Mobile conveyors can eliminate the double handling of material in a number of cases track stockpile is a fit If an operator wishes to run a constant feed of material yet retain the ability to track parallel to a barge then a conveyor with 360 degree slew functionality would provide the flexibility required In addition the manner in which operators wish to power their conveyors varies owing to application and material being transferred Other determining factors may include the availability of diesel or electricity the current power source being used the ability of the customers service staff throughput required and the operators past experiences The biggest advantage of a diesel hydraulic driven conveyor is that it can be operated in remote locations because its self contained with only fuel being required Diesel hydraulic powered units tend to be simpler to service than electric driven counterparts Yet the advantages of electric powered equipment over d iesel models extend well beyond the obvious savings on diesel fuel with significant savings on operating and maintenance costs They also provide dependability and uptime P Q Adrian Donnelly is marketing manager at Edge Innovate The EvoWash sand washing plant offers unrivalled control of silt cut points eliminating loss of quality fines to your settling ponds or water treatment phase Maximum dewatering Maximum wear resistance In specification sands cdeglobal com @ cdeglobal CDE Global be the ideal product for the creation of radial stockpiles The mobile stockpiler gives the operator the added advantage of a radial stockpile function These must be towed by another self propelled vehicle on site Another solution is to combine both formats into one unit A radial track stockpiler encompasses a track unit with radial stockpile functionality ADDITIONAL CONSIDERATIONS Operators must also consider other factors such as loading methods and applications If the conveyor were to be loaded directly by an excavator or wheel loader then a feed conveyor would best suit this application If an operator wishes to load directly with a wheel loader on all three sides of the hopper but does not want the extra cost of constructing ramps then a low feed pitandquarry com October 2017 PIT QUARRY S17
