The Metso Lokotrack LTG1000 cone crusher. MaxiScalp 600 The Pilot Modular MaxiScalp 600 is a heavy- duty, primary screen with apron feeder and stockpiling conveyors, for the use of removing oversize material to primary crushing stations. The scalper, designed and manufactured entirely in-house, sets new standards for simplicity and operational efficiency. Free from the maintenance demands of tracks and hydraulics and the escalating cost of diesel, the MaxiScalp 600 delivers a mix of high productivity and economical operating costs. The electrically powered machine can be operated via direct connection to the grid or using genset in more remote locations. “It is the first modular scalping unit in the world,” says Scherf. “Scalpers in this form are not unique; there are mobile units, including one from Metso, and we have sold a number of them. What is new, is making this whole concept modular. It takes about two days once it reaches the site to set it up and then it is ready to run. What differentiates this from a mobile machine is that the mobiles are much more compact and do not have the space available that the modular plant does. We can also extend the standard conveyors if required, which is something that you cannot do with a mobile machine. We have already sold the first one to a coal mine.” With a heavy-duty skid-mounted structure, the MaxiScalp can still be transported with relative ease, allowing for changes in location and configuration without the extra cost of tracks and a diesel engine. This translates into reduced capital costs, as well as lower overall maintenance and operating costs of the machine. The MaxiScalp 600 has been designed to accommodate a feed size of up to 600mm and with an output of up to 600 tonnes per NEW EQUIPMENT Pilot Modular GFH560, MC13600 conveyor and Double Deck screen 2412.
