Komatsu D39EX/PX-21 Dozers

The D39EX/PX-21 from Komatsu America International Co., Vernon Hills, Ill., includes Komstat—its new dozer technology. Features of the new technology include the ability to cut across slopes, to work in tight conditions and to turn easily. The hydrostatic system features:

• Easy turning by having power distributed to both tracks without power interruption on the inside track.

• Easy side cutting with a side-loading blade that allows for straight travel

• Cross steering is eliminated on downhill slopes as the joystick provides similar steering response on hills as on flat ground

• Grading is done with less damage to the ground because the inside track is not locked during turning.Visit www.komatsuutility.com  or call 866-513-5778 for more information.DEISTER BHST HIGH-SPEED VIBRATING SCREEN

The BHST high-speed vibrating screen made by Deister Machine Co. Inc., Fort Wayne, Ind., delivers optimum separation of fine materials. Highlights of the machine’s abilities include:

• Increased inclination (typically 30 degrees) boosts the particle travel rate, reducing the bed depth, while a higher-than-conventional speed and stroke create maximum G-forces that quickly stratify material for effective screening.

• Using either end-tensioned screen cloth or a modular urethane deck helps eliminate possible blinding during high-frequency applications. Either screening medium eliminates the channeling of fines to the sides resulting in uniform bed depth and maximum screening efficiency.

• A unique "slingermist" lubricating system makes it possible for Deister screens to operate at higher speeds and at lower operating temperatures.

• Available in a range of sizes.Visit www.deistermachine.com  or call 260-426-7495 for more information.
