Powerscreen improves range

Powerscreen International has introduced a new line of machines that builds on the strengths of its proven existing range.

01 November 2006

Powerscreen International Distribution continues to dominate the international market for dry screening, washing and recycling plant and equipment with the development and launch of yet another innovative series of new machines.

“The highly successful Warrior range gets two new additions with several user benefits, based on existing site-proven models while the existing washing range has also been enlarged with the launch of two new Chieftain Rinsers,” says Rosemary McNicholl, spokesperson for the company.
“The company’s recycling and reclamation programme has grown stronger with the introduction of the Phoenix 2100 Trommel and the new Powershredder 2400 has taken waste minimisation shredding equipment to new heights in large volume applications,” she adds.

Flexible range
The Warrior 1400 model has a new option making it an even more flexible screening product. Adjustments can be made on site in approximately only two hours to refit the Warrior conveyors so that the midsize and oversize materials can be combined onto the oversize conveyor, which is ideal when both are required to feed into a crusher.
The Powerscreen Warrior 1800 Radial has a new radial feature option. The new radial fines conveyor is an enhanced version of the popular Warrior 1800, with the added benefit of increased stockpiling capacity with a 180-degree swivelling fines conveyor.
The machine is built for tough, high-capacity tasks and it is equally at home processing crushed stone, sand, gravel, topsoil, coal or construction, demolition and building waste.
“One of the most versatile screening machines on the market today, the Warrior 1800 Radial has a highly aggressive screen box that is able to operate with finger screens, woven mesh or punch plate on both top and bottom decks – the top deck can also operate with Bofor bar. The screen angle is hydraulically adjustable and the bottom deck options include “Z” meshes, square elongated meshes, speed-harp, flexi-harps and self-cleaning balldeck screen,” adds McNicholl.
The machine is capable of screening, three-way splitting and stockpiling and, typically, can be set up ready for operation within 15 to 20 minutes of arrival on site. Output can be up to 500 tonnes per hour, depending on materials being processed and screen choice.
The Warrior 1400 and 1800 have horizontal feeders and the additional feature of a lift-up screen box to allow easy mesh change, collection belt change and cleaning bottom deck mesh in sticky applications.

Chieftain Rinser
The Chieftain 1400 Rinser has numerous innovative features for the efficient screening, washing and stockpiling of quarried or secondary aggregates and is equally at home in quarrying and recycling applications.
A patented four-bearing screen-box, hydraulically folding and on-board side conveyors, hydraulic screen-angle adjustment and a radio-controlled tipping grid make this plant extremely productive and user friendly, she says.
Furthermore, its mobility means that relocation is fast and easy and infinitely variable conveyor belt speeds ensure optimum material feed and discharge with excellent stockpiling capacities.
Tracked and wheeled versions are available and optional extras include single or double-deck vibrating grizzly, hydraulic screen tensioning, radio-controlled travel and two variations in hopper size. The wheeled version is also offered with diesel hydraulic or electric drive.
The new Chieftain 2100 Triple Deck Rinser is also new to the Powerscreen washing range and is a track-mounted, fully mobile washing screen, complete with on-board side conveyors. A high-capacity machine featuring a 6 m into 1.55 m triple deck screen unit for optimum efficiency in screening the “raw” materials. The Chieftain 2100 has heavy-duty, low ground pressure crawler tracks and there is an optional tri-axle bogie system that allows the tracked version to be transported without the need for a low loader. The design and construction provides maximum access for easy maintenance and serviceability, whilst operational efficiency and mobility make the Chieftain 2100 a truly versatile screening unit for large-scale applications. In its new generation configuration, a further 1.6m has been added to the side conveyors, allowing for higher stockpiles and producing up to six end products.
Designed to work with the entire Powerscreen range of washing equipment both new Chieftain Rinsers can work independently or as part of an entire wash plant. By replacing the slurry catchbox with a standard tail conveyor the Chieftain 1400 and 2100 can easily convert to dry screening mode. Chieftain Rinsers are highly versatile units offering the flexibility of both rinsing and dry screening applications within one self contained mobile machine.

Powershredder & Phoenix
The brand new tracked Powershredder 2400 is the largest in its range and features a number of different tools and shaft configurations for the efficient and high-volume reduction of household, construction and demolition, building and green waste, timber, plastics, forestry, sawmill waste and skip waste.
Elaborating on these new recycling machines, McNicholl says that they have low dust and noise emission levels when in operation with a small “footprint” for their high throughput. In addition, the crawler undercarriage makes them highly mobile on site. Automatic and fixed reverse shafts – with shredding tools that are welded on to provide low wear-and-tear, a long shredding life and low maintenance – produce optimum processing of the widest possible range of materials.
A state-of-the-art control panel allows the user to select five pre-set programmes to suit different waste streams and also allow the user to select their own program to suit their application. A generously proportioned low-loading feed-in tipping hopper, with a 6.35 cu m capacity, allows the shredder to be fed by conveyor, excavator with grab or loading shovel. The hydraulically folding 1,400 mm wide discharge conveyor, with chevron belting, has a discharge height of 4 m for good stockpiling capacity, loading directly into tippers or direct feed into a secondary separating processor such as a trommel. The conveyor is also hydraulically angle adjustable between 15 and 34 degrees.
The Powershredder 2400 is equipped with remote control for safe distance operation. Optional extras include hopper extensions and three different types of breaker bars that can be installed below the shafts for further size reduction of waste materials. A hydraulically angle-adjustable over-band magnet to remove metals is also optional.
The Phoenix 2100 is the latest recycling plant to be added to what is arguably the largest range of trommels available on the market today. It is designed and built for high-volume processing of topsoil and wood chip, recycling and composting applications and is equipped with a 180-degree swivelling, remote control, angle adjustable radial conveyor for significantly increasing stockpile volumes. The new machine has a four-wheel friction drive system and reversible operation to rock the drum for easy blockage clearance. The 6.45 m into 1.94 m rotating screen drums have screen-angle adjustment between four and seven degrees with variable speed control up to 24 rpm and there is also a hydraulically adjustable machine working angle. Options include triple axle, remote control tipping grid, single or twin-deck vibrating grids and the trommel drum that can be easily changed for punch-plate screens.
Powerscreen International celebrates 40 years as global brand leader this year since it launched mobile screening in 1966. The company, which was acquired by the Terex group – considered to be the third largest construction equipment manufacturer in the world – in 1999, continues to be the worldwide market leader for mobile screening, washing and recycling equipment.
