Terex Finlay Launches New Mobile Cone Crushers

Terex Finlay has launched two variants of its tracked mobile cone crusher, the C-1540 and C-1540RS.

The C-1540RS is built around the same common platform as the C-1540, but offers the versatility of a crushing and screening plant on one chassis, the company says. The machine features larger tracks, 12 foot by 5 foot, detachable double deck sizing screen, transfer conveyor modules, recirculation conveyor and fines stockpiler conveyor.

Both machines feature the Terex 1000 cone chamber, which has a 40-inch head size and incorporates a hydraulic setting, tramp release and unblocking system. With the hydrostatic drive and advanced electronic control system, the operator can select from five cone head speed settings, which provides extra protection to the chamber.

The C-1540 and C-1540RS also feature a patent pending, metal detection and purge system. When any metal objects are detected on the feed conveyor, the feeder belt automatically stops and metal detection beams alert the operator. The feeder belt can be hydraulically retracked to its purge position, and then the contaminated section of material is ejected from the machine. Once the contaminated material is removed the machine can resume crushing.

The standard hopper capacity for the machines is 6.5 cubic yards and it incorporates a series of crash bars to reduce impact on the belt. Optional hopper extensions are available and can increase the capacity to 10.5 cubic yards. A drop down rear door for auxiliary crusher feed is fitted as standard.

The C-1540 and C-1540RS are outfitted with heavy-duty crawler tracks and optional radio remote control is available.
