1. Addressing Critical Operational Challenges in Sand and Gravel Processing

Managing a profitable sand and gravel operation requires consistent throughput, predictable operating costs, and minimal unplanned downtime. Industry data indicates that material handling and processing inefficiencies can reduce overall plant profitability by 1525%. Are you facing these specific challenges?

Inconsistent Feed Material: Fluctuations in moisture content, clay contamination, and feed size directly impact screening efficiency and crusher performance, leading to bottlenecks and offspec product.
High Wear Part Costs & Downtime: Abrasive sand and gravel rapidly degrade liners, screens, and pump components. Frequent changeouts for crusher wear parts or screen decks halt production for hours.
Inefficient Material Classification: Inaccurate separation of fines from spec product results in wasted saleable material or costly reprocessing to meet gradation requirements.
Excessive Fuel & Power Consumption: Underoptimized crushing circuits and oversized material handling equipment consume more energy per ton than necessary, eroding margin.
Space & Permitting Constraints: Expanding a static plant footprint is often costprohibitive or impossible due to site limitations or permit boundaries.

How do you increase yield while controlling the costperton metric? The solution lies in selecting equipment engineered to address these exact pain points.

2. Product Overview: HighCapacity Mobile Screening Plant for Sand & Gravel

This product is a trackmounted, heavyduty screening plant designed for primary screening, scalping, and stockpiling in sand, gravel, and aggregate applications. It is engineered to handle variable feed conditions while maximizing throughput of spec material.

Operational Workflow:
1. Feed & Scalping: Runofquarry or pitrun material is delivered via excavator or wheel loader onto the integrated heavyduty grid or grizzly feeder.
2. Primary Separation: The aggressive screenbox action separates oversize rock (e.g., +4") onto a bypass conveyor while directing onsize sand and gravel to the main product conveyor.
3. Stockpiling & Circuit Integration: Sized material is stockpiled directly for shipment or conveyed to secondary crushers or washing systems for further processing.

Application Scope: Ideal for virgin aggregate processing, construction & demolition (C&D) recycling where soil/rock separation is needed, and as a primary screen in multistage portable plants.

Limitations: This unit is a screening plant, not a crusher. It requires a separate primary crushing source if processing large quarry rock (>12"). For dedicated fine sand washing (<3/8"), a specialized sand plant may be more appropriate.

3. Core Features: Engineered for Durability & Output

Patented Screenbox Design | Technical Basis: Highenergy, linear vibration with adjustable amplitude | Operational Benefit: Prevents blinding in damp or sticky material conditions; maintains high screening efficiency even with high clay content | ROI Impact: Reduces downtime for manual screen cleaning by up to 80% and increases usable product yield.

HeavyDuty Feeder with Grizzly Section | Technical Basis: Stepped grizzly bars with hydraulic variable speed control | Operational Benefit: Removes oversize debris before the screen deck, protecting belts and reducing wear; allows operators to match feed rate to material density | ROI Impact: Extends screen cloth life by an average of 35% and optimizes fuel consumption through controlled loading.

Unified Hydraulic System with PLC Control | Technical Basis: Single Caterpillar® C9 or equivalent Tier 4 Final engine powering all hydraulic functions through a centralized manifold | Operational Benefit: Simplifies maintenance with fewer components; provides precise control over feeder speed, conveyor hydraulics, and track drives from one operator station | ROI Impact: Lowers total cost of ownership through reduced service complexity; field data shows a 25% reduction in hydraulic system service time.

Radial Stockpiling Conveyor | Technical Basis: Hydraulically folding main conveyor with 180degree radial movement | Operational Benefit: Enables the creation of large capacity stockpiles without requiring machine repositioning; improves site logistics | ROI Impact: Reduces cycle time for support equipment (loaders) by approximately 20%, lowering overall fleet fuel consumption.

QuickChange Screen Media System | Technical Basis: Tensioned rubber mount system with side tensioning rails | Operational Benefit: Allows a twoperson crew to change an entire deck of screen cloths in under one hour without specialized tools | ROI Impact: Minimizes production loss during media changes; directly addresses high labor cost associated with prolonged downtime.
