Am Cast will showcase the crushing unit from the Rocky Transformer Sandmill. Built with proprietary parts developed by the company, the sand crusher (called “Rocky”) features internal parts of cast FX25 alloy (25 percent high chrome white iron). Wear-resistant inserts on the blow bars, distributor paddles and apron tips prolong wear life. The unit can produce 85 percent to 95 percent usable sand from feed material in a single pass, the company says, helping companies be cleaner and greener. “Rocky” can produce 85 percent to 95 percent usable sand from feed material in a single pass, the company says.

AGG1 2016 Exhibitor Profile: Luff Industries
Luff’s High Moisture Seal is a urethane disc that seats inside the end cap, remaining stationary as the roller rotates around it, to provide anti-lock technology, reducing or eliminating rollers seizing due to excess debris or material spillage, and deflect direct moisture pressure. It is designed for areas with high humidity or excessive moisture and the potential for fine particle contamination. HMS-equipped rollers have a grease-packed cavity behind the shield that prevents moisture and contaminants from getting behind the disc. The patented end cap design and a triple labyrinth seal and urethane disc combine to offer what the company says is unmatched sealing protection that reduces conveyor maintenance and increases roller efficiency.

AGG1 2016 Exhibitor Profile: KPI-JCI & Astec Mobile Screens
The new, compact 2056 Vanguard Jaw is the latest jaw crusher in KPI-JCI and Astec Mobile Screens’ product line. It features a 20-inch-by-56-inch jaw crusher ideal for sand and gravel applications. It also can be used for recycled concrete and mining applications. A new single-cylinder auto-tension system means less maintenance, increased reliability and reduced wear part consumption. A new wear set provides easier access and increased uptime, while a new corrugated stationary wedge increases the crusher gap and maintains a steep nip angle, for less slippage. The company says its shaft and bearing assembly increases serviceability and reduces maintenance and rebuild cost for a lower total cost of ownership over the unit’s lifetime.
