BHS-Sonthofen introduces universal pre-shredder

The new ‘Rapax’ is designed for processing various metal fractions, commercial waste, industrial waste and construction waste. It is available as part of either the 15xx or 20xx series in three different sizes, with shaft lengths ranging between 1.2m and 3.2m. Two tool geometries are available, either the serrated ‘Bat’ shaped version or the sturdy ‘Janus’ shape. The tearing table is located below the two shafts, which can be used along with tools to determine the particle size. The electrical drive is available in different power outputs, with up to 400kW being able to installed on request. The central distance of the two shafts has been selected to ensure that the tools do not interlock. The design of the tool and the reversing control system prevent material from wrapping around the shafts or adhering to them. The machine is designed to ensure that wear parts such as the shafts and tearing table can be removed and replaced. The shafts can move synchronously, asynchronously and in reverse, with the Rapax being designed to shred material in every running direction. The control system makes it possible to select the appropriate programme consisting of different movement sequences.

 

Cams launches ‘Centauro’ APR line

Cams has launched the Centauro L 120.56-APR and Centauro XL 150.56-APR models, two mobile plants that allow for recycling of demolished road paving and the preservation of bituminous components. They feature an EU Stage V diesel engine which can be bypassed to operate in full electric mode. Centauro is a crawler plant which is designed to complete all recycling operations in a single automated cycle. The pre-shredding pusher system reduces asphalt chunks to help the primary ‘FTR’ shredder to process all the input material (inlet plates up to 1,000mm). The FTR acts as a feeder for the ‘UVS’ screening system. The oversize material is redirected to the secondary ‘CTR’ shredder which reintroduces the treated material into the screening unit through to a closed cycle system. The shredding technique features counter rotating shafts at low rpm. The range uses 4G which transmits machine status and production data to site logistics.

 

Doppstadt showcases solutions at IFAT

The Doppstadt Group is showcasing processing solutions for waste management and recycling at the IFAT trade fair.

Other features include a modular top deck system and screen box jack up functionality.

 

Keestrack launches the ‘I4e’ impact crusher

Keestrack has introduced the I4e tracked mobile reversible impact crusher. Thanks to its reversible impact crusher technology, the machine can be used in secondary crushing of rock and recycling building materials. The design of the reversible horizontal impact crusher with a large variable crushing chamber, powerful rotor (Ø 1,100mm, four blow bars) and electronically monitored hydraulic gap adjustment (+80mm to -220mm with new tools) allows feed sizes of up to 250mm and ensures end products of 0/2mm in closed circuit. Secondary and tertiary crushing can be combined in one mobile solution. The model has production capacities from 100t/h to 250t/h. The drive unit with a 447kW diesel engine and 300kVa generator is designed as a removable drop off module. Electric drives for the crusher (160kW), feeders, conveyor belts and system hydraulics enable cost efficient and emission free plug in network operation. Besides ‘e-driven’ equipment, Keestrack also offers tracked engine units. With these units, several electric machines can be powered.

 

Lindner releases the ‘Urraco’ 4000 with ‘E-Drive’

Urraco 4000 is Lindner’s new mobile mid-range model and will be presented at IFAT. This model features optional plug and play E-Drive. Lindner states that the tracked chassis is powered by its own independent power unit thereby making it easy to take the shredder to its destination by quickly plugging it in and starting operation. The model also features facilitated accessibility to maintenance areas. Moreover, the twin shaft system, combined with the optimised material intake, shreds bulky and high volume materials. Thanks to the model’s extended operation area, feeding by a wheel loader is possible. The Urraco 4000 can be used to process such materials as waste wood, bulky waste and C&I.

 

Electric drive jaw crushers from Omega

Omega Crushing and Screening has developed a range of plug in, dual power, electric drive jaw crushers. The machines are powered by the mains electrical supply or an on board generator with all main components being electrically driven. The range includes the J1065S (modular, static), the J1065M (wheeled) and the J1065T (tracked). The J1065S consists of the J1065 jaw crusher fitted in a modular assembly. With transport dimensions of 12.16m (length) and 2.55m (width) and a weight of 32,000kg, the wheeled J1065M can be transported like a normal trailer. The J1065T tracked crusher weighs in at 30,000kg and features a 3.8m³ hydraulic folding, Hardox lined hopper, a 900mm discharge conveyor and a 600mm fines conveyor. The main conveyor can be raised and lowered hydraulically for rebar clearance and is also fitted with an overband magnet separator. The wheeled and tracked models share a dual power option, meaning they can run off an on-board 220kVa power pack with a Stage V/Tier 5 Deutz engine. The machines all use the J1065 single toggle jaw crusher unit with a feed opening of 1,000 x 650mm. It is driven by a 90kW electric motor. The crusher achieves an output of approximately 200t/h.

New jaw crusher and cone crusher from Kleemann

The jaw crusher ‘Mobicat’ MC 110(i) ‘Evo2’ and the cone crusher ‘Mobicone’ MCO 90(i) Evo2 are tuned to one another with regard to the transport points of the material. The jaw crusher has the exact amount of power to utilise the cone crusher in the second crushing stage. The MC 110 Evo2 can adjust its crushing gap hydraulically by up to 180mm. The MCO 90 Evo2 can cover a gap range of 6mm to 45mm with its new crushing tools. The crushing operation of both plants is optimised automatically by the innovative feed control ‘Continuous Feed System’. The filling level of the crushing chambers is monitored, and when the filling level reaches a height that can be defined in advance, the material feed of the machine is adjusted. At the German Design Awards, the Mobicat MC 110(i) Evo2 received the Gold Award and the Mobicone MCO 90(i) Evo2 received a ‘special mention’. Furthermore, the new plants also received the Good Design Award.

In other news, the operating concept ‘Spective’ has been extended to the mobile impact crushers ‘Mobirex’ MR 110/130(i) Evo2 by ‘Spective Connect’ with process information and reporting being able to be displayed on a smartphone.

 

Sandvik mobile jaw crusher delivered to Brewster Bros

Brewster Bros has taken delivery of a QJ341 mobile jaw crusher for its recycling operation in Livingston, Scotland. It comes with a load control system for the feeder drive and jaw level sensor, and a PLC control system combined with ‘My Fleet’ telematics. The data included with My Fleet, which comes with seven year’s data subscription, enables remote monitoring and, according to Sandvik, minimal operator intervention. Featuring a 1,200mm x 750mm jaw, it has a hydraulically adjustable CSS (closed side setting) and reverse crush function. The model is equipped with an emissions compliant engine. Also, Sandvik mobile crushers and screens have announced the use of hydro treated vegetable oil. Sandvik states that by using this low carbon renewable fuel it is possible to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by up to 90% over the life cycle of the fuel compared to fossil diesel (according to EU Renewable Energy Directive (2009/28/EC)). This can be used as a drop in replacement over diesel, without the need to change the engine or fuel systems.
