Telsmith will introduce The Extra Mile campaign, which honors those who go the extra mile – from Telsmith employees to people within the aggregates and mining industry, and beyond. The heart of this campaign is partnering with The Independence Fund to donate a Track Chair to a severely wounded U.S. Vet- eran from the Houston area who is on the waiting list. This Track Chair will be at the booth and visitors are welcome to stop by to check it out. The Independence Fund helps vet- erans get back outside to enjoy the outdoors through a variety of devices that include all terrain wheelchairs and adaptive bicycles. Many severely wounded veterans have lost the ability to experience activities they previously enjoyed – from hunting and fishing to simply going outside in their backyards. Wounded veterans who use The Independence Fund's all-terrain mobility devices regain the ability to do the things they love, transforming their lives toward a better future. Telsmith supports this program that believes, "we owe it to our veterans to provide the resources they need to move forward and build a strong foundation toward lasting physical and emotional healing in order to reestab- lish their independence." Telsmith believes U.S. Veterans are individuals who have gone the extra mile in their lives, and this is a core value of the Telsmith team. To showcase the Telsmith promise that "The Extra Mile Isn't Extra. It's Included," the team plans to display the T-Series cone crusher hybrid bear- ing, and will have employees on hand to discuss how Telsmith goes the extra mile with their concept to completion services. Telsmith T-Series cone crusher patented hybrid bearing technology provides the ability to crush at lower horsepower from improved lift that helps carry the crushing forces, when compared to roller bearing machines. Engineered to hold up to tough, abrasive aggregate and mining processes, the T-Series cones with hybrid bearings deliver tested productivity, safety and ease of maintenance with maximum uptime. Telsmith, www.telsmith.com Metso is addressing the growing demand for mobile track- mounted crushing plants by commissioning a new, faster assembly line at its Tampere, Finland, factory. The assembly of a 50-ton, track-mounted crushing plant now takes two working days. The serial production line operates in two shifts and increases Metso's mobile crushing plant produc- tion capacity by 25 percent. "Demand for mobile Lokotrack crushers for aggregates took an upward turn 18 months ago, so the timing of our investment in capacity growth was right. We want to ensure that our production capacity can meet customers' growing needs," said Markku Simula, president, Aggregates Equip- ment business area at Metso. "Quality of Metso engineering has an excellent reputation around the world. This has helped Tampere become a global technology hub for Metso's track- mounted crushers." The new high-speed assembly line has six assembly sta- tions instead of the previous five, thus improving the line's flexibility and shortening the overall assembly time. Cur- rently, the line is used for assembling the most popular crusher models. Assembly of also heavier and more complex models will begin in spring.
