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
