Abstract: A mobile collapsible screen and cone crusher combination where the screen is pivoted forward and downward for transport and a rubber hopper is coupled to the fines conveyor so as to permit a hinged connection and a sliding connection between the flexible hopper and the fines conveyor. A plurality of flexible matter edge plates are used at the rear of the flexible hopper to facilitate proper compression and expansion of the flexible hopper. A selectable maintenance catch is used to allow the screen to be elevated to an intermediate height for maintenance.

Abstract: A gyratory cone crusher with a conehead centerline and a main centerline being skewed and non-coplanar with respect to each other. The conehead exhibits an elliptical movement path which results in faster throughput and enhanced cubicity performance.

Abstract: A mobile vibrating screen with a readily stowable and pivoting drive system comprising a motor with an attached drive sheave, a belt, a driven sheave and plurality of universal joints which are configured to maintain a connection between the motor and an eccentric weight shaft when said drive system is switched from an operational configuration to a stowed configuration. In an alternate embodiment, some small d parts, e.g. drive shaft, need to be removed and stowed elsewhere on the plant when drive is converted from operation to transport.

Abstract: A tack emulsion pre-coating system for use in hot mix asphalt plant paving which comprises providing a triangular-shaped tack emulsion cart deployed ahead of a paver, and configured to operate under a conveyor from a transfer vehicle supplying the paver with HMA, where the cart comprises a forward spray bar which sprays tack emulsion on a surface located between the wheels of the paver so as not to leave tracks and with rear spray bars for spraying tack emulsion behind the wheels, but not behind a central area between the wheels of the paver.

Abstract: A mobile rock crushing vehicle with a detachable electronic control box which can be automatically lifted, by a pair of hydraulic pivoting arms, off the vehicle, lowered and set upon any vibration damping and isolating mass, such as the earth, all by moving a hydraulic lever. The pair of pivoting arms further automatically configures a reduced-vibration transmitting connection when the electronic control box is set upon the ground.

Abstract: A multi-use asphalt paving tractor with frame raise capability and a blind-mateable connector to facilitate quick connection with interchangeable attachments for performing the functions of a paver, a mix transfer conveyor and road widener.

Abstract: A multi-stage modular road building equipment system where a first stage base tractor is coupled to an intermediate stage, such as a spreading screw, and a third stage screed road paving tool attachment or other attachment such as a widener.

Abstract: Disclosed is a vibrating material sorting screen with a substantially variable tilt angle and a tilt angle measuring device where the screen has a gear box which is horizontal when the screen is horizontal and inclined when the screen is inclined and further where the gear box has a plurality of oil level sensors or indicators therein which are sized, placed and configured to provide proper oil volume while the screen is oriented horizontally or at various inclines.

Abstract: An HMA plant which uses incidental heating of metal surfaces in combination with hot exhaust gases to pre-heat and pre-dry virgin aggregate material contained in an enclosed container which permits hot dry air to pass through interstices in the virgin aggregate material stored in the container.
