MEDIUM CAPACITY SLINGERS FOR STOCKPILES
The medium capacity jet slinger shown here is suitable for slinging grain, woodchips, salt, sugar, coal and fertilisers of rates in the range of 100TPH to 500TPH.
DESIGN FEATURES
This machine incorporates all of the Techniplan innovations to slingers such as the quick belt change facility, constant belt length and tension under all trajectory angles, and correct loading geometry independent of luff angle. This jet slinger has been designed to allow the endless belt to be replaced with minimum dismantling of the machine, and without the need for cranes. The machine jacks itself apart for belt changing by means of hydraulic cylinders. Belt changeover can be carried out within an hour by two men working on the integral platform.
The jet slinger incorporates a ball bearing slewing ring for smooth slewing motion. Directional adjustments are controlled by geared brake motor driving through a pinion onto the slew ring gear. Luff angle is controlled by hydraulic cylinders.
Electric screws jack can be incorporated as an alternative. Independently free wheeling large diameter deflector sheaves are used to enhance belt tracking. The slinger has an integral body and chute, which can be lined with a variety of wear resistant materials.
Other options available are stainless steel pulleys, bypass chute and electrical cable feeding devices.
Techniplan also manufactures small portable slingers of capacity 50-100TPH as well as high capacity slingers up to 1000TPH.

INNOVATIVE QUICK BELT CHANGE FACILITY
These jet slingers incorporate an innovative solution for the quick change-over of conveyor belts. These machines have been specifically designed to allow the endless belt to be replaced with minimum dismantling of the equipment and without the need for cranes. The trajectory luff mechanisms are used to lower the slinger into the change-over position. Belt change-over can be effected by two men in under an hour.
MODERN DESIGN
These machines are used for continuous stockpiling of woodchips. Unique design features include constant belt length and tension and well as correct feed geometry under all angles of luff. The slinger incorporates a ballbearing slewing ring and has individually rotating hold down rollers. The integral jet slinger main body and feed chute is constructed from stainless steel for long life.
