CDE’s latest innovation, the CDE M5500 wash plant
3168 CDE Global’s latest innovation, the CDE M5500 wash plant that can produce up to 500tonnes/hour of washed materials on a single chassis, will be unveiled.

A selection of Infinity screens, the company’s new development in screening technology, will also be launched on the North American market along with other technologies.

Kevin Vallelly, head of product development at CDE, said: “This latest addition to the M-Series combines feeding, screening, washing and stockpiling onto one chassis, and packs an extra punch with special features. These include a higher capacity of 550tons per hour, a five-product capability and triple-pass cyclone sand washing.

“The CDE M-Series range now offers a comprehensive range of solutions adapted to the needs of all our North American customers. The M5500 is specifically adapted to the requirements of North American operators who are seeking to achieve high production levels with a focus on quality and cost-efficiency.”

Adapted to applications in both dry and wet screening situations across a wide range of materials, the new CDE Infinity technology will also be of particular interest to operators looking for sturdier and more economical vibrating screens, says CDE.

Neil Mullan, design engineer at CDE, said: “We sell over 200 screens every year to the global market, either as part of the modular equipment that we have become well known for or as stand-alone.

“The new weld-free Infinity screens can generate the same acceleration as conventional screens with less weight, resulting in a reduction in power consumption and in operational costs, which presents significant benefits to our clients’ operations.”

According to CDE, the final product exits the wash plant ready for use, having been dewatered to 15% moisture.
