www.rockproducts.com ROCK products • August 2016 • 57 EQUIPMENT & TECHNOLOGY CRUSHING & BREAKING Weir Minerals announced the global release of its Trio Top Performance cone crusher range. Combining aggres- sive crushing action, high crushing force and high power, this new generation of top performing cone crushers takes the user to the next level of cone crushing. "Throughout Weir Minerals, we strive to provide customers with the best pos- sible equipment to meet their crushing needs, which is why we developed the Trio TP cone crusher range," said Kurt O'Bryan, global product manager for crushing and screening at Weir Miner- als. "The new TP cone crushers operate at a higher speed than their predeces- sors which provides higher reduction with better shaped material." These compact, robust crushers are built with advanced cone crusher auto- mation technology to ensure continuous high performance and application ver- satility. All Trio TP cone crushers feature a steep crushing chamber angle, a large crushing stroke and optimum speed to deliver a finer product through increased inter-particle comminution. "Safety has always been the number one priority for Weir Minerals, which is why our Trio TP cone crusher range is designed with self-protecting features to help achieve high levels of mechanical reliability under severe operating condi- tions whilst ensuring the safety of both operator and equipment," O'Bryan said. "Typically cone crushers are oper- ated with high tension belt drives that are inefficient, require frequent maintenance and also become OH&S; entanglement risk zones," O'Bryan explained. "Our engineers at Weir Minerals recognize the importance of energy efficiencies and reducing oper- ating costs. With this in mind, they have designed a reliable direct drive option for cone crushers. The direct drive system can be combined with a Variable Frequency Drive to further optimize crusher performance, resulting in sig- nificant energy savings." The Trio TP cone crushers' unique combination of high flow, high pivot point, large throw and large head diameters results in superior perfor- mance. "All of our Trio TP cone crushers are fully instrumented with advanced lubrication and hydraulic systems, allowing customers to monitor vibra- tion, motion, temperature, flow and pressure," O'Bryan said. Weir Minerals, www.trio.weir, 720-366-9743, fred.gross@ weirminerals.com Weir Minerals Launches Trio TP Cone Crusher Range The new C-1540 direct drive cone crusher is the latest addition to the Terex|Finlay range of tracked mobile cone crushers. It was developed to sat- isfy the requirements for any aggregates producer or contract crusher looking for a high output capacity machine that provides large reduction ratios and an excellent cubical shape in the surface ore mining and aggregate industries. The new model incorporates the proven Terex 1000 cone crusher that can accept an all in feed and features direct variable speed clutch drive and "on the fly" hydraulic closed side set- ting (CSS) adjustment. A key feature of the chamber is an overload protec- tion system with automatic reset that permits uncrushable material to pass through and be discharged efficiently from the machine. The feed-in box to the chamber is fitted with an ultrasonic level sensor that is calibrated to the feeder to ensure that the chamber is consistently choke-fed for maximizing throughput and minimizing crusher wear. These features all combine to give operators an efficient and aggressive crushing action, high performance and low cost per ton. The standard 5-cu.-m (6.5-cu.-yd.) hopper/feeder on the plant has been designed with a low feed-in height so that the machine can be fed directly either by primary crusher, excavator or shovel. A key feature of the hopper is the standard automated metal detec- tion and a purge system that has been designed to protect the cone chamber and reduce downtime by removing metal contaminants via the purge chute. "We are continually communicating with our customers through several forums and the introduction of this machine is a direct result of this ongoing pro- cess," said Alan Witherow, Terex|Finlay product development manager. "This exciting new model builds upon the success of our current C-1540 prescreen model, C-1545/C-1545P and C-1554 cone crushers. The heart of [it] is the Terex TC-1000 cone crusher, which is world-renowned for its flexibility, ver- satility and outstanding performance."
