Recently our South African partners, S&R Enterprises, supplied several Striker mobile scalping screens into the diamond mining industry. The scalping screens supplied were model number SQR2062. The design for the SQR2062’s stems from the feedback we received from the diamond mine companies in South Africa focusing on what they needed in a large scalping machine. The end result was a heavy-duty mobile scalper with a large reinforced feed hopper and apron feeder, extra wide side conveyors, a large screen box with top and bottom decks of equal size and a side tensioning screen mats.

In addition to the needs from the mining companies, Striker also added other features such as a designated hydraulic pump for every function on the machine, allowing maximum hydraulic power to every part of the machine, high-pressure hydraulic hoses for both the feed and return lines. Heavy-duty spherical roller bearings and heavy-duty head and tail drums on all conveyors. Soft start up, soft run down mechanism fitted to the screen box.

Neil McKenna, Striker Business Development Manager, commented; 

”The end result of this research and development project was a mobile scalping screen built for high volume production that is strong enough to withstand the demands of operators in an industry that expects non stop reliable performance”.
