MOBILE WIRE CO. A.W. 1500

Mobile Wire Co. has introduced an affordable wire stripping machine designed to efficiently remove the exterior insulation from wire and cable. One operator using the A.W. 1500 can remove the insulation from up to fifty pounds of copper or aluminum wiring per hour, in wire sizes ranging from 14-gauge to 1-1/2-inch wiring. The machine’s notable features, according to designer Jeff Adkins, are its ease of operation, its rugged construction, and its affordable price tag.

TRAMAC HYDRAULIC BREAKER

Tramac has introduced the V1600 hydraulic breaker, a heavy-weight, variable impact hammer that can be mounted on excavators weighing between 22 and 45 tons. The breaker is designed for heavy concrete demolition, rock breaking, and general excavation.

The attachment’s dual-speed V-technology responds to the hardness of material and adjusts breaker speed and blow energy automatically. Oversize bushings are made of hard bronze and help reduce friction and wear. The attachment also has a sealed accumulator that is guaranteed to hold its charge for a year.

DAEWOO MEGA 160 WHEEL LOADER

Daewoo Heavy Industries America Corp.’s new Mega 160 wheel loader has been designed for smaller, tighter jobs. The unit has a bucket capacity of 2.1 cubic yards and an operating weight of 19,220 pounds. The loader is powered by a Daewoo-built diesel engine that is geared for optimum performance and high fuel efficiency. New features to the loaders include wider visibility with pillarless front windows and larger glass surfaces on the sides.

LABOUNTY MSD 200R-III

LaBounty has released what the company says is the largest, most efficient mobile shear offered. The MSD200R-III features design changes exclusive to the Series III models. The new model has a cutting force of more than 2,000 tons and a reversed cylinder design. The MSD200-III is available in both rotating and non-rotating models.

SWINGER 3000

The four-wheel drive Swinger 3000 offers versatility in a utility size articulated tool carrier/loader. A newly redesigned extreme duty universal tool carrier plate accepts most skid steer attachments. A 25-gpm auxiliary hydraulic circuit and an 80 hp John Deere Powertech diesel engine are also standard equipment. The four-cylinder diesel provides ample power for the auxiliary hydraulic pump and the dependable hydrostatic-over-mechanical two-speed drive system. Swinger 3000 features an oscillating rear axle, which provides frame stability when operating on rough ground or over uneven terrain.

MB500™ MASTERBATCH PELLETIZING SYSTEM

Gala’s new MB500™ Masterbatch Pelletizing System is designed to make easy work of color compounds and masterbatch at pellet rates to 500kg/hr. This system includes Gala’s Spring Loaded Cutter, Touch Screen Electrical Control & Power Panel, and the new MB500™ Tempered Water System.

FLEXCO CONVEYOR BELT PLOW

A new straight-blade, plow-type conveyor belt cleaner from Flexco, the Deflector™ Diagonal Belt low, can prevent lumps, fines and debris from jamming between the belt and tail pulley. Available in two models, for single direction and reversing belts, the Diagonal Plow installs in a fixed position to eliminate bouncing problems sometimes found in some floating-style plows. Oriented at a 45-degree angle across the belt’s bottom cover on the return side of the belt in front of the tail pulley, the straight-blade design can help discharge of materials be to a predetermined side of the belt for easier clean-up. The Deflector Diagonal Belt Plow is available in three sizes to accommodate belts from 18 inches to 60 inches wide. The reversing-belt model is also offered in extra-large sizes for widths of 72, 84 and 96 inches.

PUMPEX K-83 SUBMERSIBLE WASTEWATER PUMP

The new K-83 submersible wastewater pump, manufactured by Pumpex, Inc., offers the reliability and durability of a higher powered pump in a 6HP alternative specifically designed for cost-efficient operation in a low flow, high pressure system. The Pumpex K-83 provides non-clogging performance and needs only routine, scheduled maintenance during its life cycle, making it less costly to own than the “grinder” pumps it can replace.

BANDIT MODEL 1890 DRUM BANDIT

The redesigned Bandit Model 1890 Drum Bandit has increased throwing velocity while eliminating all blow-back from the infeed sprout that is often common with hydraulic feed, drum style chippers. A revamping of the discharge transition and the addition of a power slot chipper housing are help with this problem. These improvements greatly reduce the chances of plugging.

The easy climb spring tension system is now standard on the 12-inch and 18-inch units and provides little down pressure until a load presents itself. The 1890 is also equipped with thicker knives at 5-1/3 inches wide. The knives last longer, according to Bandit.

MATTEC CORP. TOUCH SCREEN CONTROLS

Mattec Corp. has added touch screen controls to its Machine Interface Unit (MIU) to make the machine easier to use, the company says. The touch-screen design is based on Mattec’s strategy to develop systems based on users’ needs and recommendations.

The touch screen (TS) MIU is Mattec’s newest addition to its growing line of ProHelp® Millenium complete shop floor control systems. MIUs collect data from sensors on a processing machine or directly from a machine’s programmable logic controller (PLC) and then deliver the information to the ProHelp host computer.

NOVATEC BLENDER CONTROL

A new blender control from Novatec automatically adjusts the amount of additives in each batch to assure precise metering based on the amount of virgin material loaded into the mix. This feature is available on Novatec NovaBlend 600 and 1200 Gravimetric Blenders and BBS Weigh Blenders using the MCB-650 control. The controller automatically recomputes the values for color and/or additives based on the actual weight of the virgin/regrind material. The controller also displays material measurements in two thousandths of a pound.

KOMATSU MOBILE CRUSHER

Komatsu America International Co. has introduced the BR500JG-1A mobile crusher. The 126,000-pound crusher is designed for severe crushing applications and is suitable for highway construction, quarry and excavation applications. The unit is equipped with a double hydraulic motor design, and the motors help with durability of the drive system and offer balance for efficient crushing.

The machine also features two-stage grizzly feeder fitted with a low front part that improves stone sorting and the feeder can be turned on and off by remote control and is equipped with an emergency stop function. The BR500JG-1A can also be disassembled in half a day.
