Morris, MN – Superior Industries, Inc., a major U.S. manufacturer of conveyor systems and their related components, launched new material handling, conveying and processing innovations at CONEXPO-CON/AGG 2014 in Las Vegas, with an indoor site in Central Hall (Booth # 51838); and an outdoor site in the brand new Platinum Lot (Booth #7602). Superior also highlighted its full conveyor components line at both booths.
Superior Launched New Zipline™ Conveyor
As a low cost alternative to traditional custom-engineered overland conveyors, the new Superior Industries Zipline Conveyor is designed for quick installation. Pre-engineered and available immediately on demand from Superior Industries dealers, the system is a complete package with the structure and an accessories kit that includes Superior idlers, pulleys and belt cleaners. The Zipline Conveyor is engineered for flexible modifications with each section designed to easily accommodate future additions or subtractions in length.
Superior Industries TeleStacker® Conveyor with New XTP Axle
Showcasing the latest available marine-duty upgrades for this system, Superior Industries highlighted its 36-inch x 150-foot TeleStacker Conveyor with its new XTP Axle. Rated for 1000-TPH capacities, this telescoping radial stacking conveyor has long been applicable in aggregate stockpiling applications; however, at the show, the system was equipped with a 20-foot telescoping discharge chute that is ideal for loading marine vessels. Its marine-duty covers include Superior belt covers on the main frame and a telescoping canvas cover on the stinger conveyor.
The new XTP Axle cuts setup time to less than two minutes, more than an 80-percent reduction in setup time over conventional swing-axle units. New power travel on the XTP Axle eliminates time-consuming chain installation. Also, unlike conventional axle systems, the XTP’s pivoting walking beam results in true tire alignment with a radial travel path that eliminates any tire scuffing, while maintaining the conveyor feed point to prevent potential spillage.
Superior Industries Razer Tail® Truck Unloader
Superior Industries highlighted its RazerTail Truck Unloader featuring a 48-inch belt, an adjustable height discharge conveyor, and wireless remote control operation. At capacities averaging 1000-TPH and rated for 1.5-inch-minus lumps, this RazerTail Truck Unloader offers 60-second belly and end-dump truck cycle times, minimizes costly loader use, increases jobsite safety, and guarantees product quality by eliminating extra handling of materials in aggregate, recycle, construction, and marine handling applications. Requiring only a five-minute setup time, its new onboard, patented self-cleaning truck ramps eliminate the need for earthen ramps. When used in conjunction with automated telescoping radial stacking conveyors, operations realize even greater quality control and cost-per-ton savings.
New Superior Industries Portable Screening Plant
Superior Industries is excited to re-enter the portable plant market with the introduction of its new 8-foot x 20-foot portable screen plant designed for highly-mobile, high-capacity performance in a number of applications. Shortly after its founding in the early 1970s, Superior Industries was primarily known for its portable plants. At CONEXPO-CON/AGG, Superior launched its current innovations in portable screening plants.
