EDGE Innovate’s TRM831 portable trommel is ideal for the high-capacity screening of various applications including topsoil, compost, sand, household waste and construction and demolition waste.

With a screening area of 57m², the EDGE TRM831 is fitted with a variable speed 2.3- x 9.3-metre-long screening drum, powered via an efficient hydrostatic drive system. Screening efficiency is ensured thanks to a 9.3-metre-long drum with hydraulically adjustable drum cleaning brushes.

Offering the largest hopper capacity in its class, the EDGE TRM831 encompasses a 1,500-millimetre-wide, variable speed feed conveyor complete with load sensing and automatic feeder shut down to ensure maximum uptime. Additional hopper options include a reject grid and a two-deck vibrating screen for the pre-treatment of the feed material.

The EDGE TRM831 is powered via a 188-hp Caterpillar C4.4 Tier 4 Final/STAGE V engine, resulting in extremely low engine and noise emissions. Further fuel savings are made possible thanks to EDGE’s unique Eco-Power Saving Mode, which automatically reduces engine speed to idle when not processing material for a set period.

The TRM831 discharges fines material via a radial fines conveyor with a discharge height of up to six metres. With a 180-degree radial functionality as standard, the radial fines conveyor facilitates the creation of impressive stockpiles and reduces the double handling of material by up to 75 per cent. www.edgeinnovate.com

The re-engineered Martin V-Plow HD achieves gains with no compromise in performance. While the previous welded design’s largest dimensions were 17.5 inches wide x 38 inches long, the new modular design’s widest component is less than eight inches and the longest is approximately 31 inches.

The V-Plow HD prevents tail pulleys from becoming fouled and damaged by spillage traveling on the return side of the conveyor belt. Fugitive material commonly migrates from the cargo side to the return side during normal operation. If this spillage reaches the tail pulley, two things can happen: lumps can get caught between the pulley and the belt, gouging and damaging both the belt and pulley face, or spillage can be crushed by the pressure between the pulley and the belt, adhering to the pulley face and the return side of the belt, causing pulley slippage and fouling of idlers along the system.

Engineered for belts as wide as 120 inches with speeds up to 900 feet per minute, the V-Plow HD redesign has made the equipment modular. The V-Plow HD mounting system and security cable assembly is also safer, longer- lasting and less damaging to the belt than competing units. If the V-Plow HD detaches from one mount, the other mount and safety cables keep it in place, protecting the belt and workers. www.martin-eng.com

Werk-Brau introduces roll-out buckets, which add 24 inches or more to the dump height of wheel loaders. Designed for light materials (2000 lbs/cubic yard or less), this new bucket allows the loading of standard (13-feet, six-inch) trailers without ramps. Tandem cushioned hydraulic cylinders raise the back of the bucket to achieve the higher dump height, completely clearing materials without the need for jarring material loose. A recessed carriage improves the centre of gravity and prevents “tippyness” while placing less stress on loader arms and bucket linkage. Load out “cycle” time is reduced. Visibility slots on the top of the bucket allow the operator a better sightline. Performance side plates enhance material retention, and rubber skirting keeps the bucket clean after every bucket pass. Werk-Brau roll-out buckets are available for all loader sizes, and are ideal for backfilling, loading trucks, re-handling of materials, and more.

Manufactured with high-strength T-1 steel in all critical wear points, with abrasion resistant wear straps to reinforce the bucket bottom. Werk-Brau manufactures all attachments to OEM specifications for all makes and models of all wheel loaders. www.Werk-Brau.com
