Fenner Dunlop Engineered Conveyor Solutions
Fenner Dunlop’s UsFlex conveyor belting has longitudinal rip resistance whose rating, according to the company, is more than three times more effective than those of multiple ply belts because of a unique straight-warp construction. Fenner Dunlop says the conveyor belting provides more than twice the impact resistance of conventional plied belting. The added toughness means the belt will not be easily damaged in the loading and conveying of large, sharp material. UsFlex is available in both single- and dual-unit carcass designs, with tension ratings ranging through 1800 lbs. per in. of width. Additionally, UsFlex has a unique carcass-binder system, which acts as a built-in breaker to resist impact, rip and puncture. FennerDunlopAmericas.com Keep Reading

BTI: BXR160
At 16,000 ft-lbs, the BXR160 is designed for rugged, continuous duty for use in demanding breaking applications. It offers an extra-long stroke design, which improves the power-to-weight ratio of the breaker, providing the widest carrier range (120,000 to 220,000 lbs.) and power available, the company says. Precise tolerances between the piston and cylinder provide high efficiency, blow rate and power. Large cross-section upper and lower shock-absorbing isolators reduce vibration feedback to the carrier. BTI's exclusive front head restraint system tightly guides the front head within the housing, reducing loading to the tie rods and the upper portion of the breaker. A narrow box housing design is well suited to tight trenching conditions. RockBreaker.com Keep Reading
