Pre-Wiring And Pre-Piping

Astec mounts, pre-wires and pre-pipes all related components. For easy access, power panels are located in either a separate power room or in the lower level of the control center. CT-Rated cable with UV rating* connects motors and power panels. Cable trays hold the cables and keep them organized and off the ground.

Pre-assembly of parts and components saves setup time. Pre-installed baghouse components are a huge time saver. Fully pre-wired and equipped control houses minimize start-up problems because plant controls have been tested at the factory. These are just some of the ways in which Astec makes sure erection and start-up of your new M-Pack goes smoothly.

Bulkheads And Wing Walls

Save yourself the expense of constructing retaining walls for your loader ramps.

The cold feed bin and the recycle bin both come with full length bulkheads that extend all the way from the top edge of the bin to the ground. Wing walls swing out to retain the sides of loader ramps.

Our bulkheads are 3/16" thick and braced with structural tubing to protect your equipment from damage by loaders. They also keep dirt and debris out of cold feed and recycle bin mechanisms. A walkway in-between the bulkhead and collecting conveyors gives you access to the back of the bins and conveyors for maintenance.

Ladders, Handrails And Platforms

Astec supplies the stairs and caged ladders required to access components for inspection or maintenance. OSHA compliant hand-rails around platforms and along drag conveyor stairs help keep workers safe.

Vulcanized Belts

Astec only uses vulcanized rubber belts. Vulcanized belts not only last longer, but also run quicker, smoother and cleaner by eliminating the metal splice.
