new possibilities in crushing, sizing and material handling, it says. Complementing these innovations is Astec’ s comprehensive aftermarket support, built to keep equipment running efficiently throughout its entire lifecycle.
Big crusher for a big stage
Speaking of crushers, MAGNA™, the Terex brand created to meet the demands of large-scale quarrying, mining and recycling operations, is set to make its first appearance at CONEXPO, with the brand platform to showcase what MAGNA delivers for large-scale operations. We’ re bringing the MT130J, the largest tracked jaw crusher in our range to date, to the industry’ s biggest stage, demonstrating not only the power and efficiency of our equipment but the complete support package behind it to include digitalisation and aftersales solutions.”
The MT130J has been engineered for high-output quarry and mining applications. Designed to operate as a standalone primary crusher or as part of a mobile or static crushing and screening plant, the MT130J offers flexibility and efficiency for producers seeking to maximise productivity.
For ease of transport between sites, the plant can be split down and reassembled without the need for heavy crane assistance, reducing downtime and costs. Its electrically driven power systems deliver significant cost advantages and environmental benefits, according to the company, while the large 13,000 mm x 1,000 mm opening allows the crusher to handle oversized material, minimising pre-processing requirements.
The automatic variable speed feeder provides continuous choke feeding for optimal performance, and the high-powered electric drive delivers precise chamber controls and reverse functionality for clearing blockages. T-Link telematics and a seven-year data subscription as standard provide operators real-time insights and connectivity, MAGNA adds.
