The new-generation track-mounted GT125 Vanguard jaw crusher offers increased energy savings, reduced cost of operation and improved reliability, according to KPI-JCI and Astec Mobile Screens.
The GT125 is an ideal mobile crusher for aggregate production, mining, recycling and concrete applications. Its large, dynamically balanced, heavy-duty flywheels produce up to 33 percent more inertia than competitive models, leading to a reduced cost per ton over the lifetime of the machine, the company says.
The updated GT125 features a 27-in. x 42-in. Vanguard jaw crusher with hydraulic drive and reverse capabilities, as well as full hydraulic closed-side-setting adjustment. The crusher’s fixed hopper design allows for a rapid setup time, while a new grizzly feeder cassette allows for the replacement of the grizzly section without removing hopper sides. The unit comes with easily-replaceable grizzly bar and finger deck options for enhanced application flexibility and versatility.
An ultra-sonic level system provides continuous feed to the crusher, reducing surges and lowering wear costs. A 7-in. Digsy 7LE controller offers increased random access memory and memory. Updated bearing housings now use NGLI 02 grease, making regular maintenance easier and more convenient for the producer, the company says.
A simple manual folding head section on the discharge conveyor reduces the footprint of the machine, reducing costs when shipping overseas, adds KPI-JCI and Astec Mobile Screens.
