increase their flexibility and, more impor-
tantly, reduce operating costs.
Trio Top Performance (TP) cone
crushers
The Trio TP cone crusher has been engi-
neered with a unique combination of
high crushing force, high throw and high
pivot point; these characteristics facili-
tate continuous performance and allow
the operation to maximise its return on
investment.
The machine has a steep crushing
chamber angle, a large crushing stroke,
and operates at optimum speed to deliver
a finer product. The high pivot point pro-
vides a greater reduction ratio at the top
of the head, resulting in greater flexibility
in feed size and higher production. The
large throw crushing action facilitates
maximum throughput and increased
interparticle breakage.
“The crusher is 10% heavier than com-
parable machines, allowing it to accom-
modate an increased throw,” Sukdhoe
says. The robust three-arm frame design,
inside the one-piece cast high strength
alloy steel mainframe of the Trio TP cone
crusher, provides more discharging space
for the crushed material. It also reduces
material build up inside the machine.
A number of integral self-protecting
features provide high levels of mechan-
ical reliability in the harshest operating
conditions. One such feature is the unique
anti-spin device which provides continu-
ous proper alignment of bearings inside
the crusher.
Sukdhoe explains that this device
ensures that the machine will instantly
crush rock as it is introduced to the
crusher.
The advanced hydraulic system on the
Trio TP cone crushers features pre-charged
accumulators and relief valves. This ensures
the safety of both operator and equipment.
The fully-integrated hydraulic console is
equipped with push buttons for moni-
toring and controlling the crushing force,
bowl thread clamping and crusher Closed
Side Setting (CSS) adjustment.
The Trio TP cone crusher is equipped
with temperature, flow and pressure sen-
sors that are integrated into a cloud-based
data management system.“This allows the
creation of an individual crusher main-
tenance and operating profile, further
enhancing performance and reducing
operational costs,” Sukdhoe says.
Ease of maintenance and servicing
has been addressed through the design
of the machine. The compact counter-
shaft box assembly with pinion gear can
be easily removed without disassembly
of the crusher. This also provides a more
structurally stable machine.
The Trio TP range of cone crushers
can be installed as a single machine or
combined with a full product line of Trio
crushers, screens and conveyors to pro-
vide total solutions for stationary, porta-
ble or modular plants.
Trio Vertical Shaft Impact (VSI)
crusher
Engineered for use in tertiary or quater-
nary stage crushing, the Trio VSI crusher
is suitable for a wide range of applications
including the production of high quality
manufactured sand and premium shaped
aggregates.
