EvoQuip launched the Bison 170 as the latest addition to its jaw crusher range.
With its 27.5-in. x 19.6-in. jaw chamber and diesel-electric drive technology, the Bison 170 helps customers optimize their operations while meeting both economic and environmental goals, according to EvoQuip.
Suitable for both natural rock and recycling applications, the Bison 170 has a range of environmentally friendly features that also offer customers value, high performance, ease of use and maneuverability, the company adds.
Diesel-electric drive technology
The Bison 170 utilizes a fuel-efficient diesel-electric drive system, with an onboard generator to power the plant. It can also be plugged in and driven from an external power source such as mains power, which allows for zero emissions processing.
This enables customers to meet regulatory requirements and support their own sustainability goals, EvoQuip says. The engine and power unit can be removed completely, allowing the plant to be powered from an external source with no combustion engine on board. The Bison 170 also offers users reduced noise pollution.
Enhanced efficiency and maneuverability
The Bison 170 can run in reverse for asphalt recycling and provide an unblock/jog function to clear a blockage. The deflector plate, fitted as standard, provides belt protection by allowing uncrushable objects to pass through the crushing chamber onto the discharge belt. Finally, the ability to maneuver the machine from site to site and its intuitive control system ensure transport and set up times are minimized, while uptime is maximized.
“We are delighted to add the Bison 170 to our jaw crushing range,” says Andrew Armstrong, product manager at EvoQuip. “With a potential output of up to 110tph and low fuel consumption, the Bison 170 is a high performing, environmentally friendly machine that aligns with the EvoQuip ‘Think Green, Think EvoQuip’ sustainability campaign.”
