As part of its continuing new product development programmes, Powerscreen International – a part of the Terex group of companies – has launched a number of new products this year geared for the mobile screening industries.

The new machines include the Chieftain 1700 and Chieftain 2100X, Horizon 5163, Finesmaster 120 Compact and Phoenix 3300. The two new Chieftains add to the phenomenally successful Chieftain range with over 10,000 units from the line in operation globally.
Powerscreen is a full-line producer of mobile equipment from the market entry MkII screen up to the high-capacity Horizon 6203, boasting production efficiencies through a new £3 million ($5.93 million) plant investment.

Horizon
The Powerscreen Horizon 5163 is a highly mobile unit using tried-and-tested horizontal screen technology, giving the customer a machine capable of handling a material size of up to 250 mm, producing high volumes of high-specification materials from its precision-screening capabilities, says Rosemary McNicholl, spokesperson for the company.
“In today’s growing markets, there is a high demand for specification materials that must meet British US and EU regulations and the Powerscreen Horizon Range has proved itself in this particular sector as it meets the stringent standards of BS EN 12620 and its US and EU equivalents for high-specification concrete production, as well as BS EN13242 and BS EN 13043 and its US and EU equivalents for road aggregates and asphalt,” she adds.
The Horizon range is at home in applications such as natural and crushed aggregates, coal, iron ore, crushed and recycled concrete and asphalt, among others. This machine is a highly mobile unit giving an evenly distributed track capability and a quick set-up time of as little as 30 minutes from its user-friendly, integral, hydraulically-folding stockpile conveyors and easy-to-set-up feeder and screen system.
The Horizon 5163, which can produce material up to 600 tonnes per hour (tph), has now been added to this range to cater for projects and contracts that do not require the massive output tonnage of Powerscreen’s Horizon 6203 that can produce materials up to 800 tph, depending on application. This makes it a more cost-effective purchase for the smaller projects whilst still having all the advantages of the Horizon 6203, which include being a good scalping unit, as well as giving large production of high-specification products for use in concrete and road building and paving, she says.
The tried-and-tested triple shaft mechanism, which creates the highly aggressive action of the screen, can be easily adjusted, giving a range of amplitudes and G forces that the material is exposed to, to help separate and clean it into a high-specification product.
“The Horizon 5163 also has the ability to easily change the rate of material-travel over the screen deck. This allows the material to be passed over the screen deck more quickly for higher tonnage or more slowly for increased screening action for those that are harder to separate, giving a cleaner end product. Like the 6203, it has four integral folding stockpile conveyors for flexibility and quick set-up as well as wide walkways, giving access to all sides of the screen for ease of maintenance and screen mesh change.
The Horizon range has also been designed to work in crushing set-ups that require a closed loop system for primary, secondary and tertiary crushing processes with the objective of achieving high tonnages of fine-sized product that has meet strict specifications,” points out McNicholl.

Chieftain 1700
The new Chieftain 1700 has been developed as a highly mobile two and three-deck model, giving up to six product separation. This model has been specifically designed to fit into the mid-range bracket between the Chieftain 1400 and the Chieftain 2100.
Its key features include a quick set-up time of under 30 minutes and an adjustable high amplitude two-bearing screen action, which can expose material to varying amplitudes and G force, helping to separate material into the various required specifications. The hydraulic screen angle adjustment varies the material-travel rate over the screen deck to achieve the cleanest product in the most difficult of applications while four integral hydraulically-folding stockpile conveyors fold and transport with the machine without the requirement for assisted lifting devices to put the machine into a working mode.
The Chieftain 1700 also features full-access walkways which give access to three sides of the screen for ease of maintenance and screen mesh change, a transverse power-unit that provides greater access to the engine compartment for ease of maintenance and greater stockpile capacity;
The screen box on the Chieftain 1700 has been designed so that it can use meshes from the existing Powerscreen product range, reducing the need for a customer to stock new meshes if that customer already has a Chieftain 1400 in his fleet. Meshes and other parts are detailed in the Powerscreen genuine parts catalogue that can be sourced from a local Powerscreen dealer.
All Powerscreen products have been designed to adhere to global emission regulations and are therefore Tier 3 compliant.

Chieftain 2100X
This model is an upgraded version of the Chieftain 2100, available as a two and three deck unit with an increased screen area of 14 per cent on the bottom deck, pushing the screening capability much higher than the Chieftain 2100. While it shares the advantages of the Chieftan 1700 listed above, it has an oversize auxiliary stockpile conveyor designed so that it hydraulically folds and transports with the machine, removing the need for assisted lifting devices to put the machine into a working mode.
Finesmaster 120 Compact
The Powerscreen range of Finesmaster sand classification systems are among the most efficient sand dewatering units available in the market.
“The debut of the Finesmaster 120 Compact shows how popular the Finesmaster Compact range has become as it is a simplified cost-effective, energy-conscious alternative to the main Powerscreen Finesmaster range,” she points out.
The Compact range has been engineered for quick installation and still combines all the key advantages of the Finesmaster machines such as their ability to dewater sand, with maximum removal of water whilst retaining the maximum amount of fine saleable product. The Finesmaster 120 Compact uses centrifugal force within the cyclone to remove clays, silts and slime from sand to bring it into specification crucial for the construction industries.

Phoenix 3300
A flagship of the company, this new model is the largest two-way split mobile trommel screen in the Phoenix range. This range has been designed and built specifically for topsoil, recycling, wood chippings and compost applications. Key features of the Phoenix 3300 include the largest screen area within the Phoenix range, a low-maintenance four-wheel drive friction drum drive-system, proportional load-sensing on the feeder conveyor to eliminate blockages and downtime, hydraulic folding conveyors including a 180-degree radial fines conveyor and tier 3 compliant engines.
Powerscreen focuses on providing its customers with excellent after-sales services and have recently launched the Gold after-sales programme that gives customers superior warranty terms. Powerscreen International dealers can also offer customers Terex Financial Services (TFS) to provide competitive finance and leasing solutions structured to complement the customer’s cash flow, budget and operational requirements.
 Terex is considered to be the third largest construction equipment manufacturer in the world, with a $6 billion turnover and market-leading products across almost every sector. Its construction division provides equipment and support in the heavy, compact and crushing and screening sectors. Terex also manufactures a broad range of aerial work platforms, cranes, as well as mining, road building and utility products.
