Several features and options of the MSP Cone Crusher help producers lower operating costs. The patented dust seal system is equipped with an auto-greas- er and protects the crusher's dust-sen- sitive parts, leading to longer service life, fewer spare parts changes and lower maintenance costs, noted the manufacturer. All adjustments and operations are fully automated. An easy-to-operate control panel that only requires one individual to operate as well as a wireless remote control gives plant operators the convenience and freedom to make changes remotely. All producers want minimal down- time for processing optimal amounts of material. The MSP delivers, ulti- mately leading to a faster return on investment. The hydraulic adjustment system aids not only in setting quick changes, but also in fast wear parts changes. The patented locking system allows for liners to be changed in less than two hours. MSP Cone Crushers are built to make an operation run more smoothly by being easy to operate and maintain. The simple control panel provides the necessary information to properly run the crusher. For example, it shows the exact cone setting to allow the operator to stay on top of a critical set point. To enhance a crusher's life and main- tain optimal crushing capacities, an automatic liner change reminder is included in the system. When the new mantle and liners are installed, the automated reminder is reset. As the crusher operates, the system will track production capacities and cal- culate the liner wear rate. When the cone liners reach the maximum wear point , the system sends a flashing reminder to "change cone" on the cone setting meter. After the wear parts are changed, the automated liner change reminder is simply reset and the pro- ducer can continue efficient, reliable crushing. McLanahan Corp., www.mclanahan. com Sandvik Expands Range of Scalpers Sandvik Construction expanded its range of scalpers with the launch of the QE241 heavy duty scalper. Compact in design and easy to transport, produc- ers benefit from the same outstanding, user-friendly features from its premi- um range of scalpers, yet in a smaller scale, according to the company. "We have developed the QE241 based on customer feedback. Although tar- geted primarily at the European mar- ket, it will be the ideal solution for our smaller end users where performance, versatility, transportation and setup times are most important. The QE241 also benefits from Sandvik's long his- tory of mobile scalper development as well as sharing common character- istics from its larger siblings including a two-way split configuration option and sequential start-up," the company stated. Capable of scalping before or after a small crusher, the QE241 features a heavy-duty variable speed belt feed- er and a highly aggressive 11- x 4-ft. ( 3 , 5 0 0 - x 1 2 4 0 - m m ) d o u b l e - d e c k screenbox. This offers the largest scalp- ing area in its class, which combined with the banana-type bottom deck arrangement, provides a highly effec- tive and efficient screening solution like no other, the company said. The 47-in. (1200-mm) wide conveyor can handle the toughest oversize mate- rial and two hydraulically folding side conveyors handle the fines and midsize products. With a wide choice of screen media available, the QE241 offers customers a highly versatile unit that can be con- figured to suit the specific requirements of the application. Its robust chassis has been designed to be compatible for two-way or three-way split versions, a unique feature in this product category. "The safety and comfort of use is of par- amount importance for our operators," the company said. "A key benefit to our customers is the easy-to-use control system and user interface with sequen- tial start, a common feature across our 1 Series screens and scalpers. The mod- el also comes with two speed track- ing which helps to reduce travel time between jobsites." Designed for ease of transport, the 38,580-lb. model comes complete with hydraulically folding tail and side con- veyors, together with a rigid one-piece hopper for quick set-up times. These features, combined with its compact footprint, make it ideal for producers requiring the need to travel quickly from site to site. Sandvik, www.sandvik.com
