Best of Powerscreen at Hillhead expo

01 June 2016

Powerscreen, a leading provider of mobile crushing and screening equipment, will be at Hillhead 2016 showcasing new and revamped equipment with live demonstrations. The participation coincides with its 50th anniversary.

The premier event for the quarrying, construction and recycling industries, Hillhead will be held this month (June 28 to 30) in Buxton, UK.

Visitors to the demonstration area will see three machines in action: The new-generation Powerscreen Premiertrak 400 jaw crusher will work independently, while the Trakpactor 550 impact crusher will feed the Chieftain 2200 three-deck screen.

Powerscreen will also showcase an array of existing and newly released products, including the Warrior 600 screen, Warrior 2100 screen, Premiertrak 300 jaw crusher, Premiertrak 600 pre-screen and an 1150 Maxtrak cone crusher.

“Powerscreen has been providing the crushing and screening industry with high quality, innovative products for 50 years and we are excited to celebrate that success with those who matter – our distributors and customers,” comments Colin Clements, global product line director.

Powerscreen will also be displaying the modular screenbox system for the Warrior 2100. “With typical mobile screens, the screen box is a fixed component in the machine. The Warrior 2100 has turned that on its head by offering a choice of three screenboxes that can be interchanged as needed. This opens the machine up to an unprecedented number of applications. Each screenbox will be on display at Hillhead, as well as a comprehensive display of screen media available across the Powerscreen range,” he explains.

• Premiertrak 400: This jaw crusher has been redesigned to run at a low engine rpm (revolutions per minute), resulting in excellent fuel efficiency and low noise emissions, resulting in a lower cost per tonne, making it ideal for urban sites, Clements explains.

• Trakpactor 550: Coupled with a sleek and modern appearance, this horizontal impact crusher is set to dominate in the mid- to large-range class. From the feeder right through to the product conveyor, the Trakpactor 550 has been designed to promote an easy and effective flow of material to minimise any potential material build-up and thereby ensure maximum uptime.

• Chieftain 2200: This Powerscreen triple deck is designed for operators who require large volumes of high-specification products with maximum versatility. Clements points out that it has a revolutionary patent pending drive system which allows switching between two and four bearing with bolt-on parts. The Chieftain 2200 can screen with a 20-per-cent increase in ‘G’ compared to similar screens with the same surface area. Its two highly versatile, triple deck screenboxes provide a total screening area of 19.5 sq m.

• Warrior 600: Claimed to be the most compact heavy-duty mobile screen, this unit is said to make the Warrior range the widest in the market with six machines of varying sizes to meet a variety of customer requirements. Easy to transport, the Warrior 600 is highly versatile with its ground-breaking simple conversion from three-way to two-way split mode. It also features a highly aggressive 2.4 by 1.2 m screenbox capable of 6 g of acceleration.

• Warrior 2100: The most versatile Powerscreen screen yet, the Warrior 2100 has three interchangeable screenboxes which open it up to an unparalleled number of applications, remarks Clements. The screen features triple shaft technology, unique to Powerscreen heavy-duty mobile screens, which is designed so the 4.8 m by 1.5 m screen box is highly effective and efficient while maintaining exceptional throughput productivity. It is designed with economy in mind, with reduced fuel consumption being offered through a lower engine running speed of 1,800 rpm and enhanced hydraulics.

• Premiertrak 300: In this jaw crusher, Powerscreen has resized the engine to offer a reduction in fuel consumption, with a lower cost per tonne. The chamber – one of the highest producing in its class – can produce up to 280 tonnes per hour (tph) of crushed material. The Premiertrak 300 combines the output of some larger machines in compact dimensions to allow access to tighter, more congested city centre sites.

• Premiertrak 600: The diesel-hydraulic and diesel-electric variants of this jaw crusher have been designed and constructed to deliver maximum production and performance with increased uptime and low running costs. The high-capacity jaw is fed by a vibrating grizzly feeder with variable speed control and a large grizzly area to maximise removal of fine material, enabling maximum wear life of jaw plates within the crusher chamber. With speed and safety in mind, the Premiertrak 600 can be fully set up from ground level thanks to its hydraulic folding and locking hopper system.

• 1150 Maxtrak: Targeted at quarry operators and contractors alike, this cone crusher builds upon the success of the 1000 Maxtrak and 1300 Maxtrak models offering unrivalled performance, production and versatility, says Clements. The crushing action of the 1150 Maxtrak model also delivers the same superb product shaping for which the other Powerscreen cones have become world-renowned, he adds. The machine will be offered in two key configurations: a direct feed model and a pre-screen version.
