70 • ROCK products • March 2018 www.rockproducts.com EQUIPMENT & TECHNOLOGY SCREENING & SIZING Victaulic launched its new Series 906 Knife Gate Valve (906 KGV), the industry's first in-line maintenance KGV for HDPE pipe. The new valve simplifies installation and maintenance, reduces downtime and improves worker safety. The 906 KGV for HDPE Pipe is ideal for fluid lines containing solids or abrasive materials common in mining, wastewater treatment, power generation, and other industrial settings with applications such as slurry and tailings lines or cyclones. "For years, workers had to endure the labor-inten - sive process of removing the entire valve from the pipeline service to facilitate maintenance, rebuild and repair, but our new 906 KGV can be maintained in-line without having to disconnect the valve from a piping system to address worn parts," said Jane Zhang, product manager at Victaulic. "With this product, we are proud to demonstrate Victaulic's constant expansion of innovative Refuse-to-Fuse technolo- gies that solve the most complex piping challenges across industries." The new valve also improves worker safety because only one component has to be replaced versus removing the entire valve from the pipeline. This first-of-its-kind, revolutionary design eliminates the need for rigging with heavy chains and pulleys swinging over the heads of maintenance crews. "The 906 KGV is an advanced technology that encloses all wear parts into a single seat cartridge kit, which reduces maintenance downtime by up to 95 percent and generates up to 60 percent savings in annual maintenance costs," said Mike Prince, product engineer at Victaulic. "Both durable and highly resistant, we have witnessed our KGVs lasting more than five times longer than alternative products cur- rently on the market." The design allows the valve to remain installed through ongo- ing maintenance cycles. The Victaulic Series 906 KGV joins plain end HDPE pipe. It is available in sizes 3 to 8 in. and rated to 150 psi/1034 kPa/10 bar, or the maximum rating of the HDPE pipe, whichever is lower. Additional features include: • Installation-ready integrated coupling design. • A self-clearing seat that eliminates debris pushing to the floor. • Unidirectional polyurethane seat that is highly resistant to abrasive wear. • Flush port in lower housing for easy valve cleaning. Victaulic, www.victaulicknifegate.com Victaulic Introduces In-Line Maintenance Knife Gate Valve Deister Machine Co.'s EMCO 360 Crusher Optimizer Feeder is the latest addition to its line of electromechani- cal vibrating feeders. The EMCO 360 Crusher Optimizer Feeder is specifically engineered to optimize cone crusher performance. Featuring a 360-degree discharge opening, the unit distributes a homo- geneous feed to cone crushers, keeping cones choke-fed for optimum efficiency, product consistency and improved pro- duction rates. Available in a wide range of sizes and capacities, the Deister EMCO 360 Crusher Optimizer Feeder Series is backed with 24/7 parts and service support; stocked American-made parts; and a global network of dealers. The Deister BHM-3824-03T is a three-deck, 8- x 24-ft. washing screen with a triple-shaft vibrating mech- anism. Inclined screens with the mechanism located between the decks offer the most economical combination of capacity and mechanical simplicity, according to the company. The EMF-Series two-mass electrome- chanical vibrating feeder is designed to allow greater control over high-ca- pacity feed rates and productivity, while lowering costs per ton in a wide vari- ety of aggregate, mining and mineral applications. Engineered to deliver greater reliabil- ity and ease of maintenance, the Deister EMF Series features a machine weight that is more robust. Units incorporate a high-profile infeed lip; and a heavy- duty formed deck with replaceable liners. A simplified drive is designed with an easy-access exciter frame, which houses the single vibrator motor. This results in higher bearing life, and eliminates the need to replace belts. Additionally, units feature ener- gy-efficient pre-compressed steel transmission springs, which are not susceptible to temperature or shelf life; and heavy-duty spring isolation assemblies for suspension or support mounting. Deister offers expedited deliveries of one- to two-weeks on stock models. Deister Machine Co., www.deistermachine.com Deister Feeder Engineered to Optimize Cone Crusher Performance
