supply is available as an option for even
more economical operation. The power
generator can also supply downstream
plants such as a screening plant or a
stockpile conveyor with power.
The MC 120 Z PRO has an independent
double-deck pre-screen with an extra-
large screening surface of 3.5m². The
thorough screening of the fines helps
boost productivity and increases the final
product quality, while also reducing wear
at the crusher. The medium grain can be
passed via the crusher bypass at the jaw
crusher, which further reduces the wear.
To quickly adapt the plant to different
applications, the crushing gap can be
adjusted with a few commands on the 12”
touch panel. This is just one of the plant
functions that is operated using the new
and intuitive control concept, SPECTIVE.
The operator is guided through the menu
step by step. The movement of the MC
120 Z PRO and the control of the feeding
unit are additionally affected via the radio
remote control.
Despite its robust design, the MC
120 Z PRO is very easy to transport. The
pre-screen, chute, and crusher can be
removed to reduce the transport weight.
The crushing plant is quickly placed in
operating position as the hopper walls of
the feeding unit can be folded hydraulically
and are self-locking. Maintenance and
refuelling are also simple as all machine
components can be reached from the
ground or via spacious work platforms.
The MC 120 Z PRO can be customised by
adding optional equipment. For instance,
the crusher unblocking system can remove
jammed material and a rock chisel can
crush larger pieces of rock.

To provide customers with maximum
benefit on static crushing plants,
customisation should be a given. While
customised supply remains a large
source of income for many OEMs, there
has been an increase in the demand for
standard machines over the past few
years for applications with a throughput
requirement of under 600tph. A number
of these standard designs are in part
customised, simply by fitting them with
accessories to suit the application.
Schoeman says that customised static
plants are the solution where higher
outputs are required. “We can supply a
plant that caters for growing demand over
time by instituting throttling of specific
sections of the plant, then delimiting
these sections at a later stage, thereby
obviating the need to invest in two
separate machines. The ability to design
a solution in this way is made possible
by entrenching oneself in the customer’s
business. We also leverage advanced
technology using a plant design program
that maps the customer’s needs. This
has proved to be very advantageous on
greenfields projects where we can ensure
accuracy levels of up to 95% without any
actual working data being provided.”
Mobile crushers are the solution for
contractors who frequently move from
one site to another. One theory is that
with mobile, one takes the equipment
