Haver & Boecker Niagara, Germany-based Haver & Boecker’s new mineral processing brand, is now offering the Niagara F-Class Portable Plant, which was on display at ConExpo-Con/Agg in Las Vegas in arch. The circular motion inclined vibrating screen has been designed to allow operations to increase production by 25 percent while making screen media change-outs easier, says the firm.
“We design technology with the success of our customers in mind,” says Karen Thompson, president of Haver & Boecker Niagara’s North America and Australia operations. “The F-Class Portable Plant is putting more money into our customers’ pockets while making their jobs easier.”
A circular motion inclined vibrating screen uses gravity to help move material down the screen deck, reducing pegging as well as energy and horsepower requirements, says the firm. On a 20-degree incline and at a 70 to 75 feet per minute travel rate, an inclined screen will deliver up to 25 percent more capacity than a linear-stroke horizontal machine, according to Haver & Boecker Niagara.
The company cites Alberta, Canada-based trucking and heavy construction company Pidherney’s as an operator who has benefited from using the machine. “The F-Class Portable Plant exceeds expectations,” says Merv Pidherney, the firm’s owner. “I looked at other plants, and they just didn’t meet our needs. I wanted a trouble-free plant and I got it.”
The portable plant is manufactured with six hydraulic run-on jacks to raise and lower the vibrating screen quickly. Producers gain the production benefits of an inclined screen with the maintenance benefits of a horizontal screen, says Haver & Boecker.
The vibrating model also is billed as ideal for tough applications, featuring four-bearing technology. The F-Class Portable Plant can be customized to include a crusher, conveyors or other components.
