Masaba introduce new self-contained conveyor line | Agg-Net

Launch of rugged self-contained hydraulic radial stackers that operate under their own power

MASABA Inc., based in Vermillion, South Dakota, have introduced a new line of self-contained hydraulic radial stacking conveyors. Fully designed and built by Masaba, the road- and pit-portable stackers operate under their own power via a 72hp Yanmar onboard diesel hydraulic power unit, making them ideal for remote operations and job sites.

Built to the same rigorous specifications as Masaba’s traditional electric-powered stackers, and not limited to lighter steel weights and brandless components, the manufacturer says the new stackers are already being referred to by customers as ‘an entirely different breed of self-contained stacker’.

The new self-contained stackers are currently available in a standard belt width of 36in and in standard lengths of 80ft and 100ft. Masaba say they will offer additional lengths in the future, and will work with customers who desire custom widths and lengths.

The conveyors are easy to transport using a heavy-duty fifth-wheel hitch and easy to position with onboard lifting eyes. Masaba’s current standard line of self-contained models delivers 500 tons/h capacity at an 18° incline. The conveyors feature hydraulic raise, lower, and fold (the latter being a feature on the 100ft model). With Masaba’s swivel-block axle design, the versatile stackers can be used inline as a transfer conveyor or as a radial stacker.

Additional standard features of the self-contained conveyor line include self-cleaning tail pulleys, CEMA Class B idlers, three-ply belting, onboard counterweight, and guards.

Optional features for the line include a pintle hitch, hydraulic landing gear, vulcanized belt splice, belt scraper, CEMA Class C idlers, rubber-disc return idlers, impact idlers, radial receiving hopper, rock box hopper, and a bolt-on bumper.

As with all Masaba equipment, the new self-contained stackers come with a five-year structural and two-year component warranty.
