December 4, 2012, Valley View, Ohio –
IROCK Crushers introduces the TS-409 Open Style Feeder Track Screening Plant. This
screener, one in a line of five IROCK models, is designed for small- to
mid-size producers who need a more economical, more compact screening plant and
do not require as much capacity.

The TS-409 is suitable for materials
such as topsoil, mulch, sand and gravel, asphalt, coal, limestone and
demolition debris. It is powered by a 66.2 horsepower Deutz engine and is
capable of processing materials at a rate of up to 300 TPH. In terms of
transportation, the equipment can be loaded onto a trailer to move from site to
site, and has a set-up time of 10 minutes or less.

The smallest screening plant in its
class, the TS-409 features an open-style hopper feeder with a 5.02 cubic yard
capacity and a 42-inch-wide belt feeder conveyor. Capable of accurately and
consistently sizing materials up to 12 inches in size, the TS-409 has two
9-foot by 4-foot decks for a total of 72 square feet of screening area. This
design allows users to produce and sort products in up to three different
sizes, and the decks can be interchanged so customers have more control over
end-product size.

The unit remains robust with features
such as 400-mm-wide crawler tracks and an onboard 42-inch oversized Chevron
belt conveyor with a stockpiling height of 11.5 feet. The entire working unit
measures just over 41 feet long. 

Design features and component options
further enhance the machine’s durability and flexibility and provide end users
more customization control. A 42-inch rubber belt 

feeder is standard on the unit, but
customers can substitute a Hardox-lined apron feeder to improve longevity in
more rugged environments. Optional radio-control tracks can provide operators
the convenience and flexibility to maneuver the unit around a job site
wirelessly. Top deck bofar bars allow producers to retain more valuable fine
material while rejecting unwanted oversize products. Finally, top-deck punch
plates, commonly used in scalping or heavy-duty screening applications, are
also an option that prolongs screen life. 

Ground level greasing points for the
bearings make it easy to perform maintenance on the TS-409. The engine
compartment is also easily accessible and maintenance friendly.
