The Twin Disc HP500 wet clutch; when heavy duty crushing calls for heavy duty power.

Going bigger for Hillhead 2018, MIT will be exhibiting with an exciting new stand design, elevating their presence seen over their previous 20 years of attendance at the largest event for anyone in the quarrying, minerals, recycling and heavy construction industry. With an impressive rebrand and an extensive product portfolio, MIT are the driveline suppliers of choice - powering the machinery that drives businesses forward.

On stand C33, MIT will be driving the market forward, displaying the latest in innovative driveline technology, which is set to include the new HP500 Wet Clutch from Twin Disc and the ground-breaking, forward thinking, HTV700 Electric/Hybrid Driveline System designed and manufactured by Transfluid Italy.

Serious in its power delivery, the new HP500 wet clutch from Twin Disc, is a heavy-duty, hydraulically actuated PTO, with an impressive power rating of 500 HP at 1,800 RPM, and is perfectly suited to driving pumps, grinders, crushers, dredgers, chippers, shredders and heavy-duty drilling. Launched in early 2018, this new heavyweight joins the already reliable portfolio of robust PTO’s offered from the engineering excellence that is Twin Disc.

With Hybrid technology being big news within the industry right now, operators looking for a greener future will find the answer in the Transfluid HT700 Electric/Hybrid driveline solution. With up to 1200HP diesel and 200HP electric power allows the user to operate in 3 modes: Electric Propulsion, Engine Propulsion and Booster. In electric mode users can drive at zero emissions, in silence with minimal vibration, whilst switching to engine mode allows the electric machine to act as a generator recharging battery, and booster mode which will deliver operators extra torque by using the electric motor to increase acceleration. Not only does this ground-breaking technology reduce operating costs, but it future proofs a business from ever tightening emissions regulations.
