Abstract: A compact modular mobile aggregate processing system configured with no stand-alone inter-plant conveyors for decreasing the footprint of the system and an infinitely adjustable flow diverter(s) for increasing the control of and variation of output characteristics of the system; the system further including specialized folding conveyors.

Abstract: An automated concrete bridge paver with an ability to provide effective control of a concrete paver by a remotely locatable concrete bridge paver operator, which includes a fixed operator control station and a mobile wireless remote operator control station which can be used when the remotely locatable concrete bridge paver operator leaves the operator control station. Mobile wireless remote operator control station includes a video screen which can display live video images from a plurality of remote wireless camera and sensor pods, which can be fixed on the paver or moved about the paver on an articulated arm, with or without a human basket.

Abstract: A horizontal grinder chipper with interchangeable rotors which allows for rapid changing of said interchangeable rotors. Where the interchangeable rotors each are in the form of a cassette which can be easily inserted into and in between a first frame portion 1302 and a second frame portion 1303. A hydraulically actuated pivoting clamshell cassette covering upper portion 920 configured to pivot to an open orientation for removal of a first rotor cassette and for insertion of a second rotor cassette.

Abstract: A mobile recycling plant with a single diesel engine to power the crusher intermittently and the generator continuously, with a return conveyor discharge chute 502 that is automatically stowed by merely folding the top portion of the return conveyor, with an automatic retraction of the return conveyor 130 by merely lower the screening machine, with a dual screen dual angle screening machine, and with a system for deploying a ferrous metal removal system 160.

Abstract: A system for paving a bridge comprising a screed rail configured to support a concrete paver and a plurality of adjustable width barrier brackets to support the screed rail with a bridge barrier, where each adjustable width barrier brackets comprise a rail support bracket and an “L” barrier bracket which allows for width adjustment by translation of the rail support bracket through the “L” barrier bracket.

Abstract: Disclosed is an inclined mobile screen for processing road building materials which provides for easy reconfiguration of the screen from operation configuration to a transport configuration and to a maintenance configuration, which allows for increased clearance between the screen and a feed conveyor without requiring a hydraulic actuator disposed therebetween. Nested telescopic supports are selectively coupled together in an offset connection to allow changes in the orientation of the screen to result in changes in the separation between the screen and the conveyor so as to allow for more clearance therebetween during time of maintenance.

Abstract: A magnetic fastener and wear liner combination for use with material processing equipment for processing aggregate material, where a reverse taper counter bore hole of the wear liner is made to couple and decouple from a magnetic fastener which has a urethane cap, with a urethane cap reverse taper side. The magnetic fasteners are re-useable on replacement liners as the liners need replacement. The attachment and detachment of the magnetic fasteners is made to be simple and secure.

Abstract: A support structure for vibrating screening machine with either a flat screen deck or a crowned screen deck which use a coped and then capped variation of the same prefabricated rectangular tubular cross-member but in rotated orientations. The machine further providing support for a crowned screen media without using a crowned cross-member by providing stringers with differing vertical heights with the centermost stringer having the most height above a flat top cross-member. A plurality of crown straps coupled to a top surface of a cross-member, where the crown straps have a C-shaped portion at one end which has a portion thereof coupled to a top surface of a cross-member.
