NEW EQUIPMENT Metso Nordplant C80 Metso’s Nordberg C Series jaw crushers are engineered to deliver maximum productivity at the lowest operating costs. Reliability combined with great performance, low operating costs, and easy maintenance ensure the best result in a real primary crushing application. The C80 jaw crusher is the primary crushing station for the Nordplant, which comprises primary, secondary, and tertiary crushing modules, as well as secondary and tertiary screening modules. The C80 is intended for use in modular configurations, and has a feed opening of 800mm × 510mm and capacity up to 335 tonnes per hour. The skid-mounted crusher does not require concrete foundations, allowing for quick installation and easy plant integration. Areas where any wear is anticipated are engineered to be easy to replace or protected by sacrificial wear items, ensuring that maintenance is easy and cost efficient over the long lifetime of the crusher. These designs protect the most expensive main components from wear and shorten maintenance time, resulting in higher uptime. Metso partnership The open day was well supported by senior members of the Metso management team who expressed their complete confidence in their regional distributor. “The best partner we want to have is Pilot — we have allied philosophies, especially a commitment to service and support,” said Adrian Wood, vice- president Distribution AGG Business Line. Proof of the rapport that exists between customer and supplier was shown in September last year, when Pilot Crushtec hour, and the heavy-duty apron feeder allows for loading by a front-end loader, excavator, or mobile crusher, while the double-deck scalping screen provides three sizes of product. Suitable for applications as diverse as alluvial diamond gravel screening, downstream processing, and building rubble recycling, the diversity of the MaxiScalp 600 will find applications in mining, quarrying, asphalt, construction, and recycling all over southern Africa.
