Terex Washing Systems: Dual Power control system
Terex Washing Systems' (TWS) Dual Power control system is available on all versions of its M-Range wash plant. The Terex Dual Power system consists of both diesel-hydraulic and electrical-hydraulic power drives. This allows the customer to start, transport and operate the machine using the standard diesel engine. Once in position, and if a suitable electrical power source is available, the machine can be plugged into the electricity supply and the machine will operate using the electrical-hydraulic power drive – utilizing a much more efficient system and resulting in significantly reduced running costs, TWS says. If the plant needs to be moved, the customer can unplug, start the engine and move the machine to the desired location. www.terex.com Photo: Terex Keep Reading

Pre-screened material can be stockpiled via an optional dirt conveyor, or re-directed via the bypass chute onto the main product conveyor. An unrestricted 55-in. x 32-in. feed opening prevents bridging and maintains a consistent feed to the XA750, which features a hydraulic-assist closed-side setting adjustment system that can be changed at the touch of a button for product sizing control. A 288-kilowatt diesel engine that uses a direct drive system powers the unit. Engine power is transmitted to the crusher via a self-adjusting, dry plate clutch. www.powerscreen.com Photo: Powerscreen Keep Reading
Philippi-Hagenbuch: HiVol Series
Philippi-Hagenbuch’s line of HiVol water tanks are designed to optimize capacity and enhance travel safety. Built for any make or model of off-highway truck, the HiVol Series offers solutions related to dust suppression, fire protection, road construction and wash down. According to Philippi-Hagenbuch, it calculated the dynamic center of gravity of the fluid within the tank to engineer the HiVol Series with the lowest weight and greatest carrying capacity. This capacity can range up to 60,000 gallons. To ensure maximum safety, a fluid baffling system not only stops water surges from the back to front, but also provides a full-height, full-length, full-center structure that eliminates surging from side to side. Each tank features a series of compartments to eliminate any occurrence of surging, providing maximum stability at all normal haul speeds. www.philsystems.com Photo: Phil Systems Keep Reading
