Tracked stackers offer high productivity and mobility

HPE Africa’s McCloskey conveyor systems, which comple- ment the range of crushing and screening plants, have been designed for high productivity and easy mobility in many industries. “Benefits of McCloskey stackers include efficient operational costs, reduced material costs per tonne, improved material quality and enhanced safety on site,” states Rasheel Sukdhoe, McCloskey Product Manager at HPE Africa, which is part of the Capital Equipment Group (CEG) of Invicta Holdings Limited. “The TS4080 tracked stackers have been designed with the flexibility and mobility needed to ensure that the stockpil- ing process is as fast and efficient as possible. These units allow operators to stockpile or transfer material directly from mobile crushing and screening plants without incurring the double handling costs of using conventional loaders.” With a 36,5 kW engine as standard, the TS4080 has a belt length of 23,77 m and a width of 1 000 mm. It offers a stockpile capacity of 1 685 m 3 and a production capacity up to 450 tons per hour. It can also be containerised for transport, with minimal setup time, substantially reducing transport costs. With 4 m tracks for enhanced manoeuvrability and stability, the unit comes with many important standard features, including a fuel-efficient hydraulics system, user-friendly hydraulic con- trols, a hydraulically adjustable discharge height up to 11 m and a hydraulically adjustable feed-in height to complement crushing

and screening plants. For added efficiency, it has a fully skirted tail section. The stackers are designed to efficiently handle a variety of materials, including sand and gravel, aggregates, waste materials and coal. HPE Africa’s range of McCloskey equipment – comprising jaw, cone and impact (horizontal and vertical) crushers, trommel and vibrating screeners, stacking conveyors and washing systems – has been designed for easy operation, high efficiency, low main- tenance requirements and extended service life.
