Electrical Service Truck Kit Now Available
Astec Mobile Screens is introducing an electrical service
truck kit that will hold key electrical components for repairs
and replacements on track screens.
These kits will help dealers and end users ensure they have
critical components on hand to limit downtime. Depending
on the kit, items will include Packard/Delphi terminals, MetriPack connectors, 12- or 24-volt relays and fuses, 120 ohm
resistors and strip links.

Updates to Kodiak®
Plus Cone Crusher
Johnson Crushers International has made many
improvements to its Kodiak® Plus Cone Crushers. The crusher
now features a protective door to shield the system from
damage made by material. Bowl sensors have also been moved
to a safer location away from material.
New cone crushers now feature a labyrinth contact seal.
This seal was developed to reduce the amount of contaminates
entering the oil. Field testing concluded dramatically increased
oil filter life.
JCI also introduced a kidney loop kit that may be purchased
and installed on the Kodiak® Plus cone crusher's lubrication
panel.
The kidney loop is a secondary filtration system that pulls
oil from the lubrication reservoir, pushes it through a filter
and sends it back to the tank. With relatively low flow rates
and filter pressure, the kidney loop is less likely to cause filter
bypass. The lower pressures also allow the filter element to
hold more dirt, which in turn extends the life of the main
filter. The kidney loop can run continuously, providing realtime filtration. It can be set up to run an additional four hours
after the crusher is turned off to provide an extra level of lube
oil conditioning.
Crusher systems built after 2014 already contain the kidney
loop kit, as it was part of the new MILO software program. For
older crushers, the kit can be retrofitted, but the new MILO
system must be installed prior to the kit's addition.

Updates to
Track Tugger
The Kolberg-Pioneer track tugger is used to provide in-pit
mobility to a SuperStacker®, saving producers the time that
would be wasted manually moving the conveyor.
The track tugger now features a Tier 4 Final engine for more
powerful function. With the upgraded engine, the tugger has
the ability to run two external conveyors from the unit, action
as a dynamic power source.
