CAMS announce the launch of its Centauro XL 150.69 APR, a high-performance mobile crushing and screening plant.
The equipment, part of the Centauro family line which is characterized by crushing and screening equipments capable of combining a shredder, screen and magnetic iron separator in a single machine it's particularly suitable for heavy duty uses. The Centauro XL 150.69 APR system represents an innovative solution that combines high performance, energy efficiency and environmental friendly solution.
Thanks to its advanced configuration and distinctive features, the equipment meets the most challenging needs in the sector guaranteeing an optimal asphalt recovery and an high-level operational efficiency.
Centauro model versatility allows you to manage materials that are difficult to handle in the meantime ensuring a constant productivity even in non-optimal working conditions.
What makes the Centauro model crushing equipment really special is its patented technology capable of exploiting that harnesses shear effort to crush materials. This technology can reduces energy consumption, operating costs and environmental impact, without compromising the crushing process efficiency.
The Centauro XL 150.69 APR, as mentioned above, combines two shredders, a magnetic iron separator and a vibrating screen in a single solution. The equipment come with various automatic programs for shredding different materials and is also able to treat wet materials, recovering 100% of the asphalt. The Centauro XL 150.69 APR is equipped with a Caterpillar C9. 3 endothermic diesel engine that complies with the latest pollution regulations (being Stage V licensed), offering high performance in terms of consumption and productivity. In order to reduce its environmental impact, the plant is equipped with a single generator set powering the electrical components allowing a 70% reduction in fuel consumption compared to traditional hydraulic machines while maintaining an hourly production constant level. This feature makes the CAMS model unique on the market compared to its competitors.
The bitumen and aggregate recovery system of the Centauro XL 150.69 APR is a new concept compared to traditional machines: the shredder works at low RPM and therefore breaks up the material without altering its granulometric curve. The equipment disintegrates the material without shattering as it happens with hammer machines, thus allowing total recovery of bitumen and aggregate.
Material disintegration, compared to crushing, provide the plus of optimal separation of bitumen from the aggregate, in favor of a better classification of the finished product and a 100% recovery of the material. A quickly spinning shredder does not allow you to recover everything because a large part of the volume is occupied by the filler, which among other things bring the risks of clogging the filter and drums.
The Centauro XL 150 APR technology on the other hand turning slowly produces clean material and does not damage the system with less energy consuming. Therefore, the output material is of good quality and with a much higher percentage of bitumen recovered compared to traditional systems. Furthermore, operational well-being should also be highlighted: this is a technology that makes no noise, no dust, and no vibrations, but which above all is electric so it maintains low emissions and consumption
Another feature of the Centauro XL 150.69 APR equipment not to be underestimated is related to its logistic and handling since it is a mobile machine on tracks and in the shapes permitted by the road code.
As a consequence its transport on a trailer and its handling on the construction site are easy. Another not insignificant aspect is its modularity that allow you to decide whether to insert the secondary shredder according to your needs.
