    Portable Crusher?

    I'd be reluctant to use an impact crusher on basalt as the wear factor would probably be way too high. Basalt goes through a jaw well and crushes nicely to a good shape usually. A Komatsu BR300 is an older jaw crusher which, in its day, was a very reliable unit, if quite low production. Its like...

    Portable Crusher?

    I don't know the US dealer or the origin of this exact crusher element, buit I do know they've been made in China for years now, but also made under licence in many other countries because its a good unit within limitations. I find resellers are less than forthcoming with the real news on these...

    Portable Crusher?

    Almost all demo recyclers lose most of their profitability in the pretreatment process. Usually I find by the time they have the feedstock down to a size and shape suitable for crushing, its small enough already and hardly needs crushing! The key to making money from this must be in the least...

    Portable Crusher?

    I had some contact with Herr Norbert Feichtinger at a European Expo a couple of years ago and I think he was a senior engineer with the Rockster company. Certainly he was an impressive guy with a huge knowledge of the challenges operators routinely faced. I watched the demos, asked him questions...

    Tracked Jaw Crusher

    Clown If you took the time to read this thread you'd see it was about 21st century technology, tracked mobile crushers and not some c****** built piece of junk Zoneding? So you copied a European design but did you copy their metallurgy? Do you even know how? Can you buy a bearing in your...

    Pity you can't edit these posts, I wasn't having a shot at you yfcrusher and just want to make that clear. I'd welcome anyone to have a shot at any crusher product but I think its proper to do it in a clear way with the issues spelled out and not just in an outburst with no substance. My...

    I Wanta big crusher!

    Its a real shame if he's going to bad mouth he can't do it in a way which suggests he's been to school in his life. The Chinese crusher elements have become quite popular here in New Zealand, mainly because of a super low price in comparison to real crushers. There's usually a certain type of...

    Need help from the Aussies ...

    If you're still looking for parts for this, try using the Komatsu WA350-1 parts book? I'm fairly sure they were a modified WA350-1 almost all major parts should fit.

    Portable Crusher?

    It depends on the job specification and the crusher used but with one Nordberg LT100 (a 50 tonne 40" x 30" tracked jaw) the hirer peaked at 487 metric tonnes per hour and averaged 360 over 6 months. (I think a metric tonne weighs somewhere near 2250 pounds). He was producing 6" top size from...

    Portable Crusher?

    I should clarify my post here: I mean two lowboy loads, one for the tracked crusher and one for a tracked two or three deck screener. One man can set it up in an hour (if there's a flat floor) and then he runs the whole lot from the loader - or excavator and loader combo using radio control but...

    Portable Crusher?

    Tracked mobile crushing and screening equipment is the new way of the world Brent. It doesn't always get used the way it should, more than 50% of the time it will eventually end up statically located within the pit and for all sorts of reasons. Mostly we find its because repairing underslung...

    Big Crushing problem! Ideas needed please?

    The wonderful customer sold his quarry in the middle of all this - he doesn't know I know - but is refusing to take or return my calls, or to even reply to my emailed details of our ideas. Its a great life being a salesman! What am I going to say to the next guy who says "here's my problem, I...
