Screen USA Inc. has added the new CD410 severe shake C&D screening plant to the company’s line of track trommel screens and track conveyors.

According to Rick Cohen, owner of Screen USA Inc.,” We have been working on this machine vigorously for the past couple years and we are extremely proud of how it came out.

“We needed a reasonably priced track screening plant that can handle a wide variety of materials and we are excited to announce we accomplished our goal.”

The CD410 is equipped with 5-1/2 yd. open hopper, 40 in. wide variable speed feeder, 4 ft. by 10 ft. severe shake shaker screen and three built-on conveyors.

This track mounted screening plant is designed to screen clean materials such as sand and gravel but shines in difficult to screen materials like boney topsoil, C&D and log yard cleanup, according to the company.

“We offer a heavy-duty punch plate screen for the top deck so we can handle larger chunks of concrete and wood without hurting the integrity of the screener. This track screener is powered by a 74 hp Cat 2.2 Tier iv Final diesel engine.”

Screen USA Inc. manufactures small and medium sized screening equipment for the soil, organic and recycling industries.

years earlier than originally planned,” said Garin Groff of Arizona DOT. “A $25 million appropriation was approved by the state legislature and signed by Gov. Doug Ducey. In addition, the state received a $25 million TIGER grant (Transportation Investment Generating Economic Recovery).”

The city of Nogales and Santa Cruz County also contributed funds collected from trucking companies.

The project began in May 2020 with Ames Construction building the flyover ramps. Crews completed that portion of the job in March 2022. Workers finished the job in April 2022. As with almost all construction projects over the last two years, COVID caused some delays. The construction teams dealt with material and equipment delays. In addition, contractors took extra steps to keep their workforce healthy.

Tight Quarters

The current project was built on a $250 million upgrade of the Mariposa Port of Entry completed in 2014. One of the major challenges for the contractor, Ames Construction, was the lack of room on SR-189 to redirect traffic during the construction. Often in highway construction, traffic can be moved onto the road shoulders or parallel roadways. This was not possible in this case, so workers did much of their work at night when traffic was slower or was halted. This meant concrete pours and dirt operations were carried out at night.

The project required 46,000 tons of asphalt and 32,000 cu. yds. of concrete.

Environmental concerns were taken seriously. Old road materials were crushed nearby and used as subgrade or as an intermediate layer for the new road. This activity saved numerous truck trips to haul old material to a remote location. This action prevented adding to the already congested roads and saved the state the money of trucking in new material for the fill.

Chris Kane, who led the design-build project for Ames Construction, said environmental concerns figured prominently in their plans.

“The main portion of the flyovers, plus an existing bridge widening, were built in a wash so we had to control all of our access, equipment, materials and prevent any spills or contamination,” Kane said.

Outsiders unfamiliar with the dry conditions in the southwestern part of the country might see these washes as simple ditches. However, during heavy rains, washes in this construction area can fill with water quickly and become 10 feet deep or more. “FEMA considers this a flood plain, so we had to design channel walls that could handle a 100year flood,” said Kane. “The channels would direct water into massive pipes that would take the water under I-19 and into a water system. We also had to ensure that any flooding would not undermine the footings of our bridges.”

Another challenge for construction workers and planners was the massive roundabout built at SR-189 and Target Range Road. The traffic control structure is large enough to accommodate two semis traveling side by side. “It was the largest roundabout I’ve ever seen at about 180 feet across,” said Kane. “We had to build in five different stages to complete the work successfully while working around the traffic.”

Handling traffic while construction was happening required the crews to be constantly alert. One particularly difficult aspect of the build was that one of the bridge supports for I-19 arose directly from the busy SR-189 traffic.

“The aesthetic elements of the project also made it fun to

be a part of and was especially well-liked by the community,” said Kane. “Mariposa means butterfly in Spanish and butterfly patterns were embedded in some of the bridge supports.” With the completion of the project, residents and truckers see the new normal. “I love to do projects like this that can make an immediate positive impact on the community,” said Kane. “Once the bridges opened, it changed the face of the community. We had several people affiliated with the school and other residents express their appreciation.”  CEG

Bobcat Unveils New, Enhanced Attachments to Clear Land

For operators looking to make quick, efficient work in tough land management applications, Bobcat has launched two new Brushcat rotary cutter attachments and a full line of redesigned loader drum mulchers. Each model is equipped to powerfully cut, pulverize and clear debris in rough landclearing jobs.

Brushcat Rotary Cutters for Mini Track Loaders, Small Articulated Loaders

The 44 in. and 54 in. Brushcat attachments from Bobcat are the smallest two models in the lineup, allowing them to deliver powerful cutting and action and access to areas of untamed growth where larger rotary cutters cannot go. These new size offerings expand the company’s current attachment choices for the mini track loader and small articulated loader lines.

The models feature a high-efficiency, direct-drive motor that maximizes hydraulic horsepower for optimal cutting and mulching of tall, thick vegetation in one pass. The high cutting speeds and heavy-duty blades maximize inertia to cut and mulch vegetation up to 2 in. in diameter.

A lightweight, short deck and enhanced oscillation enable the brush cutter to follow ground contours to maintain a clean cut, even on slopes.

These new attachments are compatible with Bobcat’s small articulated loaders (L23, L28); mini track loaders (MT85, MT100); and Bobcat’s 450 skid-steer loaders and compact track loaders.

Additional Features:

• The oscillating deck follows the ground contour for an even and consistent cut on flat ground, slopes and uneven terrain. • The open, front-deck design allows for clear operator visibility to the cutting path. • At just 4-ft. wide and just under 5-ft. wide, the new Brushcat attachments provide greater access to hard-to-reach areas of heavy overgrowth. • The rear roller blocks debris from flying out the back, improves maneuverability and prevents the attachment from gouging into the ground. • Skid shoes prevent the deck from digging into inclines and are replaceable for easy maintenance and increased uptime.

Redesigned Loader Drum Mulchers

Built of high-strength, steel-body construction, the newly redesigned line of drum mulcher attachments provides leading durability and unbeatable performance. The attachments are available in 50-in., 61-in. and 72-in. cutting widths, and are approved for the 700- and 800-Series compact track and skid-steer loaders. Each size loader drum mulcher makes quick work of utility lines and right-of-way maintenance, site preparation, cleaning/maintaining property, disaster/environmental recovery response and orchard/vineyard maintenance. The standard 2-speed hydraulic motor provides increased drum torque and quicker drum speed recovery. The 50-in. and 61-in. mulchers come equipped with a pressure Each size loader drum mulcher makes quick work of utility gauge to better monitor drum speeds.

(Available on the 50-in. and 61-in. drum mulcher). • Compact size of the drum mulcher accommodates tough tree removal jobs of up to 8 in. • Reinforced push bar and optional low-profile front gate provide optimal visibility to the drum and cutting teeth. • Hydraulic drum break brings drum rotation to a stop within 20 seconds after deactivating the auxiliary hydraulics. • Redesigned hydraulic block and drive components enhance durability. • Bolt-on skid shoes are replaceable for greater convenience and operator uptime. • Durable connection points support leading durability and operator uptime. • Hose clamps and hose sling protect hydraulic hoses from kinking, A lightweight, short deck and enhanced oscillation enable the brush cutter to follow ground contours to maintain contact wear and entanglement. • Rear debris chains obstruct debris thrown toward the rear of the attachment. a clean cut, even on slopes.
