Both machines on display were manufactured at the Terex facility in Hosur, Southern Bangalore reinforcing the Powerscreen commitment to the development of the local economy and infrastructure. On display were the following machines:


Powerscreen® 1000SR

The 1000SR mobile plant combines the high performance of the popular tracked 1000 Maxtrak with a double deck sizing screen and a re-circulating system, all on one single tracked chassis. This configuration enables customers to take advantage of the site-proven benefits of the Automax ® cone crusher incorporated into a closed circuit screening plant, thereby eliminating the need for separate screening. This versatile, mobile plant is ideally suited for secondary and tertiary applications in quarrying, where high quality, low flake, single size aggregate and sub-base materials are required.

The 1000SR accepts an "all-in" clean feed and produces high throughput, excellent reduction and product shape, whilst allowing operators to recirculate oversize from the screen, or to stockpile it, if required. In addition, the plant is also able to produce two further screened product sizes when an optional stockpiling conveyor is added. Other benefits include quick set-up time and excellent product shape characteristics.


Powerscreen® Metrotrak

The Metrotrak is a compact, high performance track mobile jaw crushing plant featuring the "M" series single toggle jaw crusher. With an aggressive crushing action and a high output even at tight settings, the Metrotrak is ideally suited for small to medium sized operators in the mining, quarrying and recycling industries. The Metrotrak has an ouput of up to 175 tph and features a vibrating grizzly feeder that has a heavy-duty mechanical vibrating unit with twin cast eccentric shafts. Finger bars and underscreen allow grizzly fines to be directed on to the main product or optional side conveyor by fitting a blanking mat or wire meshes with a choice of apertures. Variable speed control allows smooth and continuous materials feed. The integral product conveyor is 800mm wide and the discharge height is 2.9 metres. The heavy-duty crawler track undercarriage, fully skirted conveyor and remote control ensure that the plant can be set up very quickly and easily moved on site. Dust suppression sprays are fitted as standard and among the options available are: Side/dirt conveyor; radio remote control; and magnetic overband separator.


Both machines were sold to Powerscreen distributor Voltas.
