Weir Minerals adds cone crusher range to its line-up saysWeir, takes the user to the next level of cone crushing.

Weir Minerals has announced the global release of its Trio® Top Performance (TP) cone crusher range to the mining and con- struction aggregate market. Combining aggressive crushing action, high crush- ing force and high power, this new generationoftopperformingconecrushers,

loading options for recorded data including wireless when at an access point. It is sup- plied complete with testing equipment for both the surface and underground areas to ensure maximum functionality. Lourens says the company has also devel- oped a high processing power controller. It acts as a processing gateway and all sens- ing technologies and informational data are channelled through this. “This enables the user to create the requisite artificial intel- ligence which is fed to the control systems of the trackless mobile machinery on a site.” Importantly, it facilitates the enormous inflowof information, the processing thereof and then the presentation of it in a simple, easy-to-understand manner. Booyco Electronics, tel 0861 BOOYCO (266926) designed with self-protecting features to help achieve high levels of mechanical reli- ability under severe operating conditions whilst ensuring the safety of both operator and equipment. “Typically, cone crushers are operated with high tension belt drives that are inefficient, require frequent maintenance and also become OH&S entanglement risk zones. Our engineers at Weir Minerals recognise the importance of energy effi- ciencies and reducing operating costs. With this in mind, they designed a reli- able direct drive option for cone crushers. The direct drive system can be combined with a Variable Frequency Drive to further optimise crusher performance, resulting in significant energy savings.” All Trio TP cone crushers are fully instru- mented with advanced lubrication and hydraulic systems, allowing customers to monitor vibration, motion, temperature, flow and pressure.

nics, says the company’s PDS incorporates very low frequency technology for pedes- trian detection either on surface or underground together with GPS technol- ogy for vehicle detection on surface. It delivers specific warning, controlled slow- down and stopping zone alerts around a vehicle when detecting pedestrians or other vehicles. This is unique in that it is able to achieve zone shaping and create narrow band zones in close proximity on the side of vehicles. It features full self-diagnostics, and has visual and voice display activated in the case of a PDS warning or a system failure. The technology incorporates various down- “Throughout Weir Minerals, we strive to provide customers with the best possible equipment to meet their crushing needs, which is why we developed the Trio® TP cone crusher range,” says Kurt O’Bryan, Global Product Manager for Crushing and ScreeningatWeirMinerals.“ThenewTP cone crushers operate at a higher speed than their predecessors which provides higher reduc- tion with better shaped material.” These compact, robust crushers are built with advanced cone crusher automa- tion technology to ensure continuous high performance and application versatility. All Trio® TP cone crushers feature a steep crushing chamber angle, a large crushing stroke and optimum speed to deliver a finer product through increased interpar- ticle comminution. “Safety has always been the number one priority for Weir Minerals, which is why our Trio TP cone crusher range is

The entire Trio® TP cone crusher range is
