Deister dewatering screens offer a super-duty dewatering solution that delivers cost-efficient processing with deeper beds of material, and at higher tonnages, versus that of conventional dewatering screens. Fine materials will dewater more effectively as the depth of bed of material increases. Due to its super-duty construction, the additional centrifugal force in the Deister dewatering screen  will process more tons per hour, per square foot of screen area – and the deeper bed depth entraps more ultra-fine particles that might otherwise pass the openings. With its declined reverse slope, the dewatering screen forces the formation of a sand “cake” that acts as a filter to trap fines – and as a press to squeeze out free water from the slurry feed – while a 45-degree sloped media section at the feed end allows for the rapid removal of free water off the top of the cake. Deister Dewatering Screens combine the heaviest-duty construction with a time-tested vibrating mechanism to provide super-duty dewatering of feed types that include hydro-cyclone discharge, dredged sand,… Keep Reading

Photo: Eagle Crusher Co. Discover the newly redesigned UltraMax® 1200-OCSS, open circuit secondary system, displayed at AGG1. The plant features Eagle’s UltraMax 25 impactor, able to crush feed material to spec product in the first pass, with its high reduction ratio. The impactor also includes a North America lifetime rotor warranty. The 1200-OCSS has been redesigned to provide greater plant operator flexibility. Operators may choose to screen before crushing, or choose whether top and middle deck material go to the impactor, or the middle deck goes directly to stockpiling so only the oversized material is crushed. Designed to follow any Eagle Crusher primary jaw plant, the 1200-OCSS is a perfect fit as a secondary crusher regardless of the primary crusher used. Learn more.

MAJOR offers FLEX-MAT Modular PLUS, which is specially designed to withstand harsh screening conditions with the most abrasive materials, such as granite and basalt. The advanced screen media includes all the benefits of FLEX-MAT — high open area, efficient stratification, no blinding or pegging, and new and improved wear life comparable to polyurethane screen media. The PLUS series bonds OPTIMUMWIRE® — the industry’s longest-lasting wire — with distinctive lime-green polyurethane strips rather than weaving them. This allows wires to vibrate independently from end to end under material contact. The high frequency of the wires — 8,000 to 10,000 cycles per minute — adds to the vibration of the screen box — 800 to 900 cycles per minute — to speed up material separation and passing. The increased screening action improves material throughput while virtually eliminating pegging on the top decks and blinding and clogging on the bottom decks, resulting in a lower cost of production per ton. The media offers up to five times longer wear life than traditional woven… Keep Reading

CDE have an exclusive offer to swap your sand screw technology for their EvoWash. CDE are so confident with the great output, product and profits this equipment can bring, that they will trade in your screw against a new EvoWash plus they are offering finance* to cover the balance. A compact, modular sand washing system, the EvoWash screens and separates the smaller sand and gravel fractions through an integrated high-frequency dewatering screen, sump and hydrocyclones which provide unrivaled control of silt cut points and eliminate the loss of quality fines with significant commercial value. Protecting revenue by eliminating the need for maintaining settling ponds, the EvoWash can integrate seamlessly into existing operations to reduce site footprint, minimize downtime and, with an increased number of parameters to ensure improved accuracy on the material cut point, remove the double-handling of materials, as high-value fines can often be lost and trapped at the bottom of ponds when processed with the more traditional sand screw.

Montabert Premium Heavy Breakers are designed for all types of carriers, from 18 to 120 tons, and are ideal for a variety of applications, including quarrying, mining, excavation, and demolition. Features and benefits include: Automatic variable-speed technology senses changes in material hardness and adjusts impact energy and striking rate. This increases productivity, based on the application, and reduces blank firing. The technology also reduces unnecessary harmful energy from transferring to the carrier and breaker, helping to prevent wear on parts and components. Energy chamber acts as a hydraulic shock absorber and reduces pressure variations in the hydraulic circuits to provide consistent energy to the breaker — reducing pressure spikes and keeping the charge constant, with no periodic maintenance required. Progressive start system prevents slipping by creating a small recess in the material before full power is applied. Blank-fire protection system reduces damage on all wear parts by providing a cushion of oil that reduces the energy. Automatic lubrication system assures the breaker is constantly lubricated to improve life span on… Keep Reading
