Page 78 • October 12, 2022 • www.constructionequipmentguide.com • Recycling Section • Construction Equipment Guide Powerscreen’s Titan 2300 Shines for Sammy P Inc. in Plainfield, Conn.
A Komatsu PC490 with an oversized bucket is perfectly matched to keep the Titan operating at peak efficiency.
AGGREGATE from page 70 said. “Our production levels increased, and our fuel consumption stayed the same. It was a win all the way around.
“The screening deck on our previous screener was 5 by 16. The difference between the 5 by 16 and the 6 by 20 on the Titan 2300 was astounding,” Cheney added. “ We see even additional fuel savings with the number of cycles the excavator has to make to feed the hopper and the number of trips the loader has to make to carry away materials.
“What’s really ideal about this machine is that the 60-inch screen conveyor to the screening deck is perfectly paired to handle the volume going into the hopper and the screens in the lower deck are perfectly paired to handle the volume coming from the upper deck,” Petrowsky added. “So, you can really maximize your production levels.”
According to Cheney, “Depending on type of material, before the Titan their plants were producing 750 ton of sand in an 8-hour day compared to their current production levels of 1,250 ton plus in a typical 8-hour day. With a hopper capacity of 14 yards the ability to increase production levels was immediate and substantial.”
The Titan 2300 is primarily producing three products, most importantly a dry screened sand that is Connecticut DOT approved for direct asphalt use. They also produce a 11/2 (+/-) in. stone and an 8-in. to 2-in. minus gravel. The 8in. to 2-in. minus gravel is sold in bulk for re-crushing for many other uses.
According to Cheney, “It’s quite plausible that the Titan could hit significantly higher production levels, perhaps as high as 200 to 250 tons per hour of sand if the material fed was less rocky. Unfortunately, their sand condition is quite stony and is always going to limit the production levels. Because the new machine has 42-inch side conveyors, the plant is now capable of handling much larger volumes of rock. The term for our type of sand is bony and bony material takes longer to process.
Wylie added “When I evaluated Sammy P’s situation one of the challenges I identified was precisely the amount of stone in his sand, and the width of his conveyors on the existing plant. His existing plant had 35-inch and 55-inch stone conveyors, and they were running at full capacity. My research showed that the Titan machine had stone conveyors measuring 42 inch and 64 inch with twin drive. Therefore, the Titan machine would be able to process a much greater volume of sand for Sammy P because it could handle removing a greater volume of stone.”
Cheney continued “There were a lot of factors in determining what plant to buy. This decision was relatively easy. The Titan was by far the best engineered plant to handle the type of material we are processing and to achieve the spec we are looking for.”
“We’ve known Seamus Sheelan, president of Powerscreen New England, and Graham Wylie, his sales rep, for a long time. Certainly, more than 20 years. So, I was confident I was dealing with people who are stable, who have a great reputation, and were going to be here when I need them,” Petrowsky concluded.

Recycling Today Events held its inaugural Scrap Expo at the Kentucky Exposition Fairgrounds in Louisville Sept. 13 to 14. The event, with an attendance of nearly 800, attracted scrap, recycling and demolition professionals from throughout the United States.
The trade show portion of the event featured the industry’s leading equipment, service and product providers in an indoor exhibit area. The main attraction at the Scrap Expo was the equipment, with live demonstrations conducted in an outdoor exhibit area throughout the two-day event. Attendees were able to watch the material handlers, scrap shearing, baling and other material processing equipment while gaining some one-on-one time with factory and dealer representatives for in-depth insights into the equipment at work.
The Scrap Expo also featured a series of technical sessions sponsored and conducted by some of the leading names in the scrap industry. Topics included “Mobile Shear Maintenance” presented by Loren LaGesse, technical trainer of Genesis Attachments; “Material Handler Hydraulic System Maintenance” presented by Constantino Lannes, president of SENNEBOGEN and Colleen Miller, SENNEBOGEN national accounts and sales manager; “Baler Maintenance” presented by Ricardo Diaz, lead technician of Sierra International; and “Insights into Specifying the Right Attachments for Scrap and Demolition” presented by Bill Abraham, territory manager of Company Wrench.
