Cross conveyors recirculate both decks on the CRH1111R to increase plant efficiency and a 5 ft x 16 ft screen operates at a 20 degree angle to maximize capacity Also of importance Terex MPS demonstrated the CCMs ability to troubleshoot intermittent faults On board diagnostics allow you to identify where theres a problem instead of spending weeks probing and pulling wires to see which one might be loose Sauser says It will tell you right where to go Operators could spend hours if not days focused on a single intermittent fault Sauser has experienced this frustration on more than one occasion Ive gone out on multi plant startups turning screwdrivers and checking every terminal while getting blisters on my hand trying to find that one loose screw he says This eliminates all of that The development of the CCM which stands for common control module was about a seven year journey that intensified over the last two years according to Sauser Terex MPS spent about a year on hard programming and once the CCM concept was fleshed out developers transitioned into hard coding and bench testing We have a very sophisticated bench test to simulate a six plant spread at our office where we can do all kinds of simulations of this failure that failure and different configurations just by flipping switches Sauser says The company put a handful of CCMs in the field last year for trials before transitioning into full production of the CCM this year According to Terex MPS the CCM provides the ability of multi plant automation without the need for a central control Users simply plug each plant together with a small 24 volt interlock control cable No custom programming is required as the system works with any combination sequence or number of plants Its easy to operate Sauser says Everybody talks about how hard it is to train operators everybodys aging It makes it as easy as possible to operate BRAND NEW PLANT The CCM control system wasnt the only technology to debut at Terex MPSs 2018 distributor event The CRH1111R portable impactor and screen plant which features the TI4143 impact crusher and a 5 ft x 16 ft two deck inclined screen was also unveiled Its intended for the recycle market recycled concrete and asphalt Mumm says This is a standalone plant It has an online diesel engine with generator It crushes and screens all in one Weve got enough generator power on board to run stacking conveyors to take the products and stack them into stocking piles The fact that its packaged as a wheeled plant with all electric systems makes it rather unique according to Sauser Its much lower maintenance than similar hydraulic run equipment he says Were able to package it with a much UNLOAD www kpijci com pitandquarry com December 2018 PIT QUARRY 59
