MARTIN CONVEYOR SYSTEM REDUCES WEAR Martin Engineering has introduced two conveyor system components designed to mitigate expensive spillage and belt wear issues at material transfer points. The EVO Slider Cradle and the Martin Slider Cradle both support the belt and prevent spillage due to belt edge sag. Located under the skirt board in the chute box after the impact cradle, the units utilize “double-life” slider bars, which offer a superior seal with low friction. The result is a flat and stable belt surface throughout the settling zone, reducing fugitive material and extending belt health. The Martin Engineering slider cradles are designed for conveyor systems with speeds up to 700 fpm (3.5 m/sec) and belts lengths of more than 50 feet (15.2 m). Typically 48 inches (1220 mm) long, the units are also available in custom sizes for special applications. The belt glides over low friction 62 durometer (shore D) UHMW polyethylene sidebars featuring the company’s unique “box” design and low drive-power consumption. They display minimal heat buildup during operation and can handle service temperatures of -20° to 140°F (-29° to 60°C). The shape allows operators to turn the bars over for a second service life without disassembly of cradle components. Manufactured to accommodate belt width sizes of 36 inches (915 mm) for single bar models and 42-60 inches (1066-1524 mm) for double bar designs, operators simply pull the cradle away from the frame to perform maintenance on idlers and sidebars. It can be ordered to suit any CEMA standard trough angle. NETT TECH VERIFIED BY EPA Nett Technologies Inc. of Mississauga, Ont. Has received verification of its BlueMAX PLUS 100 SCR system by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The BlueMAX PLUS 100 SCR system represents the industry’s only nitrogen oxides (NOx) and particulate matter (PM) retrofit emission control device to be commercially available to the non-road market. Nett Technologies’ BlueMAX PLUS 100 SCR system has been designed to reduce nitrogen oxides (NOx) and particulate matter (PM) by a minimum of 85% from medium and heavy-duty non-road diesel engines ranging between 75 and 560 kW (100- 750 hp). In addition to removing Nox and PM, the system also has the added benefit of reducing carbon monoxide (CO) emissions by 95% and hydrocarbons (HC) by 60%. This product is well suited for known PM2.5 and ozone nonattainment areas where controlling both PM and Nox are key factors towards adopting appropriate State Implementation Plans (SIPs) under the Clean Air Act. The BlueMAX PLUS 100 system consists of a passive diesel particulate filter followed by a urea SCR system. “The BlueMAX PLUS 100 is a great retrofit emission control solution for non-road engines certified to Tier 1, 2 or 3 emission standards. The system is a durable and versatile emission control solution that extends the years of usage of existing construction and non-road equipment. Thanks largely to its direct- fit design, the system not only meets the latest regulations but is highly efficient in its operation,” says Dr. Seyed M. Shameli, product development engineer at Nett Technologies. For more information, visit Nett Technologies online at www.nettinc.com.
