TEREX Materials Processing has strengthened its position in the mineral washing industry with the launch of the Terex Washing Systems (TWS) product line.

Changing market dynamics call for stricter specification compliance, an increasing demand to recover useable product and the need to minimise waste. The new product range is designed to meet these requirements particularly in the mineral washing industry, according to the Northern Ireland-based firm.

Terex Materials Processing president Kieran Hegarty says: “Our customers are looking for a more cohesive solution to their washing needs so we’ve created TWS to focus solely on providing solutions to the minerals washing industry. This business line will be the single provider of washing equipment within Terex and will replace products previously offered by our Powerscreen and Terex Mobile Processing Equipment (Terex Finlay) lines.”

TWS offers a broad product portfolio, including sand wash and fines recovery plants, log washers, hoppers, feeders, conveyors, dewatering screens, static screens, mobile, static and modular rinsers. With the addition of combination plants and water management systems, this range will provide the potential to work in many applications.

A key benefit of the TWS portfolio is ease of transport and fast onsite installation.

Sean Loughran, global product line director for TWS, states: “Utilisation of proven Terex washing technologies and a strong focus on research and development (R&D) will drive our new product development programme. Supported by a dedicated engineering, sales and application team, TWS will quickly become one of the global leaders in mineral washing equipment.”

All washing products will be manufactured at Terex Corporation’s Dungannon facility in Northern Ireland and distributed through an extensive global dealer network. Technical support and parts will also be managed from the facility itself. TWS, available from this month (April), will be launched at the Hillhead 2012, an international quarrying and recycling show, to be held at Buxton, the UK, in June (19 to 21) where the TWS Aggwash AW-60 will be displayed.
