The R230 High Energy Durable Screener is one of the most robust, durable and powerful heavy duty mobile screeners in the world, according to its manufacturer 4982 McCloskey International (MI).

With a weight of 34,000kgs, the R230 is said by MI to be capable of operating as a stand-alone plant producing finished product, or it can serve as a primary scalping component to the largest of portable crushing spreads.

The screener’s heavy duty high energy screenbox is said to provide the highest capacity in its class at 6.1m x 1.83m, and can be raised at the lower end for easy bottom deck access.

A significantly longer and wider direct feed Hardox lined hopper is said by MI to provide the largest loading area in its class, while a wide feed opening is said to allow for the free flow of material and high volume capacity. The R230’s optimal chute design is said to minimise potential material spillage and blockages.

Powered by a 225Hp 6 cylinder 2294 CAT diesel engine, the R230 offers Track Mobility, integrated hydraulic folding stockpiling conveyors, travel out walkways requiring no folding or disassembly for transport, and on-site set up time as low as ten minutes.

MI claim that the R230 has excellent access for maintenance and service with standing room inside the Powerpack and an open access service bay. These features are said to save time and reduce costs. With additional options like a radio remote control for tracks, top deck and bottom deck finger screens, or a plate apron feeder rather than a belt feeder, the R230 is described by MI as a “stand-alone powerhouse unmatched in the industry”.
