Screen Titan
Pegasus MS842W
1How many yards of topsoil or gravel can I screen per hour with the Screen Titan?
There are many factors to answer this question correctly whether you are using the Screen Titan Ultra or Screen Titan Mini. These questions include the following:
● How wet is the material?
● What size machine are you using?
● What size screens are being used
You can use the following example as a benchmark: Under average conditions and using a 2” square mesh screen on top and a ¾” X 5” slotted screen on bottom, an excavator loading the top and a (removed the word “large” since a large backhoe can’t get into the recovery area of a Mini) backhoe or front end loader removing from the recovery area: 100+ yards per hour with the Ultra and 50+ yards per hour with the Mini.
2How long can the Screen Titan run on a tank of fuel?
The Screen Titan Ultra can run 8-10 hours on a single tank of fuel and the Screen Titan Mini can run 6-8 hours on a single tank of fuel.
3How do I set up the Screen Titan when at my location?
Both the Screen Titan Ultra and the Screen Titan Mini have hooks above the wheel system to lift and lower. The system as a whole is designed with pull pins. All you have to do is lift the screener on the wheel end, pull the pins, lower the machine and the wheels roll away. Just lift the screener and the wheels roll back into place. Simple enough… You can even remove the 2 bolts to completely remove the wheel system if you need to.
4What size vehicle do I need to be able to haul the Screen Titan Ultra or Screen Titan Mini around?
You’ll need a 1 ton truck for the Screen Titan Ultra and you’ll need a ½ ton truck to haul around a Screen Titan Mini.
1What’s the difference between the Pegasus MS842W and the IMS SW348?
There is no difference aside from the name! The Pegasus MS842W was once a Metso product called the SW348 and manufactured in Ireland. About 5 years ago Metso took the decision to move their manufacturing facility to Finland and, at the same time, decided to discontinue making the SW348 and concentrate on their tracked screen plants. As part of their redundancy agreement, the folks at the Irish facility worked out a deal with Metso which allowed them to continue to build the screen plant with the stipulation that the name be changed. This brought about the formation of the Irish Manufacturing Services (IMS), and the re-naming of the SW348 to the Pegasus MS842W. So the skilled workers who have constructed this unit for 15 years are the same ones building it today.
2Why is the Pegasus MS842W a cost-effective aggregate screener purchase?
There are many reasons why the Pegasus MS842W is a cost-effective aggregate screener but the biggest is its surprisingly affordable cost coupled with its portability. The fact that you can easily tow the unit from one location to another frees up your float for other uses and saves paying for expensive self-propulsion. This, combined with its heavy duty design, high production output, durability and 15 year proven track record as a great investment, make it possibly the best deal on a screen plant available in the industry today.
3What type of work is the Pegasus MS842W best suited for?
The Pegasus MS842W is ideally suited for small to medium sized contractors and aggregate producers. It is a medium to high output screener of 150-200 ton per hour (TPH) and up to 300 TPH in ideal conditions. It has a high output 8’ x 4’, four bearing, double deck, positive action screen, large capacity hopper and 3 hydraulically folding product conveyors that ensure more tonnes per hour throughput than other competing products.
4How do you ship the Pegasus MS842W?
The Pegasus MS842W is shipped out of a port in the UK and our quote includes delivery door-to-door unless you prefer to pick it up at your port or terminal and transport the unit from there yourself.
Track Pugmill
1What can the IMS Tracked Pugmill help produce?
The IMS Track Pugmill is fitted with a twin shaft mixer for high production and anti-surging to produce high quality material blending. The material blending is mainly for stabilizing roads and consists of water, cement, lime with the option of being used for blending at asphalt plants, cold emulsified asphalt mixing (Cold Mix) to Roller Compacted Concrete (RCC) and flowable backfill.
2How long does it take to set up?
The IMS Tracked Pugmill is a high production, affordable track mounted machine that offers a fully hydraulic setup between transport and operating mode with the advantage of self loading onto transporters and site mobilization.
3What if I don’t need the device as a pugmill?
When not required as a pugmill, the pughead can be removed and used as a sixteen meter track conveyor, one that can potentially be fed with either a loader, crusher or screen. The unit can also be fitted with its own two deck screen box that offers flexibility in plant management and utilization of capital instead of only offering a single plant function (like many other pugmills).
4How safe is the IMS Tracked Pugmill?
Safety is something that the whole unit was focused around. More specifically, the unit is equipped with an emergency stop system from the factory. The system renders the plant inoperable when activated, providing added safety for the operator.
