Attendees of the 2011 CONEXPO-CONN/AGG in Las Vegas earlier this year were among the first to see Atlas Copco’s new line of track-mounted mobile crushers and screeners suitable for demolition, quarrying and road construction applications. The product range covers jaw crushers, impact crushers and cone crushers with a crushing capacity from 242 to 606 tons per hour and includes screeners with a capacity of 242 to 485 tons per hour.
Atlas Copco’s four models of Powercrusher jaw crushers incorporate the unique “Quattro Movement.” Quattro Movement is made possible by an up-thrust toggle plate position. This causes a figure-eight motion in the moving jaw, which increases the feeding capacity and also produces a post-crush at the crusher outlet.
There are six Atlas Copco Powercrusher impact crusher models, all of which use optimized geometry in the crusher box with hydraulically-adjustable swing beams. The result is a minimal percentage of oversized material, and high reduction ratios and throughputs.
The Atlas Copco PC 1000 cone crusher features cones that are compact units designed to accept an “all-in” infeed. This all-in feeding increases the particle-on-particle crushing, which in turn increases the quality of the end material shape, decreases wear and can eliminate the need for pre-screening. The complete Powercrusher line includes eleven different models of rock crushers and six screener models.
