The ALLU Screener Crusher D-series is divided into two main categories: screening and crushing and fine screening, and it is presenting a “new screening concept for bucket-type fine screening.” The company says that with the totally new screening design, wet materials can also be screened down to a fine fragment size such as 15 or 25mm minus, with high productivity. With the new design vaulting or bridging between the screening discs can be minimised.

Atlas is now offering its own range of hydraulic breakers. These units are offered with operating weights from 135kg--5.7tonnes and can be used on machines right across the firm’s own excavator range. The firm says that its breakers are designed to absorb impact, reducing wear and tear on the carrier and absorbing vibration, lengthening hose life. A system regulates the number of blows to keep working frequency constant under all conditions. A lubrication system extends component life while all the units ca

New wheeled excavators are now available from German company Atlas Maschinen. New cabs, improved hydraulics and Tier 4 Interim/Stage IIIB compliant engines are key features. Stephan Theis director sales and marketing said, “We have a big reduction in noise levels at the operator’s ear.” Key new models for 2013 are the 140W, 150W and 160W wheeled excavators, with the larger 160W now coming to market and the two smaller units available at the end of the year. Theis said that the combination of the new engines

Ammann’s new AVA 250 machine is its first add-on compactor specifically designed for mini-excavators. Described by the Swiss firm as an efficient add-on compactor for use on mini-excavators weighing at least 2tonnes, the AVA 250 can also be used on backhoe loaders. A built-in twin-shaft exciter is said by Ammann to give the AVA 250 maximum directed compaction energy. With a working weight of 180kg and a centrifugal force of 20kN, the AVA 250 is said to prevent any vibration transfer to the loader’s boom.

Hatz will be showcasing its new line-up of C-series clear and trash water industrial pumps. The line-up ranges from small and lightweight one-cylinder Hatz diesel engine-powered trash water pumps with a capacity of 20 m³/h, up to clear water pumps with a capacity of 830 m³/h powered by a powerful four-cylinder diesel engine. The C-series pumps can, among a host of options, be equipped with a trolley, closed tubular frame or base frame.

Hydraulic breaker manufacturer Montabert is launching a new medium range breaker for applications in demolition, roadbuilding, utilities and trenching. Weighting 730kg and working with a maximum input power of 33kW, it is said to offer exceptional power to weight ratio and is made for excavators from 8-18tonnes. The breaker features a completely new design with fewer parts and without tie rods, and provides a frequency of 870 blows/minute and can be used with excavators providing a flow range of 80-140litre

Aimed at the 14tonne and 16tonne classes, the new Doosan DX140W-3 and DX160W-3 wheeled excavators are said to offer major performance gains over the models being replaced. As with the firm’s new crawler excavators, new cabs provide a more comfortable working environment, with improved controls and ergonomics and in-cab noise levels that are reduced by 5dBA. Both machines are powered by the proven Doosan DL06KB diesel, which delivers a 2% increase in power to 102kW and a 12% increase in torque over the previ
