The DustBoss DB-R Ring from Dust Control Technology is engi-neered for industrial strength and longevity, built with a high-quality stainless steel ring out-fitted with a network of atomizing nozzles that deliver millions of 50-200 micron droplets per minute. By sur-rounding the discharge flow on all sides, the DustBoss Ring provides simple, focused dust management that’s well suited to continuous duty, such as radial stackers. LEMAR INDuSTRIES ACQuIRES RILEy EQuIPMENT Moving forward in its plan for strategic growth and expansion, LeMar Industries has acquired leading ma-terial handling manufacturer Riley Equipment. “With this move we take LeMar’s core product offerings to the next level with significant expansion benefiting customers immediately,” says Robert Mar -tin, President. “Our partners can be confident in an enhanced experience marked by LeMar’s signature service and flexibility.” The move expands and strengthens LeMar’s al -ready robust product line to include bucket elevators, chain drag conveyors (horizontal, inclined, and verti-cal), screw conveyors, distributors and other related accessories. JANUARY/FEBRUARY 2012 SChuTTE-BuFFALO’S LABORATORy SCALE hAMMERMILL Sometimes, smaller is better, as is the case with the new Schutte Buffalo Lab Scale Ham-mermills. The rugged, yet compact, grav-ity discharge Laboratory Scale Ham-mermill from Schutte-Buffalo Ham-mermill features the same durable construction and long-wearing com-ponents of production scale models. Lightweight, low noise and suit-able for small production, batch or pilot projects. The 6” and 8” wide laboratory scale mills are capable of processing a variety of materials to a granular or powder consistency with scalable results. FECON INTRODuCES NEW MuLChING TRACTOR Fecon is proud to introduce the new FTX100 LGP mulching tractor. Equipped with a 99hp Kubota V3800 engines, this tractor provides impressive cutting power and traction capabilities for all job conditions. Though similar to the original FTX100 this machine boasts a heavier designed undercarriage. The FTX100 LGP of-fers both 16” and 20” track shoe options in single or triple grouser. These options allow the contractor to outfit the machine for rough terrain or soft ground conditions where a light footprint or reduced ground distur-bance is important.
