Revolutionizing Mobile Crushing & Screening

The Evolution of Mobile Crushing and Screening

In the past few decades, mobile crushing and screening equipment has gained prominence in industries that require the processing large quantities of raw materials such as aggregates, sand, gravel, and ores. As operations become more complex and environmentally conscious, the demand for mobile equipment that can be deployed and repositioned with minimal time and cost has risen. The Gladiator Range, developed by Powerscreen in 2020, has set a new standard in addressing these challenges by integrating advanced mobile crushing and screening technology with rugged, reliable performance.

Overview of the Powerscreen Gladiator Range

Launched in response to growing industry needs, the Powerscreen Gladiator Range combines the robust and proven functionalities of tracked equipment with regional specific design features and ease of transportation for the North American market. Each unit in the range is designed with flexibility in mind, meaning it can be moved from one site to another and quickly set up with minimal downtime.

The Gladiator Range offers a number of models, each tailored to different segments of the market, including jaw crushers, cone crushers, impact crushers, and screening units. These machines are built on mobile wheeled platforms, ensuring excellent roadability and rapid on-site deployment. The range is also modular, meaning units can be used as standalone equipment or as part of a complete crushing and screening circuit, giving operators more options for integration.

The latest additions of the Gladiator PT600 and Gladiator TP550 add to an already impressive and evolving line-up.

Key Features of the Gladiator Range

1. Modularity and Customization

The Gladiator Range incorporates a truly modular design. Unlike traditional mobile equipment that comes as a pre-configured set, the Gladiator platform allows operators to mix and match various components like crushers, screens, and conveyors. This versatility ensures that the equipment can be tailored to the unique needs of each job site, regardless of application.

2. Quick Set-Up and Easy Mobility

One of the standout advantages of the Gladiator Range is its quick setup time. The mobile, wheeled chassis design means that the equipment can be moved easily around the site or from one project location to another. Time from arrival at the site to operational status is significantly reduced, saving operators time and costs associated with setup and teardown.

3. Superior Performance and Reliability

Powerscreen’s Gladiator Range is not only about mobility and flexibility—it’s also engineered for high performance and durability. For example, each of the crushing units feature advanced, high-capacity chambers that ensure a constant flow of material through the machine, reducing bottlenecks and increasing throughput.

The range also includes state-of-the-art automation and control features, such as Powerscreen’s Pulse telematics system. Pulse allows operators to monitor their equipment remotely, providing real-time data on machine performance, maintenance needs, and fuel consumption. This not only increases uptime but also aids preventive maintenance, reducing the risk of unexpected breakdowns.

4. Energy Efficiency and Sustainability

As sustainability becomes a key focus in modern industry, the Gladiator Range reflects Powerscreen’s commitment to eco-friendly solutions. The equipment features energy-efficient power units that meet the latest emissions standards, helping to reduce the environmental impact of crushing and screening operations.

Applications and Use Cases

The versatility of the Gladiator Range makes it suitable for a wide array of applications across multiple industries. Key use cases include:

Mining & Quarrying

In mining and quarry operations, where the need for crushing and screening high volumes of rock and ore is essential, the Gladiator Range excels. The mobility of the range allows it to be positioned at the quarry face, reducing the need for material haulage and streamlining the process of size reduction. With high throughput capacities, Gladiator machines can handle the toughest materials, including hard rock, limestone, and gravel.

Recycling

The Gladiator Range is also well-suited to the recycling industry, where mobile crushing and screening units are needed to process materials like concrete, asphalt, and demolition waste. The flexibility of the range means that it can be deployed in urban environments, where space is limited, and quickly adjusted to handle varying material types. Recycling operations benefit from the Gladiator’s efficiency and the ability to produce high-quality, reusable materials from construction waste.

Contract Crushing & Rentals

For contract crushing companies, where mobility and quick setup are critical, the Gladiator Range is ideal. Contractors can rapidly deploy the equipment to different sites and configure settings to suit specific client requirements, whether it be producing aggregates for road construction or crushing materials for building projects. The innovative design of the Gladiator units makes transportation between sites cost-effective, while the fast setup times help contractors meet tight project deadlines. This also makes Powerscreen Gladiator machines the ideal choice for rental jobs.

As industries continue to evolve, the Powerscreen Gladiator Range stands at the forefront of the mobile crushing and screening revolution, setting new standards for versatility, sustainability, and performance.
