QS Series Quarry Scalers
3Pages

The QS Series of Scalers takes the best of over 40 years of BTI mining equipment design and combines proven componentry with rugged construction. Features & Benefits Ready for the toughest conditions without need for any conversions or added guarding - this machine is built for the demands of mining. Revolutionary Vibratory Pick Scaling Head brings mechanical scaling to a new level by combining the action of a pry-bar, pick and breaker into a simple robust attachment. Results are production increases of up to 50%, extremely low operating costs, reduced operator fatigue and reduced stress to the carrier. Purpose Built Telescopic Boom The triangular design with 45’ reach, incorporates three 94,000 psi yield strength, 4”OD/2”ID thick walled tubes. Weldment is CNC machined flat to accept the 5 outboard dual flat-roller bogie assemblies (no curved cups) that provide precision clearance and minimal boom play. Heavy Gauge Steel Assembly The vibratory scaling head, boom, upper frame and undercarriage are designed for tough mining environments, with heavy gauge steel assemblies throughout. Massive Counterweight and Ample Storage The massive counterweight and high capacity 269 gallon fuel tank are integrated and protected by a 3/4” steel plate back sheet. This combined with the square geometry of the chassis and the 360 degree continuous swing enables the unit to work with uniform stability in any direction without the need for stabilizers. The entire right front corner of the machine is dedicated to storage providing ample space for tools and supplies. The 269 gallon fuel tank capacity allows for 6 or more 8-hour shifts between fill-ups. Ergonomically Designed Operator Cab The operator station is designed to protect as well as provide the comforts and accessibility necessary to complete the equation for a highly productive unit. The cab meets or exceeds all regulatory standards. The cab, handrails, steps and skid resistant walkways are built to ensure operator safety.

Series Scaler with VP Series Vibratory Pick Scaling Head The patented BTI VP285 Vibratory Pick revolutionizes the approach to scaling. The VP285 is designed to provide efficient and increased production, reduce carrier operating costs and improve safety while addressing the rigorous demands associated with scaling operations. The extra narrow profile, enclosed housing, massive pry-bar profile, floating breaker design, shock absorbing recoil system, and the anti-blank firing system combine to provide the most reliable and effective pick system available. Scaling production can be increased...
