMA standards, are used throughout the reducer. These bearings provide a minimum unadjusted L-10 life of over twice that of any other competitor. O-ring sealing and steel shims eliminate gasket creep. The units are available in nine case sizes, with torque ratings from 9,800 in.-lbs. to 575,000 in.-lbs. torque. Reducer accessories include internal high-capacity backstops, shaft-driven fans, scoop motor bracket package, or top motor mounts. www.Baldor.com Keep Reading
Vortex: Titan Series TLD Diverter
The TLD diverter is engineered to channel the flow of abrasive material away from the leading edge of the flapper vane. This feature is critical to maintain seal integrity and inhibit material leakage across the closed legs of the valve. Material handled with the TLD diverter can include aggregates, rock, glass cullet, sand, refractory mix and clinker. To extend the life of the diverter, the TLD has abrasion-resistant liners that can be replaced when needed. The TLD also comes standard with two removable access panels for inspection, cleaning and maintenance. www.vortexvalves.com Keep Reading
