Productivity increase claimed for new impact crusher

The I-140 horizontal impact crusher with variable speed gives recycling, mining and quarrying operators ‘unprecedented levels of production’, the manufacturer claims.

Its market launch follows two years of testing.

The flow of material has been improved by increasing the width of components as the material moves through the machine.

An electronic control system monitors and controls the speed of the rotor and regulates the heavy duty vibrating feeder (VGF) with integrated pre-screen to maintain a consistent feed of material into the CR032 impact chamber for optimal crushing conditions. Material from the integrated pre-screen can be diverted to a stock pile via the optional by-pass conveyor, or it can join the crushed product on the main belt.  Standard hopper capacity is 6m³.

Terex Finlay product manager Alan Witherow said: “The introduction of the Terex Finlay I-140 represents a significant step change in our family of impact crushers. Our field test results of extensive testing have recorded significant productivity increases depending on the application, over the model that it replaces. The enhanced material flow process of the plant represents a significant step change to our engineering ethos and in due course will be extended to encompass our range of impact crushers.”
