2. Rock Processing: a wide variety of screens and crushers are used to process material into single-size or graded products
3. Recycling: well over 1,000 tonnes of waste material is sorted, crushed, shredded, screened, and stockpiled into reusable aggregate or waste material.

Industries covered

Quarrying, Mining, Recycling, Heavy Construction, Materials Handling, Concrete, Asphalt, Road-Surfacing, Civil Engineering, Plant Hire, Demolition and Landfill.

A part of Terex, one of the world’s largest Construction Equipment Manufacturers, Powerscreen combine industry experience and engineering know-how to provides the solution to any screening, recycling, washing or materials processing problem.

Powerscreen is the world leader in Mobile Screening. Powerscreen mobile screens are using in a variety of global industries from Mining, Quarrying and aggregate extraction to recycling and waste management.

Powerscreen have been providing equipment since 1966 and have kept ahead through market leading innovations, customer driven Research & Development, strengthen Quality management and enviable global after sales support.

Dry screening is the separation of material into different sized products. The maretial is separated by passing it through a vibrating ‘Screen Box’ which has a number of different-sized screens or meshes – which the material falls through like a sieve. The material falls on to attached conveyers stockpile the end products. The end products can be used in the Building and Construction Industries.

• Face Blasted Stone
• Crushed Stone
• Construction & Demolition Waste
• Muck Away
• Coal
• Compost
• Top Soil
• Sand & Gravel

DUNGANNON, NORTHERN IRELAND, 21st January 2010 - Powerscreen, one of the world’s leading providers of mobile crushing and screening equipment, has launched the new Powerscreen® Warrior 2400 as part of its new product development programme.

“The Warrior 2400 builds on the global success of the Warrior 1400 and Warrior 1800, representing the next step in the evolution of heavy duty track mobile screeners. With the Warrior 2400, Powerscreen extends our range of heavy duty screeners, to meet the needs of larger end users and operators in the quarrying, mining and recycling sectors,” said Pat Brian, Powerscreen Global Director of Sales.

The Powerscreen® Warrior 2400 is a multi-purpose unit, capable of handling large feed sizes while remaining convenient to move and transport. It features a heavy duty incline screen with a high amplitude triple shaft drive mechanism, lending itself to screening, scalping, 2 or 3 way splitting and stockpiling materials like aggregates, topsoil, coal, construction, demolition waste and iron ore. The screen will accept a wide variety of media making it suitable for many applications.

Set-up time and ease of operation are aided by hydraulic folding tail and side conveyors, 2-speed tracks, a slide-out tail conveyor facility to aid media access and load sensing collection conveyor circuit to avoid blockages. Its simple-to-use electrical control system allows operators to monitor and diagnose the machine on site via an LCD display without specialist tools. The Warrior 2400 will also be offered with optional dual power.

The Warrior 2400 will be exhibited at the BAUMA exhibition in Munich in 2010 at stand F704/705.

OUTSTANDING PERFORMANCE FROM THE NEW POWERSCREEN® PEGSON XA750 DUNGANNON, NORTHERN IRELAND, 10 June 2010 - Powerscreen, one of the world’s leading providers of mobile crushing, screening and washing equipment, has launched the Powerscreen® Pegson XA750 offering customers greater jaw crushing productivity at up to 750tph (827 US tph)

The Powerscreen® Pegson XA750 is one of the most technologically advanced and efficient jaw crushing plants on the market; it sets the standard for next generation heavy duty track mobile jaw crushers. Pat Brian, Powerscreen Global Sales and Marketing Director said “The Pegson XA750 has been designed to ensure that large scale end users and operators experience unmatched performance, reliability and productivity in the toughest of applications."

The Pegson XA750 is fitted with a hydraulically driven pan feeder and live pre-screening unit, complete with a bolt-in cartridge style grizzly section, to remove fines and sizes prior to crushing, avoiding packing and unnecessary manganese wear. Pre-screened material can be stockpiled via an optional dirt conveyor, or re-directed via the by-pass chute onto the main product conveyor.

An unrestricted feed opening of 1400mm x 800mm (55”x 32”) prevents bridging and maintains a consistent feed to the powerful Terex WJ55 single toggle jaw crusher, which features a hydraulic closed side setting (CSS) adjustment system that can be changed at the touch of a button for maximum control of product sizing.

Powering the Pegson XA750 is the latest generation 288kW diesel engine which uses a direct drive system to achieve superior power transmission and fuel efficiency versus hydrostatic systems. Engine power is transmitted to the crusher via a robust, self adjusting dry plate clutch with self regulation “push button” auto start up sequence and v-belt drive.

User benefits include a hydraulically adjustable product conveyor with a 4m (13’ 1”) discharge height, a modular hopper that can be removed for transport and two speed tracks for maximum site mobility. The product conveyor can be raised and lowered hydraulically during operation and for transport and maintenance purposes. Maintenance downtime is reduced thanks to a hydraulic draw back rod retention system and unrivalled under crusher access. The plant weighs 72,000kgs (159,000 lbs), including magnet and dirt conveyor.
