Telestack introduces its mobile material handling solutions
Telestack says its emphasis is to provide mobile solutions to a wide customer base with a complete range of equipment to meet the needs of any application. Telestack has extended its wide range of equipment, with the design and manufacture of an array of tracked stockpiling conveyors. The tracked stockpiling conveyors range from 200TPH up to 600TPH+, lengths from 18 metres (60ft) to 24 metres (80ft) and materials from 0-2mm sand to 0-250mm stone/aggregate, which ensures the range can suit all applications and budgets. Telestack has been designing and manufacturing mobile material handling equipment for many years. This has been key to the success of this current range, as the design has been perfected to reflect the ever changing needs of the customer and the range of applications. This ensures that the products are proven within the field and have been developed on first-hand feedback from site operatives and site managers. Since the implementation of the tracked crushers and screeners within the quarry market, the natural progression would be to include a tracked stockpiling conveyor within this operation, which offers a complete mobile system and offers unrivalled flexibility and cost savings for the operator.
A key benefit for these tracked stockpiling conveyors is that they ensure the elimination / reduction of a wheel loader on site. The conveyors can be fed from the primary crusher/screener and stockpile the material up to heights of 11 metres and a conical capacity of up to 3,500 tonnes (based on bulk density 1.6t/m3
).
This eliminates the use of a dedicated wheel loader for moving the material from the crushing/screening operation. Depending on the specific operation, the wheel loader can be used for other tasks on site during this period, which will greatly reduce the operator costs and fuel consumption. Typically, crushing and screening operations would stockpile with the wheel loader, however, it is clear that this offers more

problems on site. The processed material becomes compacted and contaminated , as the wheel loader drives up and down the stockpile (as shown above). This greatly affects the grade of the material and the material can become very dense and difficult to move when required. Also, there are health and safety issue’s when driving the wheeled loader up and down the stockpile, with risk of possibly injuries for operators and damage of equipment on site. Using a Telestack reduces the noise and dust emissions on site which are key environmental issues. The tracked conveyor reduces these issues significantly and ensures an efficient and reliable alternative to the much higher costs (labour, fuel, maintenance etc) of a standard wheel loader. In terms of transportation of the units, they can be easily tracked on-off a flat bed low loader for site-to-site transport, which ensures that they can be used on a variety of sites at a minimum cost. As with all of Telestack products, these units can also be containerised, which greatly reduces transport costs if being sent around the globe. Also, the robust design and stability of these units ensure that they can be easily tracked around the site in any conditions, which minimal set up time required. As with many of Telestack’s units, the tracked stockpiling conveyors can be customised to meet the needs of any application with optional extras including, dual power, all electric, radio remote control, impact protection liners, extended feed- boot, hydraulic folding tail section (for ease of transport) and many more. Telestack is continuing to promote these products as an alternative to the higher cost wheel loader which is primarily used on sites at the moment.
