Portable plant increases production by 25 per cent
Haver & Boecker Niagara, Haver & Boecker's new mineral processing brand, offers the Niagara F-Class portable plant. The circular motion inclined vibrating screen allows operations to increase production by 25 per cent while making screen media change-outs easier on an inclined vibrating screen. The company featured this portable plant for the first time during CONEXPO-CON/AGG 2020.

<p>"We design technology with the success of our customers in mind," said Karen Thompson, President of Haver & Boecker Niagara's North America and Australia operations. "The F-Class portable plant is putting more money into our customers" pockets while making their jobs easier." </p>
<p>A circular motion inclined vibrating screen uses gravity to help move material down the screen deck, reducing pegging as well as energy and horsepower requirements. On a 20-degree incline and at 70-75 ft per minute travel rate, an inclined screen will deliver up to 25 per cent more capacity than a linear-stroke horizontal machine. Operations like Alberta-based trucking and heavy construction company, Pidherney's, are consistently reporting production increases of that much or more while using the equipment. "The F-Class portable plant exceeds expectations," said Merv Pidherney, Pidherney's owner. "I looked at other plants and they just didn't meet our needs. I wanted a trouble-free plant and I got </p>
<p>Inclined vibrating screens can make screen media change-outs more difficult and time consuming than on horizontal screens, however. To address this, the portable plant is manufactured with six hydraulic run-on jacks to raise and lower the vibrating screen quickly. Producers gain the production benefits of an inclined screen with the maintenance benefits of a horizontal screen. In addition, plants outfitted with Haver & Boecker Niagara's Ty-Rail? quick-tensioning system can cut screen change-out times in half.</p>
