Pilot Crushtec’s MaxiScalp 600 is the industry’s first modular scalping plant.
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's the first modular scalping unit in the
world,” says Sandro Scherf, CEO of Pilot
Crushtec. “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’s ready to run. What differentiates this
from a mobile machine is that the mobiles
are much more compact and don’t have the
space available that the modular plant does.
