The New Premium QE341 – The ultimate heavy duty scalping system

The new QE341 combines 10 years of experience and customer feedback in the mobile scalper market with well over 100 years' experience in moving materials in the mining industry. A decade on from its first launch, the QE340 has been redesigned to offer a more refined unit, that is more robust and offers increased throughput. The QE341 has been developed with easier setup, operation & maintenance in mind.

The key customer requirements have all been addressed with the new model;

• Stockpiling capacity - increased discharge heights and conveyor lengths means up to 50% more stockpiling capacity
• Ability to handle the biggest infeed - heavy duty apron feeder with increased hopper width
• Free-flow of material with no bottle necks - increased width and capacity of oversize conveyor
• Ease of operation - new colour-coded control panel with sequential start up
• High production - 20% increase in hopper capacity and the uniquely aggressive screenbox action ensure maximum productivity
• Ease of maintenance - screenbox can be raised for bottom deck change, larger and more accessible maintenance platforms
• Safety - compliant with the latest Machinery Directives
• Mobility - improved set-up time with hydraulically folding platforms and one-piece rigid hopper
• Continuity - all screening media from QE340 are compatible with the QE341

The new QE341 complements the larger QE440 within the Premium Scalper range. The QE341 also features a robust crusher-style chassis, and has been designed to be compatible for 2-way or 3-way split configurations along with reversible side conveyors demonstrating the ultimate flexibility of the unit. The screen box jack up facility, also common with the QE440, allows easier access to the bottom deck for maintenance and screen media changes.

One of the major upgrades to the model is the new electrical control system which incorporates a number of features to improve both the operational effectiveness and safety of the machine. The simple easy to use system has colour-coded numerical push buttons and a visual display unit allowing the operator to fully monitor the process. Prestart warnings on all plant functions and an auto start / stop facility together with a three mode selector function; set-up, operation and tracking facility, all ensure that safety, as well as ease of operation, is paramount at all times. The unit is fully radio controlled as standard.

Ideal for contractors requiring the need to travel quickly from site to site, the unit has hydraulically folding tail and side conveyors and now has a rigid one-piece hopper designed for quicker set-up times and improved tail drum ground clearance for tracking.

These new features are aimed at ensuring the QE341 is now as user and environmentally focused as it is productive, efficient and versatile and will soon become the ultimate scalper of choice within the construction and aggregates industries.
