POWERSCREEN

A GUIDE TO DUAL POWER

CHOOSE THE FUEL TO SUIT YOU… DIESEL OR ELECTRIC?

DUAL POWER

Powerscreen® Dual Power option gives you an

alternative energy source, letting you choose

which fuel to use, depending upon cost,

location and availability.

This option will be of special interest if you

operate in an area where electricity is more

cost effective than diesel fuel and on sites

where electricity is the preferred energy source.

Powerscreen® Dual Power machines are fitted with

an additional electric/hydraulic drive system which

can be connected into an external electricity supply

once the machine has been setup onsite.

It has been an option across the screening range –

these are marked in the options list on the brochure

pages.

EASY TO OPERATE

Once positioned on-site and connected to an

external electricity source the unit can be switched

to operate on electricity. The track screens retain

all the benefits of a mobile machine.

1400 – with dual power

The Powerscreen® Dual Power machines can

operate on diesel fuel oil or an external electricity

source; reducing diesel fuel oil consumption,

operating costs and, depending on set-up, may

increase machine uptime due to reduced refuelling

and engine servicing.

REDUCED OPERATING COSTS

APPLICATIONS

• In any quarry, mining, sand-pit, coal, washing and

aggregate processing application where a screen is

used

• Electricity only is permitted

• Electricity is freely available or generated on site

• Complete crushing spreads are run using

a stationary genset

• Electricity is preferred over diesel fuel

• Electricity is cheaper than diesel fuel

• Diesel fumes are not permitted, e.g. underground.

• Where environmental, legislative and/or noise

constraints are present.

• In the event of an electricity shortage, the

Powerscreen® dual power screens can continue to

run on diesel fuel oil, or vice versa.

APPLICATIONS

EXAMPLE - POWERSCREEN CHIEFTAIN

2100X BIOMASS

The Chieftain 2100X screen has been

configured specifically for compost, woodchip

and biomass type applications.

Dual Power offers users a choice between

diesel and electric power. The complete

machine can therefore be driven electrically

from generator power or an on-site electricity

supply which is often a requirement in wood

processing facilities.
