MAKE NEW BASE FROM OLD CONCRETE

THE EQUIPMENT USED TO FORM THE NEW BASE CONSISTS OF TWO CAT-980 WHEEL LOADERS WHICH FEED BROKEN RUBBLE TO A UNIVERSAL 30 X 42 DOUBLE-JAW CRUSHER WHICH WITH ITS HOPPER, MAKES UP THE FIRST OF TWO PORTABLE UNITS. THE MINUS 8-IN. RESULT GOES FROM THERE TO THE SECOND PORTABLE, CONSISTING OF A DOUBLE-DECK 5 X 16 FT SCREEN MOUNTED AHEAD OF A 4-FT. CRUSHER. THE CLOSED CIRCUIT OPERATION FEEDS MATERIAL THROUGH THE SCREEN UNTIL IT PASSES THROUGH THE TOP DECK; THE OVERSIZE FROM THE SECOND SCREEN GOES TO ONE PILE, THE UNDERS TO ANOTHER. THE 75-FT. RADIAL STACKER HAS BELT SCALES SO THAT ACTUAL WEIGHT OF THE MATERIAL CAN BE OBTAINED WITHIN HALF OF A PERCENT MARGIN.