Brett Ekart, CEO of United Metals Recycling and host of popular podcast, "A Scrap Life," joined Norman Wright, CEO of Stadium Auto Parts to provide insights into the scrap markets.
Sessions on scrap commodities were conducted by Davis Klein, senior vice president of Nonferrous Marketing/Alter Trading Corporation; Michael Diehl, president of Coremet Trading Inc.; Bobby Triesch, vice president of SA Recycling; and Brett Ekart, CEO of United Metals Recycling. The discussions, focused on “Red” metals (copper, brass and bronze) and ferrous metals, were moderated by Daniel Poris, vice president of Nonferrous GLE Scrap Metal and Zulma Herrera-Vakkur, manager of Ferrous Davis Index.
John Sacco, president and co-owner of Sierra International Machinery presented his popular podcast, “Pile of Scrap” with Jay Robinovitz, president and CEO of Alter Trading and Gordon Driscoll, GreenSpark Software co-founder and CEO gave a talk on software for scrap and auto dismantling.
Sponsors of the Scrap Expo included Alter Trading Corporation, SENNEBOGEN, Company Wrench, US Conveyor, Genesis, Sierra, Steinert and Caterpillar.

Complete with its high-performance powertrain, closed-loop hydraulics and upgraded screening, the new Cat D1 mulcher is specially designed to optimize performance when clearing a mix of small- to medium-diameter materials.
Design-matched with the rugged Cat HM518 mulcher, the D1 mulcher clears a 72 in. wide strip on each pass, making it the right machine for right-of-way construction and maintenance, site development, tree management and firebreak clearing, according to the manufacturer.
The new mulcher is powered by the 77.6 kW (104 hp) Cat C3.6 Diesel Engine meeting U.S. EPA Tier IV Final/EU Stage V emission standards. An alternate emissions package for the C3.6 is available to meet Tier III-equivalent standards.
The machine’s lower sloping hood line improves visibility to the mulching head, allowing the operator to better assess the job site from the cab. Standard auto reversing fan purges debris from the radiator and enclosures, plus the hinged grill requires no tools to access the radiator for cleaning.
Isolating machine vibration from the operator to reduce fatigue, the Cat HM518 mulcher controls are mounted on the air-suspension seat. Inside the pressurized, heated and air-conditioned cab, an intuitive operator interface features a 10 in. color touchscreen monitor with standard reversing camera display to help improve all-around visibility to the jobsite. An in-cab drum indicator offers quick glance of drum speed and direction to help the operator manage ground speed and mulching productivity.
Featuring cladding material in high-wear areas, the new HM518 mulcher frame offers increased service life. Bolt-on wear plates deliver long wear life and are quickly replaced.
Offering a drum speed range of 2,150 to 2,450 rpm, the drum’s 38 fixed teeth feature a single-bolt carbide tooth retention design for simple replacement. Its closed-loop hydraulic circuit includes load-sensing hydraulics to prevent rotor damage when hitting an obstruction.
The HM518 mulcher has a 31 in. maximum lift height, 14.5 in. maximum tilt and 25degree maximum angle to either side.
Standard sweeps, screens, windows plus rear guard help to protect both the operator and machine when mulching. With its specially designed tractor platform, the D1 mulcher is balanced and rugged to increase efficiency when operating in challenging applications.
Contractors can choose between the conventional (XL) or low-ground-pressure (LGP) undercarriage design, offering 16 in. or 25 in. track shoe widths respectively, to increase flexibility and efficiency for working in soft underfoot conditions, on slopes and in rough terrain. To increase machine versatility, the new D1 mulcher can be equipped with an optional variable-pitch/angle/tilt (VPAT) blade in XL, LGP or Intermediate configuration.
