ALLU equipment is focused on businesses transforming their green credentials, as less material transported to the jobsite means a reduction in fuel consumption.

At the heart of the ALLU offering is a business focus based on ‘Transforming the way you work’.  This essentially translates into efficiency through the solution being a one-stop-shop process enabling the screening, crushing, aerating, mixing and loading all in a one-step operation. This also enables the transforming of profitability as less material goes to landfill resulting in less expenditure in haulage costs and landfill fees. The re-use of material on site also means that there no need to purchase virgin material due to the recycling and utilization of left over materials and the generation of an income from it.

Additionally, ALLU equipment is also focused on businesses transforming their green credentials, as less material transported to the jobsite means a reduction in fuel consumption, less material to landfill and the greater efficient utilization of waste materials leading to the support of sustainability. Vitally, this is accomplished as ALLU equipment helps transform any carrier – excavator, wheel loader, skid steer etc – into a multifunctional tool that will screen, crush, mix, aerate, pulverize and load all in a one-step operation.

In order to both show the breadth of the offering, and to show at first-hand how ALLU is able to help transform the way businesses work, the following equipment will be exhibited at the show.

• ALLU Transformer DL 2-09 with 8 mm TS blades (the thinnest blade model)
• ALLU Transformer DH 3-17 with 16/32 TS blades
• ALLU Transformer DH 4-17 with 25/50 TS blades
• ALLU Transformer M 3-20 with 50 mm TS blades
• ALLU Processor 300HD

The patented unique TS blade structure has been developed by ALLU which has long been a pioneer in developing techniques of this kind. The TS blades are a modern development for the screener / crusher market, with ALLU set to deliver new levels of efficiency and productivity with the new blade variations. This new blade structure also will further enable customers to utilize their ALLU Transformer in more than way.

The ALLU Processor is a power mixer attachment which converts any excavator into a powerful and versatile mixing tool capable of penetrating and effectively mixing a variety of difficult materials. Materials suited for the attachment range from clay, silt, peat, sludge and sediment, to dredged material and contaminated soil. Fitted to, and powered by the excavator’s hydraulic system, and benefitting from its ability to reach difficult or soft areas, the Processor 300 HD is able to mix materials everywhere the excavator goes. This means that binders or chemical agents can be delivered to the area of the highest mixing shear by an attached 80mm diameter pipe, and injected via a nozzle located between the mixing drums.

ALLU Group Inc. announced the appointment of Edison Rocha as its new vice president of distribution and marketing for the United States and Canada. Rocha is responsible for increasing development of distribution channels, as well as marketing throughout North America.

Rocha brings almost 25 years of experience in construction equipment sales, dealer development and marketing to this position, including 11 years with Sandvik Mining & Construction, where he held positions in aftermarket and sales management in South America and USA — most recently as a division sales manager for the United States. Prior to that, Rocha worked in sales and sales management for Linck Machines and Servcorp International.

“I couldn’t be more pleased to have Edison join our team in North America,” said Edgar J. Chavez, president North America of ALLU Group Inc. “With his years of experience and knowledge not only in sales of heavy equipment, but also in managing equipment distributor channels, we are well-positioned to strengthen our position in North America.”

Fragment size is based on screening comb distance, according to ALLU.

ALLU TS drum used on its Transformer screener crusher attachments has screening blades that spin between screening combs. The space between the combs determine product size.

Updated blade structure promises increased levels of versatility, efficiency, and productivity, according to the company.

TS drums are available with two different blade types: standard blades for screening and axe blades for crushing or shredding. Fragment size is based on screening comb distance, which is easy to change between screening jobs for more versatile processing. The latest development to the ALLU TS assembly enables a greater number of fragment sizes from same unit. The single blade setup positions two or three blades in a single position, with a screening comb between every blade. Operators can now double or even triple the blades and combs, allowing up to three times more fragment size variations from 8mm up to 105mm.

ALLU Group will have its experts on hand in Central Hall booth #C20326 at ConExpo-Con/AGG 2020, March 10-14, 2020, in Las Vegas. Visitors will learn how ALLU Transformer screener crusher attachments and the company’s new TS blade structure will transform unusable dirt, construction waste and green waste into valuable material, ultimately transforming the way contractors and producers work.

More Fragment Sizes with Advanced ALLU TS Blade Structure

ALLU’s TS blades are an advanced development for the attachment screener/crusher market. With the ALLU TS drum, screening blades spin between screening combs. The end product size is defined by the space between the combs. And now an updated ALLU TS blade structure has been developed that delivers increased levels of versatility, efficiency and productivity, according to the manufacturer.

What is the ALLU Transformer?

ALLU Transformer attachments work with wheel loaders, excavators, skid steers and backhoes to screen, crush, pulverize, aerate, blend, mix, separate, feed and load materials all in one stage — increasing an operation’s efficiency and profitability. The unit is designed to process wet or dry materials quickly and efficiently, reducing cycle times and resulting in increased production and substantial savings on operating costs.

A US mineral company recently began using an Allu Transformer M 3-20 material processing attachment at its Middleton, Tennessee, US, montmorillonite clay mine. The company purchased the surface mining M-Series screener / crusher attachment from Allu to use fitted to its Hitachi 650 excavator. The attachment has been successfully used for over a year crushing mined clay down to minus 100 mm whilst simultaneously loading haul trucks.

Processing clay at a surface mine can be a problematic task at the best of times. But when the material is montmorillonite and ‘difficult’, things can get very complicated as the clay needs to be processed in order to become a valuable resource. The mining company in question, located in Middleton, Tennessee was faced with the decision to either buy additional land to mine, or purchase a piece of equipment to further aid its processing. This led directly to the mine looking at a new solution to get the clay off the boulders as efficiently and cost effectively as possible.

This led to the purchase of an Allu Transformer M 3-20, which has enabled the company to be able to access clay that it could not previously mine, as well as process clay from boulders. It has also enabled the company to mine land that was not currently being used, and process the waste material that was being stockpiled.

The attachment is a multi-faceted tool for mining and process industry applications. Powered by the carrier machine (an excavator or wheel loader of up to 160 t), the hydraulic attachment provides quick and efficient production techniques, solves chute blockages and other material flow problems, and easily assists with the processing and transport of wet, sticky or frozen material. By sizing material and removing problematic and damaging waste rock at the initial stage of the process, the Allu M-Series eliminates double handling of material and contributes to an operation’s maximum efficiency. It also helps protect conveyor systems and primary / secondary material processing equipment, and ultimately saves time and money.

The attachment is able to effectively crush and load at the same time, which results in the Middleton clay mine benefitting from reduced cost and operational downtime, with a one-man operation being able to run the operation. Furthermore, the mine has directly benefitted from using material that was considered not useable, and the company is therefore able to mine existing areas, saving the mine from acquiring and striping additional land.

The Middleton Mine has used the M-320 for over a year, and encompasses it in its entire operation.
