Astec Mobile Screens is the world's premier supplier of innovative screening solutions. The full line of products include mobile screening plants, portable and stationary screen structures and the PEP line of high frequency screens for the quarry, recycle, sand and gravel, mining and other material processing industries. Each screening plant is designed, built and marketed to meet the highest demands in all kinds of applications.

Operating conditions for the material producer can vary and Astec Mobile Screens responds by offering a broad range of operating systems. For the mobile material producer, Astec Mobile Screens offers self-contained track and wheel operating systems in all vibrating incline screens to include the PEP high frequency screens and traditional two-bearing conventional screens. For portable and stationary operations, high frequency screens are available in several portable configurations, along with modular and traditional I-Beam structures for pre-screening and/ or post-screening applications.

In 2008, Astec Mobile Screens continued its focus on the growing reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) market with the well received mobile ProSizer™ recycling plant, as well as track and stationary RAP system configurations featuring a PEP high frequency screen and horizontal impact crusher (HSI). Prices of liquid asphalt and virgin aggregates continue to climb, which is leading the industry to increase the use of RAP in hot mix asphalt (HMA) designs. By increasing RAP in mix designs, asphalt producers can reduce other ingredients, such as liquid asphalt and virgin aggregate, and overall operating costs.

Astec Mobile Screens continued its dominance in the fine screening market with its PEP Vari-Vibe® and Duo-Vibe® line of high frequency screens this past year. For material producers seeking the highest screen capacity in the market for fines removal, chip sizing and more, high frequency screening continues to be the choice. By removing fines dry, without the utilization of water, environmental concerns and operating costs can be significantly reduced. Fines material sizing and removal is a critical factor in aggregate operations so that a more saleable product is produced versus creating waste stockpiles and slurry ponds.
