New generation of mobile crushers introduced to North America
Metso Minerals recently announced an entirely new generation of mobile plants for primary crushing. Lokotrack LT3054, LT1315 and LT1415 models combine continuous high crushing capacity, a broad range of process options and user-friendly operation with the latest dust and noise reduction options. According to the company, the new generation Lokotracks are ideal for both high capacity contract crushing and the most demanding quarrying and in-pit crushing applications, and due to a low transport height, the units can be easily transported on a standard trailer. When equipped with an optional over band magnetic separator and pan feeder below the crusher, units work very well for trouble-free processing of recycled materials containing rebar.
With a capacity range of up to 1,000 stph (900 mtph), the new Lokotrack models are an excellent choice for any single- or multi-stage primary and secondary crushing process. They have operating weights from 60 to 70 tons, and are powered by an environmentally friendly Tier III Caterpillar diesel engines.
The Lokotracks are built around proven Nordberg C Series jaw crushers and NP Series impact crushers. The C Series crushers are designed for cost-efficient primary reduction of hard and abrasive materials. They are based on modular, non-welded frame construction, offering the highest possible fatigue strength. The NP Series impact crushers are capable of crushing medium hard rock types, such as limestone, as well as all rock-based recycled materials. Units feature a large feed opening to avoid bridging, a unique triple-wedge hammer retention system for simple and quick locking of wedges, and heavy-duty construction for a long and reliable service life.
To meet precise application requirements, the new Lokotracks can be equipped with several feeder options: a high capacity grizzly (LT3054), a pan feeder / scalper (LT3054, LT1315, LT1415) or a roller grizzly (LT3054, LT1315, LT1415) capable of handling highly viscous feed materials.
The new Lokotrack models can also be equipped with the optional, highly efficient two-deck screen and product conveyors. This enables production of one or two calibrated end products. When equipped with the circulation conveyor, the screen oversize fractions can be returned to the crusher.
Other key features include a new IC700 intelligent control system which optimizes the crushing process for improved performance and product quality, and easier operation and enhanced serviceability. A detachable screen module with two decks that offer the capability for closed circuit operation and the ability to produce a number of different end products, is available as an option.
