The unit suits use for the removal of predefined sections of asphalt for subsequent restoration or for the opening of new road manholes. It can also be used to make sharp cuts for laying fiber optic cables. The clean and burr-free cut produces minimal quantities of waste material and avoids trench deformation, facilitating the filling phase and the quality of the restoration.
Simex now offers for the US market 15 models of wheel saws specifically designed for reduced set-section trenches. The attachments are included into four product ranges: RW, T and D-BLADE for loaders and skid steers, RWE for excavator boom mounting.
The PC210E model integrates Proterra’s proven lithium-ion battery technology with Komatsu’s components such as the hydraulic pump, controller, and electric motor. The machine benefits from robust protection for the battery pack to ensure that this will cope with the tough construction application.
Digging performance and machine durability is said to match the conventional diesel-driven PC210 model. The Proterra battery system is said to allow operation for up eight hours when fully charged. Electric power means that the machine can be used in areas without about noise or exhaust emissions such as underground operations, as well as urban areas and night-time construction work. The zero-engine vibration also helps reduce operator fatigue.
The JAWMAX 400 on show at the Las Vegas Convention Center is said to feature one of the most advanced diesel-electric drive concepts on the market. A combination of fuel-efficient onboard diesel and performance-tuned generator powers the plant’s materials processing.
SBM’s mobile plant range comprises 12 track-mounted JAWMAX jaw crushers and REMAX impact crushers, capable of 250 – 800tph production. The plant range shares the same innovative drive concept, with fewer hydraulics ensuring less risk of failure, lower maintenance and parts inventory costs, and thus higher availability, says SBM. Overall savings from running the plants can, says the OEM, be 40% to 75%.

All SBM plants provide intelligent integrated ‘Crush Control’ controls that noticeably relieve the operator in set-up and operation. The company stresses that even inexperienced machine operators can safely operate and access the full performance of the JAWMAX and REMAX models, which can be equipped with numerous pre-screening and post-screening options.
At CONEXPO/CON-AGG 2023, SBM will also update showground attendees about the brand-new REMAX 600. Based on the SBM hybrid concept, the new 600tph impact crusher will soon pave the way for "autonomous crushing", says the manufacturer. Extensive sensor technology, including cameras, records and evaluates the feed material as well as intermediate and end products. In real-time, those values reach centralised digital labs at SBM, where they are further analysed. Necessary adjustments are then made on the ‘digital twin’ of the working machine and re-transmitted directly to the REMAX 600 in the field. The REMAX 600 – known as ‘Crusher 4.0- - developed together with the University of Leoben was presented at the recent bauma 2022 Munich exhibition. Large-scale field tests are currently being carried out at selected partner sites.
SBM is planning a sustainable expansion of its sales and service activities in North and South America as well as in the Anglo-Pacific region. So far, the company is represented in Canada with its own spare parts centre and two supra-regional dealers (AMACO Equipment and ProTrack Equipment). SBM is particularly focused on the US market and is there in all relevant industry segments, from raw materials to the construction industry to qualified recycling. During CONEXPO/CON-AGG 2023, SBM will be presenting new trade partners and is keen to receive enquiries from interested companies.

"Throughout the whole aggregates and construction industry, sustainability is gaining ground and has become a big driver for innovations and operations," says Juha Yli-Petäys, senior vice-president, Global Distribution Management at Metso Outotec. "For us at Metso Outotec, sustainability and improved performance are among our key goals with our customers and are present in every R&D project. At CONEXPO-CON/AGG 2023, we will demonstrate our groundbreaking innovations that address our customers' key challenges like energy consumption, uptime, safety or carbon footprint reduction."
The special previews for CONEXPO-CON/AGG visitors at Metso Outotec's booth include the following:
The HPe range – evolution in motion
The new HPe range Metso Outotec's highly popular Nordberg HP cone crushers will be previewed at CONEXPO-CON/AGG 2023
The most popular modern cone crusher in the world, the Nordberg HP cone crusher, is undergoing an evolution. The new Nordberg HPe range offers higher performance and uptime more sustainably. The new range is even more efficient, meeting the aggregates and mining industries' varying and ever-increasing performance needs.
The kinematical crushing action and crusher cavities have been further developed and optimised, resulting in significantly higher performance and grade of application flexibility. Significantly, the crusher liners can be installed without backing material. This not only makes the liner changes easier and shortens the time needed for service breaks but also positively impacts the environment and operator safety.
The iconic Lokotrack range and the vision for the future
Lokotrack track-mounted crushers and screens are famous for their outstanding performance and dependability regarding aggregates production. At CONEXPO-CON/AGG, we will display the latest version of the Lokotrack LT120 – one of the most efficient mobile jaw crushers in the market for demanding quarry and contract crushing applications. The LT120 features the proven Nordberg® C120 jaw crusher and is equipped for optimised performance and extended wear life. It includes the Planet Positive hybrid composite MX jaw dies, a rock breaker, rubber lining in the feeder, a belt cleaning set for the long main conveyor, the latest intelligent crushing solution, and the new Metrics remote monitoring platform.
Metso Outotec will also provide a sneak peek at the future vision of the next generation of Lokotracks, which will continue to transform mobile crushing.
Aftermarket solutions to optimise performance
Metso Outotec's comprehensive aftermarket solutions for quarries and contractors will be highlighted at CONEXPO-CON/AGG 2023 in Las Vegas
Metso Outotec's aftermarket solutions help quarries and contractors reduce cost per ton and decrease their energy consumption and carbon footprint. With the OEM quality parts and digitally powered services, Metso Outotec can optimise the performance and uptime of aggregates-producing equipment at every phase of the production lifecycle. The digital solution, Metso Outotec Metrics, which enables a wide range of services targeting improved performance, availability and equipment lifespan for different aggregates applications, will also be showcased at the event.
The full list of Metso Outotec's exhibits at CONEXPO-CON/AGG 2023 is available on the company's website.
