Aggregate Crushing
& Screening Feature
In addition, the option of several PLC automatic stockpiling programmes provides the operator with a versatile, economic and reliable stockpiling system that offers the ability for a radial windrow, incline windrow and radial conical stockpile formations which in all offers a larger stockpiling potential and a radial stockpiling potential of up to 270° for maximum stockpiling. The smart stockpiling system controls the operation of the unit and gathers information and sends it back to the central control station/ remote location. This helps to troubleshoot when issues arise giving the controller operational information and specific status updates. In addition, the optional Telestack telematic system Telecore, offers remote monitoring and support from the factory to enhance performance. This has proven critical, not only in the operational performance but also relating to the general maintenance of the unit. Particularly when labour was restricted, for example during the recent Covid restrictions, the support from the factory was vital in supporting operations through challenging times.
An esteemed customer in the UK recently purchased a TS-42 radial telescopic conveyor to stockpile aggregate/ scalpings @1,000tph after a primary crusher and linking system. The fully galvanised conveyor had a host of environmental features including galvanised dust covers the full length of the outer conveyor, fully sealed transfer point from outer to inner conveyor, side wind plates on the inner with a retractable canvas cover on the inner, a spray bar dust suppression system and dual access walkways for ease of maintenance as well as health and safety benefits. The customised discharge chute also helped eliminate and control dust emissions. This
arrangement of dust management options allowed the operation to satisfy the needs of the local regulations to mitigate potential environmental pollution. In addition the ability to fully control the operation remotely (for example from the central control station) means that the fully automated bulk material handling process enhances equipment efficiency and availability, which ultimately increases productivity and lowers operational cost. The install has proven highly beneficial and the customer has reported a significant improvement on the quality of the finished product. The benefits are also evident in terms of the operational metrics achieving a high throughput as well as a more efficient, more productive and safer bulk materials handling operation. The environmental improvements are also significant.
The Telestack team will be in attendance at the forthcoming ConExpo in Vegas (14-18 March) on the Astec Industries Stand in Central Hall (Booth #C30235) and a meeting to discuss your operational needs can easily be arranged prior to the event by emailing sales@telestack.com.
