MDS launch new M300 scalping screen
New heavy-duty scalping screen represents major shift for heavy-duty trommel specialist
MDS, a global leader in specialist screening equipment, have announced the launch of the M300, a heavy-duty scalping screen designed to meet the most demanding applications.
Representing a major shift for MDS, who historically have focused on heavy-duty trommels, the M300 brings their design expertise to scalping screens, offering the industry a powerful scalper with double-deck vibrating grid, robustly built for efficiency, operator-friendliness, and performance.
‘Our goal with the M300 is to deliver a machine that sets a new benchmark in operator convenience and operational efficiency,’ said engineering manager Steven Keenan. ‘With the M300, we’ve addressed many of the common challenges in the field, from time-consuming setup to difficult maintenance tasks, all while maintaining the durability and performance that MDS machines are known for.’
The M300 is purpose-built from the ground up, engineered to maximize operational efficiency and minimize downtime. Its fully hydraulic setup eliminates the need for on-site lifting, speeding up set-up times and aiding ease of use, even in the most challenging environments.
A highlight of the M300 is its advanced control system, allowing operators to start or stop the entire plant with the push of a single button. This enhancement greatly simplifies operation, while the swing-out engine design allows for easy maintenance access, minimizing downtime and supporting day-to-day functionality.
The M300 has a heavy-duty, aggressive double-deck grid that has been designed for optimal performance in tough applications. Equipped with a robust T-Bar cassette top deck and mesh bottom deck, the machine delivers precise separation, allowing operators to efficiently screen challenging materials, while the large 1,400mm conveyor belt handles excess capacity with ease, making the M300 a high- performance scalper.
With its compact design and hydraulic folding main conveyor, the M300 is easy to transport between job sites, offering versatility to operators working across multiple locations. Additionally, the hydraulic grid raise system and a variable-speed collection conveyor provide added flexibility, allowing the machine to adapt to a wide range of materials and operating conditions.
The M300 has a high-performance hydraulic system, complete with cast iron pumps, motors, and a hydraulic cooler, to provide long-lasting durability in the most extreme environments.
