Niagara F-Class full-size vibrating screen will be showcased at MINExpo 2024

Things promise to be really shaking at the upcoming 2024 MINExpo in Las Vegas. Haver & Boecker Niagara will be showcasing a variety of equipment in booth 8633, including a full-size Niagara F-Class vibrating screen. The company will also be showing off other screening equipment, technology and solutions, including Niagara Exciters. Pulse Diagnostics and Rhino Hyde liners.

"MINExpo presents an exciting opportunity to have great conversations with mining industry members, and for both new and existing customers to see our mineral processing equipment up close," said Karen Thompson, president of Haver & Boecker Niagara's North American and Australian operations. "We are proud to be known not just as an equipment manufacturer to our customers, but as a partner with innovative end-to-end solutions to improve their operation."

Niagara F-Class vibrating screen

The full-size Niagara F-Class vibrating screen is a next-generation F-Class featuring new technology for simplified maintenance combined with maximum performance and longevity.

The upgraded design retains the technical benefits the original F-Class is known for, such as enhanced material stratification and reducing blinding and pegging.

It is now primarily manufactured with vibration-resistant lockbolts instead of the traditional welding used in previous designs. Lockbolts are more effective at maintaining structural integrity during the demanding load-bearing, high-vibration operation of a vibrating screen, while making maintenance more convenient, safer and cost-effective. Bar rails are now fastened to the cross beams with lockbolts, making them easy to exchange if they become worn. The machine's double eccentric shaft assembly creates a constant stroke to maintain g-force during material surging, providing constant material stratification to ensure product specification. It also creates a dynamically balanced system that transmits virtually no vibration into the structure—or chassis—preserving the integrity of the structure while also allowing for multiple machine installations.

Niagara Exciters

The company will also exhibit Niagara Exciters, the company's signature brand of vibrating screen exciters. They provide increased service life and reduced maintenance, coming standard on Haver & Boecker Niagara's high-capacity exciter-driven vibrating screens—the XL-Class and L-Class. The company engineers Niagara Exciters to set the required stroke, frequency and exact static moment for each application for improved screening performance.

Pulse Diagnostics

Also on display will be the company's Pulse Diagnostics portfolio, which monitors the health of vibrating screens and identifies issues before they become critical, improving operations' productivity and proficiency. The suite combines Pulse Vibration Analysis, Pulse Condition Monitoring and the Pulse Impact Test to give mining producers a more holistic view of their individual machines and allow them to maximize uptime and screening efficiency through planned maintenance. Booth visitors can see Pulse Diagnostics firsthand at the interactive "Check Your Pulse" kiosk.

Rhino Hyde liners

The company will also highlight Rhino Hyde liners, originally debuted at AGG1. Rhino Hyde liners are a critical component in the mining setup process and offer superior abrasion resistance when installed on key wear areas of chutes, hoppers, vibrating screens and more. They are essential for reducing wear on equipment at each point of the operation, from hauling to screening and material handling.
