Cedarapids has created the new CRC1350S portable closed-circuit cone and screen plant, which is designed for high production while remaining portable.
The CRC1350S is the largest portable closed-circuit cone and screen plant on the market, according to Cedarapids.
The CRC1350S can deliver high production at lower costs per ton, while remaining permittable with a travel height of 4.27 metres.
“Our focus with the CRC1350S was to address what customers consistently tell us they need: higher production, lower costs per ton and ease of mobility,” said Russ Burns, Cedarapids Sales Director.
“This plant combines power, efficiency and portability to meet those demands head-on.”
The 400 hp TC1300X Cedarapids cone crusher is a key component to its ability.
With improved kinematics and a large eccentric throw, this advanced cone crusher produces quality aggregates with superior shape and cubicity.
TSV horizontal screen
The 2.1-metre TSV horizontal screen complements the cone crusher, which enhances production and accommodates a wider range of applications. Its high G-force oval stroke motion and variable slope operation allow it to outperform traditional horizontal screens.
The CRC1350S has several standard features to enhance the customer experience and operational efficiency.
These include an oversized cone feed hopper with an overflow chute, a straight-line under-crusher conveyor, a metal detector for improved safety, a hydraulically powered transfer chute and various axle configurations to facilitate plant permitting.
The portable closed-circuit cone and screen plant is designed for fast setup and operation, with easy-access maintenance platforms, a hydraulic folding walkway and integrated emergency stop stations to ensure operators’ quick return to production.
Proven performance
In a recent field test, the CRC1350S was used in a high-production railroad ballast application.
The project involved processing drilled and blasted granite material into 2” minus railroad ballast. Material was fed by a Cat 349 excavator into a Powerscreen 32” x 47” jaw crusher with a 5” closed side setting, reducing the granite to 9” minus.
From there, the material was conveyed to the Cedarapids CRC1350S, which was configured to produce three product variations: railroad ballast at 2” x 7/8”, 3/4” stone and 1/2” minus dust.
The CRC1350S produced an estimated 425 tons per hour, split across the three products.
Although the plant demonstrated excellent performance, there is potential for even higher production rates with the use of a larger excavator and minor adjustments to the circuit.
The customer expressed high satisfaction with the CRC1350S’s performance in the rail ballast configuration, highlighting the plant’s significant production capacity and ease of transport.
