AGG1 2018 Exhibitor Profile: Am Cast
Booth 1464 To answer the call for a machine that can turn waste byproduct into a saleable asset, Am Cast developed the Rocky Transformer. It produces high-quality sand from a variety of aggregate waste materials. From cone crusher byproduct to virgin bank run river rock, the Rocky produces saleable sand product with a spherical grain structure in one pass. There is no grinding or compression but instead 85 to 100 percent usable sand from a 100 percent impact crushing product. It has fewer critical wear parts, helping to reduce machine maintenance needs. www.amcastonline.com Keep Reading

AGG1 2018 Exhibitor Profile: Van der Graaf
Booth 2006 Van der Graaf developed the GrizzlyDrive to deliver a drum motor to the market that can withstand the high-vibratory conditions and the dustiest of aggregate and mining environments. The electric motor on the GrizzlyDrive was redesigned to design “C” standards for 220 to 250 percent starting torque. Because the GrizzlyDrive can be used in high-vibratory applications like crushed or conveyors, the electric motor magnet wire is fused with 15,000 volts dielectric strength and heavier insulation. End flanges are made with a concave profile to allow dust buildup and debris between the conveyor frame and the drive to be discharged, protecting the drive, seals and belt. Additionally, the oil seals used on the GrizzlyDrive were upgraded to mechanical seals that are equipped with protectors that prevent foreign material from penetrating the seal cavity. www.vandergraaf.com Keep Reading
AGG1 2018 Exhibitor Profile: Haver & Boecker
Booth 1641 Designed for minimal structural vibration, Haver & Boecker’s Tyler F-Class vibrating screen is ideal for tough applications, such as scalping and classifying ores, minerals, stones, sand and gravel. The F-Class offers three screen decks and features an advanced double-eccentric shaft design that’s supported by four high-performance, double-spherical roller bearings. Machines experience minimal structural vibration, allowing multiple screens to be placed side by side in the same building. To minimize downtime for screen media change-outs, Haver & Boecker equips cambered decks on the F-Class with its Ty-Rail quick-tensioning system. Additionally, Haver & Boecker offers the Pulse vibration analysis program to monitor the ongoing health of the F-Class and other vibrating screens through real-time views, logged reports and data analysis. www.havercanada.com Keep Reading
AGG1 2018 Exhibitor Profile: KPI-JCI & Astec Mobile Screens
Booth 2542 Kolberg-Pioneer Inc. (KPI), Johnson Crushers International Inc. (JCI) and Astec Mobile Screens Inc. will showcase aggregate and RAP-processing solutions at AGG1. KPI-JCI & Astec Mobile Screens’ aggregate and reclaimed asphalt pavement-processing solutions come in multiple configurations from mobile units to complete portable or stationary systems. Advanced automation controls and custom-designed components can add versatility and enhanced productivity to operations. There will be scale models on display at the conference. The group of Astec companies provides high-performance crushing, screening, material handling and washing and classifying equipment. www.kpijci.com Keep Reading
AGG1 2018 Exhibitor Profile: Kleemann/Wirtgen America
Booth 1324 The Kleemann MR 130 Zi EVO2 impactor will be exhibited at the Wirtgen America booth at AGG1. These mobile impactors can be equipped with optional secondary vibrating screens with extra-large screening surfaces mounted on the discharge conveyor. This secondary screening unit can produce spec material, potentially eliminating the need for a separate screen. The feeding unit has hydraulically folding hopper walls and a locking system, which speeds up setup. A vibrating, independent double-deck prescreen between the hopper and crusher eliminates fines from the product flow before they enter the crusher, reducing wear and cutting fuel costs. These crushers feature a new inlet geometry, which allows better penetration of the material into the range of the rotor. Also, the wear behavior of the new C-form impact ledges has been improved so that the edges remain sharper longer. www.wirtgen-group.com/america Keep Reading
