Wirtgen launches Kleemann Mobiscreen MS 703 EVO capacity of 350 tonnes per hour, the MS 703 EVO comes with either diesel- hydraulic or diesel-electric drive, as well as a large number of screening media to achieve a variety of final grain sizes and to take different feed material. The plant’s large feed hopper can readily accept feeding by means of a wheel loader or excavator, or directly from a crushing plant. The built-in peripheral platform ensures easy access for maintenance and screen media changing. Various mesh shapes and dimensions are available, including square, rectangular and harp, depending on the required application. Wirtgen SA, local subsidiary of the Wirtgen Group, launched the Kleemann Mobiscreen MS 703 EVO for the construction and mining sectors to the South African market in June 2017. Developed and designed in Germany, the Kleemann MS 703 EVO is a triple-deck mobile classification screen that precisely screens out almost all types of coarse natural stone, residual construction materials, and iron particulates of up to 150mm by up to four fractions. Measuring in at 1.520m × 4.440m with a 75kW engine and with a feed Wirtgen SA launched the Kleemann Mobiscreen MS 703 EVO for the construction and mining sectors to the South African market in June 2017. Caterpillar launches new M315D2 and M317D2 wheeled excavators Remote-controlled demolition machine manufacturer Brokk has introduced the C20 Rock Splitter attachment, manufactured by its German sister company, Darda. The C20 Rock Splitter offers contractors a safe and quiet alternative to explosives and hydraulic breakers, and increases productivity in the mining, quarrying, tunnelling, construction, and demolition industries. The C20 Rock Splitter comes in four models — two vertical options ranging from 163cm to 183cm long, as well as two horizontal options, from 179cm to 211cm long — and can be used with Brokk machines ranging in size from the new Brokk 280 (with counterweights) and up. Contractors drill a 7.5cm-diameter hole into the rock with a separate attachment before inserting the splitter, which expands with up to 1 633t of The C20 Rock Splitter offers contractors a safe and force, splitting the rock. quiet alternative to explosives and hydraulic breakers. The new Cat D2 Series models (M315D2 and M317D2) excavators offer a robust fuel-injection system, versatile front-linkage configurations, expanded work-tool capability, and new operator-comfort features. The new Cat M315D2 and M317D2 wheeled excavators offer a more robust fuel-injection system, versatile front-linkage configurations, expanded work- tool capability, and new operator-comfort features. The new Cat C4.4 ACERT engine meets China Nonroad Stage III emission standards, equivalent to US EPA Tier 3/EU Stage IIIA standards, while delivering the same power and fuel economy as predecessor engines. The fuel system is designed to manage worldwide fuel quality, with a water-in- fuel switch that indicates when draining is required, reducing the risk of fuel-system contamination. The excavators can travel independently between job sites at speeds of up to 37km/h, reducing travel time and transportation costs. Service points are centralised for convenience and all daily maintenance can be performed from ground level. Two stick options are available for each model, and a one-piece variable adjustment boom provides easy operation in all applications. Available with a wide range of attachments, the new excavators are equipped with the Cat Product Link system to provide information that assists in effectively managing equipment and associated costs, while the web-based VisionLink application allows for remote monitoring.
