Telestack has unveiled the TCL 2031 tracked mobile conveyor, which the Omagh, Northern Ireland-headquartered manufacturer says is the largest capacity conveyor of its kind on the global market.
Designed to meet the demands of high-capacity material handling with unmatched versatility and strength, the TCL 2031 is a heavy-duty tracked stacking and link conveyor engineered to transform high-throughput material handling on mobile sites.
The TCL 2031 has been developed following the success of many installations on the existing TCL 1031 tracked-mounted stacker, which handles applications of up to 1,000 tonnes per hour and 0–300mm Primary Jaw Crusher operations. The new TCL 2031 is targeted for higher-capacity applications, ranging from 1,500 tonnes per hour to 2,500 tonnes per hour. This unit follows the Telestack legacy of ‘market-leading’ products, which continually push the boundaries to meet the demands of their extensive dealer network and global customer base across various industries.
Built to meet the rising demands of modern crushing and screening plants, the TCL 2031 delivers industry-leading capacity while retaining the flexibility operators need on short-term projects, contract sites and large stockyards.
The TCL 2031 is designed to meet the throughput demands of high-capacity crushers and auxiliary plants. In stacking applications, the unit can stack from 1,500 tonnes per hour up to 2,500 tonnes per hour with a maximum lump feed size of up to 400mm, typically from a high-capacity Primary Jaw crushing application. These tonnes per hour translate to more material on the ground, meaning fewer wheel loader movements and double handling of the material during the operation. The TCL 2031 can achieve over 6,203 tonnes of material in a single conical stockpile and move easily from position to position to meet the demands within the stocking area.
These performance figures translate into a lower cost per tonne, reduced fuel consumption, and the ability to keep high-capacity plants running with a proven, reliable stacking solution, eliminating the need for wheel loaders to move and stack material constantly.
The unit is fully track-mounted, enabling operators to reposition the conveyor quickly around the site for ease of mobility and relocation from ‘site to site’ when needed. The hydraulic folding head and tail sections collapse the machine for road transport to a folded length of 17.68m and a transport height of 4.38m. Alternatively, it can be broken down into shipping containers for long-haul moves if required. Typical on-site setup takes under 30 minutes, allowing teams to react faster to changing site layouts and phasing during blasting and relocation on-site.
For site mobility via the track system, the unit utilises an integrated diesel hydraulic engine with regional engine options from Caterpillar (100kW) or Deutz (86kW), meeting Stage V (Regulated countries) and Stage III (non–regulated countries) standards, all to comply with local emissions regulations.
Once the unit is in position, it is then driven via All-Electric drive motors via an ‘Electric Wrap Drive’ in which 3 x 3-phase power is plugged into the IP 66 Rated Control panel of the TCL 2031 during operation, ensuring maximum efficiency using on-site electrical power or auxiliary power from the existing Jaw Crusher. There are also options for a fully electric system – Telestack ‘Zero’ range (no diesel engine) for certain sites where diesel hydraulic engines are not permitted.
The TCL 2031 combines high capacity with a robust 1,400 mm belt, mining-grade rollers/ scrapers/ bearings, along with tracked mobility, in a single package. This product is designed to ‘fill the gap’ for large quarries, mining, and aggregate operations that utilise high-capacity crushers (mobile / semi-mobile, and static) requiring a mobile stacking solution to effectively handle their large ‘crusher-run’ type material at high capacity, while improving site flexibility and reducing operating costs.
