The new Level Assist system from Superior Industries can boost efficiency and cut costs for aggregate plants
2979 Superior Industries has developed a new system that speeds up the tricky operation of levelling a portable quarry plant installation. This new feature automatically levels a plant once the machinery is raised to the necessary height.

Previously operators would have to adjust cribbing and jacks until a level plant was achieved. This operation has to be carried out properly as when operating in an uneven environment, plants can produce material that is out of specification, as well as suffering overstressed bearings and gears, reduced production rates and increased vibration and component wear.

This new feature speeds the process however. Once the plant is in its operating location, the operator hydraulically lifts the machinery to a desired height then engages the Level Assist by switching the control panel from manual to auto mode. The new technology reduces the need for personnel for set up from two or more to one, while also being quicker and more accurate. The cost savings can be substantial as a result, according to the firm.

Superior’s Level Assist technology is an available option for new plants and can also be retrofitted to existing portable crushing, screening and washing plants.

    Pneumatic concrete dowel drills have one purpose – to drill holes. While their intended use is easy to recognize, operation of this equipment isn’t quite so simple. In fact, it’s a bit of a science. That’s not to say they’re difficult to operate. But there are certain best practices and processes to keep in mind for proper drill operation, whether it’s an on-grade, slab-rider or equipment-mounted model. Operators who adopt these guidelines and implement them on every job are rewarded with better performance
