Material handler

Caterpillar

MATERIAL HANDLERS DELIVER HIGH PERFORMANCE AND LOW OPERATING COSTS

Purpose-built for reliable and efficient operation in waste handling and scrap metal applications, the new Cat MH3026 Material Handler features an advanced electrohydraulic system that optimizes the balance of power and efficiency, improving cycle times. These Next Generation material handlers are powered by the Cat C7.1 engine, capable of operating on up to B20 biodiesel, and provide a choice between Power and Economy modes for optimized fuel economy. The new MH3026 also includes standard Product Link technology which captures critical operating data such as location, hours, fuel usage, productivity, idle time, maintenance alerts, and fault codes, all of which can be remotely accessed and tracked.

Electric-powered trucks

Mack Trucks

LR ELECTRIC CLASS 8 MODELS NOW IN PRODUCTION

The LR Electric model, Mack Trucks’ first fully electric Class 8 vehicle, is now in serial production. Equipped with four NMC (Nickel Manganese Cobalt Oxide) lithium-ion batteries, the LR Electric is charged by a 150kW, SAE J1772-compliant charging system. The batteries provide vehicle propulsion and power for all on-board accessories driven through 12V, 24V, and 600V electric circuits, and a three-mode regenerative braking system helps recapture the energy from the hundreds of stops the vehicle makes each day as a result of increasing payload. The Class 8 LR Electric may be fitted with equipment bodies from numerous manufacturers and features the same ergonomics and visibility as Mack’s diesel-powered LR model.

Portable trommel screen High-speed shredder

Hot ash and biochar cooler and conveyor

Luxme International

ENCLOSED CONVEYING SYSTEM COOLS HOT ASH AND BIOCHAR

Luxme International has launched the THERMOLuxme, an enclosed conveying system that can safely transfer and cool hot ash and biochar materials from 700 degrees F to 110 degrees F in one step. This machine is ideal for incineration and pyrolysis plants processing organic and non-organic waste materials, eliminates the need for a separate chilling stage and can save operators significant equipment and floor space costs. Consisting of a tubular chain conveyor with the addition of jacketed pipes containing water or cooling fluid, the THERMOLuxme not only conveys and cools up to 1,100 cubic feet of hot biomass per hour, but also adheres to the highest safety standards, using an enclosed, sealed pipe assembly that keeps work areas clean and free from dust and gases, and 150 psi of explosion suppression.
