Terex Washing Systems' new M1700X mobile washing screen has been redesigned with a focus on wet processing efficiency
Terex Washing Systems launched its latest innovation – the enhanced M1700X mobile washing screen – at Ireland’s Construction & Quarry Machinery Show, which took place in September.
The new unit is a redesign of the M1700, and will be available in Australia, with Terex Washing Systems having received local orders for the new model.
The M range can produce up to five products (three aggregates and two sands) in applications including aggregates, recycling, industrial sands and mining. The M1700X was featured at the show alongside the FM120 C-2G sand processing unit, which allows sand to be recovered when the machines are connected.
“The addition of the M1700X will enhance an already significant product range offered by Terex Washing Systems, meeting both market and customers’ needs for mobile washing,” says Terex Washing Systems business line director Barry McMenamin.
“Our team of engineers have worked closely with our customers to develop improvements to an already high performing machine, such as the new tracked rinser that features a redesigned high fluidisation wash box, increased standard features and improved washing efficiency.”
The improved M1700X features a new integrated high fluidisation wash box to maximise deck efficiency, increase media wear life and have an adjustable spray system. It also boasts increased standard features, including a standard hydraulic raise and lower for quicker service access, standard hydraulic tensioning, and one-piece catchbox for easy machine reconfiguration.
The M1700X has heavy duty bearing arrangement for long service life, higher levels of screening efficiency and throughput, increased serviceability and maintenance access as well as increased screen angle adjustment that is adaptable for feed material variation.
The model has also been redesigned with a focus on wet processing efficiency, with a 16 per cent increase in spray capacity across all decks, high levels of catchbox sealing, configurable catchbox outlets and configurable blending to maintain material specification.
Additionally, the M1700X is easily transported, has a quick set up time (typically 15 minutes) and has optional hybrid power available.
