When it comes to deciding on which conveyor best meets your production goals, Terex offers a comprehensive range of robust, reliable and efficient bulk material handling and stockpiling solutions through Terex Jaques with the recently launched the ProStack brand. Key markets and applications for the tailored conveyor range include aggregates, mining, recycling, agriculture, ports & terminals and many other bulk material handling industries.

Today the range comprises of tracked & wheeled mobile conveyors, high and low level tracked feeders and the recently launched telescopic range and bulk reception feeders. The portfolio has been designed to include a multitude of options to tailor these machines to meet customer demands.

“We developed these products to meet our customer’s needs, providing a solution for conveying application requirement with the best possible product quality and productivity” explains John Flynn, Terex Jaques Business Line Director.

Radial Telescopic Conveyors

The comprehensive range of radial telescopic conveyors are available from 42m up to 58m in length with capacities up to 1500TPH in standard specification. They come in a wheeled portable format and are further enhanced with on board hydraulic systems allowing quick, efficient site deployment. Advanced PLC automation and radio remote control of the radial, telescopic and luffing movements allow creation of large precise desegregated stockpiles, loading material carrying vessels, barges and ships or being integrated into existing bulk handling operations.

With TLC automation, the newest radial telescopic has a 42m reach and delivers production rates of up to 600 TPH. It can be towed fully assembled or broken down into three 40 ft HQ shipping containers for easy transport. The powered wheeled radial drive ensures an area of 270 degrees to be reached from a single feed-in point, without moving the equipment. The flexibility and efficiency of this equipment means it can be used in many applications long and short term.

Bulk Reception Feeders

The bulk reception feeders can receive high volume material feeds, delivering a steady uniform material flow onto secondary material handling systems. These conveyors are purpose built for loading and unloading ships, trucks, trains and more. The 10-12 feeder has a 1200mm wide belt design that can handle up to 1000 TPH and discharge the material at a maximum height of 3.1m. The larger 15-18 feeder has a 1800mm belt and can handle 1500TPH discharging at a height of 3.5m. The bulk reception series can drastically increase the efficiency and productivity of any material handling operation.

Tracked & Wheeled Conveyors

Tracked and wheeled conveyors complement mobile crushing and screening equipment and are available from 15m up to 31m with capacities of up to 600 TPH in standard specification. As production moves around the site, conveyors can be easily repositioned alongside mobile and static crushing and screening plants. The introduction of our tracked feeder can provide a secondary controlled feed into your materials processing operations and utilised across your operation to manage material. Mobile conveyors also offer flexibility when quick turnaround is needed on site as conveyors can be quickly and easily transported in and set up.

Why Conveyors?

For quarry owners, the cost of using wheel loaders has become extortionate. Choosing a conveyor over a loader to stockpile material allows quarry owners to cope with bigger production levels as well as cutting the cost of diesel and the cost of operators to control them. It equates to less downtime and more efficiency throughout the crushing and screening material processing operation. A conveyor also improves site safety, through the reduction of loader and haulage truck movements. Conveyors can maintain consistent product specification by eliminating double handling and minimizing compaction of material.

Selecting Conveyors for Your Application

Selecting the right conveyor for your application can be daunting. Factors to consider include the size and shape of the material, the condition of the material (dry, wet, sticky), and the quantity of material being moved as well as the needs of the site: Does the material handling solution need to be portable? Is the ground prepared for the use of wheels or tracks? Are you using the conveyor to create stockpiles on site or loading the material directly into a container to move out? The wide range of material handling solutions offered by Terex allows the team to customize solutions to the application and site needs.

Terex Jaques has recently commissioned several conveyors out of its Melbourne facility. The TC80-T tracked conveyor, fitted with the dual power option, was selected by a customer because of its portability, self-deployment and ability to position itself in different locations on site. The capacity of this unit to be operated with electric drive when at a fixed quarry site and convert to diesel drive when operating on a remote site with tracked crushing and screening equipment provides great flexibility. Two recently delivered TC5032W wheeled are now working in confined spaces where heavier conveyors are unable to manoeuvre.

The range of mobile conveyors are designed to work in conjunction with the entire range of crushing and screening equipment offered by Terex. Whether you’re on the move, need a temporary solution or have a large static operation, the team at Terex Jaques can help you customize solutions to fit your site’s unique requirements.
