Immersive Technologies: Advanced Equipment Simulators
The new PRO3-B and UG360-B Advanced Equipment Simulators represent an upgrade to Immersive Technologies’ PRO3 and UG360 models. They feature an Enhanced Trainer Station, a dual-monitor interface that allows a trainer to better manage the simulator during a session. Trainers can now observe a 3D view, trigger events, review errors as they occur, generate reports, administer scenarios and learners all while running training sessions, vastly improving trainer efficiency. The two-screen setup allows a trainer to administer the simulator on one screen, while a view of the session is run on the second screen. New views of the simulation are part of the enhancement, and include multiple fixed views and free-roaming camera settings that allow the trainer to view the learner’s performance from any angle. The Station is also available as an upgrade for all owners of PRO3 and UG360 Advanced Equipment Simulators. www.immersivetechnologies.com Keep Reading
Baldor Electric Co.: MST Soft Starter
Baldor Electric Co.’s new MST Soft Starter with six SCR three-phase voltage control offers advanced protection for the motor, the soft starter and the load. Available from 7.5 to 1,000 hp at 208 to 575 Vac (volts alternating current), this product is suitable for a wide variety of applications, including pumps, compressors, fans, conveyors, mixers and stirrers. It features programmable torque control, providing a more linear acceleration during start that reduces wear and tear – and during stop, virtually eliminates pump water hammer. It also offers integrated advanced motor protection with current sensing, programmable signal relays, programmable analog output and a built-in keypad interface. MST Digital Soft Starters are available in two styles: The open starter has a small footprint that makes mounting easy, and is loaded with high-end features that improve performance and save energy. The enclosed combination starter combines overcurrent protection and overload protection in a single package. www.baldor.com Keep Reading
W.S. Tyler: F-Class Vibrating Screens
W.S. Tyler’s F-Class Vibrating Screens are ideal for challenging screening applications requiring consistent performance and minimal vibration. Featuring an advanced double eccentric shaft design, the four-bearing F-Class ensures the most effective screening action by generating a positive stroke that handles material volume spikes without losing momentum. The dynamically balanced system reduces structural vibration, allowing multiple screens to be placed side by side. The F-Class is available in widths of 4, 6, 8 and 10 ft., and, thanks to its completely modular design, can be run in tandem creating up to a 32-ft.-long screen. Designed for high tonnage outputs, the F-Class can process up to 1,200 tph, providing fast, accurate classification of virtually any material. www.wstyler.ca Photo: W.S. Tyler Keep Reading
Thompson Pump: 8JSCW
Thompson Pump’s 8JSCW high-head, pit dewatering pump is dry-running, portable, automatically priming and diesel-driven. The centrifugal pump offers maximum flows up to 4,250 gpm and high discharge heads up to 660 ft. — ideal for many mining and hydraulic fracking operations that can handle clear liquids or solids up to 2 in. www.ThompsonPump.com Photo: Thompson Pump Keep Reading
Caterpillar: H75Es and H95Es
Caterpillar is expanding the E Series Hammer line with the addition of the new H75Es and H95Es, designed for backhoe loaders and small excavators. E Series Hammers are wholly designed, engineered and manufactured by Caterpillar. The hammers are fully supported by Cat dealers, so customers can work with a single organization for machine and work tool parts and service. E Series hammers feature automatic shutoff, which instantly stops the hammer when the tool breaks through material. The system increases hammer reliability and durability by eliminating the high internal stresses created by blank firing. Sound suppression is standard, for environmental protection and improved operator comfort. www.Cat.com Photo: Caterpillar Keep Reading
KPI-JCI: 9400P
The KPI-JCI 9400P portable fines recovery plant can help aggregate producers reduce the volume of fine material reporting to their settling ponds without the use of flocculants. Key material processing components of the plant include a rubber-lined slurry pump with variable frequency drive, rubber-lined hydrocyclones, a heavy-duty dewatering screen and a dual inlet slurry sump with bypass capabilities, all on a road-portable chassis. To reach maximum capacity, operators can adjust sump, pump, cyclone and screen sizes and quantities. Additionally, an air suspension axle assembly, hydraulic leveling jacks, hydraulically folding cyclone support system and gas/hydraulic power pack ensure ease of plant setup and teardown, without the use of external equipment. www.KPIJCI.com Keep Reading
Wilden: HX400S
Rather than relying on costly external boosters or amplifiers, one of the liquid chambers on Wilden’s new HX400S high-pressure, air-operated double-diaphragm (AODD) pump is used as an amplification chamber. This allows the pump to generate a 2:1 ratio of discharge fluid pressure to air inlet pressure – resulting in the ability to achieve a discharge fluid pressure of up to 250 psig. Additionally, the HX400S pump, which is available with 1.5-in. inlet and discharge connections, is outfitted with Wilden’s Pro-Flo X Air Distribution System. The Pro-Flo X ADS features a state-of-the-art Efficiency Management System, which allows the operator to dial in the actual operational parameters regardless of the application demands or pump size. www.Wildenpump.com Photo: Wilden Keep Reading
Sandvik: CI511/512 crusher
The second generation of compact horizontal impact crushers from Sandvik provides low capital cost solutions, optimum performance and good cubical shape — all while ensuring low operating cost per ton. The all-new patented and highly modularized Sandvik CI511/512 crusher combines the ability to configure one base crusher into either a primary or a secondary configuration. In addition, the crusher is able to produce products with just two curtains for greater breakage. It’s equipped with an infinite hydraulic curtain adjustment, combined with a brake positioning system — relieving pressure and setting when uncrushable objects enter the crusher. No hydraulic power is required during normal operation, thus saving on operating power and reducing total power consumption. www.construction.Sandvik.com Photo: Sandvik Keep Reading
McLanahan: Dewatering screens
Dewatering screens were introduced in the late 1970s by McLanahan and quickly became the standard in the mining industry. McLanahan dewatering screens feature heavy side plates, stress relieved bridges and cross-beams. The cross-beams are Huck-fastened together (not welded) so that individual components can be replaced. Heavy-duty screen media is utilized for all applications and is manufactured in-house by McLanahan’s Polymers Division. This rugged, easily maintained design, along with the versatility of media combinations, is key to superior long-term performance and flexibility. McLanahan dewatering screens offer multiple advantages for construction and specialty aggregate producers including a drier, drip-free product that other types of equipment cannot provide. www.Mclanahan.com Photo: Mclanahan Keep Reading
