The new upgraded Sandvik jaw crusher range is another step forward in ensuring even higher Sandvik-grade performance for customers’ crushing operations, the OEM says.

Merging new jaw crusher capabilities and design with the existing high safety and productivity standards of the entire Sandvik range was a natural next step, according to the company. Sandvik jaw crushers are now better equipped than ever to deliver the performance customers expect from a global leader in mining and quarry solutions.

Martin Johansson, Global Product Manager Jaw crushers, said: “Our new upgraded jaw crushers are now more aligned with the full Sandvik range. They give our customers even more ability to secure safety, improve productivity and availability, reduce costs and accelerate sustainability with a partner they can count on.”

The latest Sandvik jaw crushers come complete with advanced features for plug-and-play primary and tough material crushing, it says. New and improved Sandvik jaw crushers now include even more of the safety, performance, availability and sustainability benefits customers expect from Sandvik solutions. This includes:

• New hydraulic wedge setting adjustment;
• Synchronised retraction arrangement;
• Improved power pack;
• Upgraded guarding;
• New ACS-j monitoring and control system; and
• Clear role-based user documentation.

Upgraded Sandvik jaw crushers are engineered to the same specifications and for seamless compatibility with the full range of Sandvik solutions and now come with a three-year standard warranty, Sandvik added.

Sandvik explained: “The upgrades to Sandvik jaw crushers put even more focus on the commitment to safety that Sandvik is known for. The ability for hydraulic wedge setting and retraction adjustments reduces operator exposure to unnecessary risk. An improved guarding system advances the unique Sandvik uniform safety-engineering integrated in past solutions, ensuring the new jaw crushers are as safety-first and foremost as our customers need them to be.”

New upgraded Sandvik jaw crushers come with a welded main frame and material quality improvements and are delivered complete with everything needed for fast and seamless integration with a customer’s existing operation, the company claims. The smaller footprint, uniformity of structural components and parts, logical service access points and clearer role-based user-friendly documentation ensure shorter times to full productivity with less need for local engineering or additional training.

Sandvik jaw crushers are now also equipped with the new ACS-j system, simplifying monitoring and control of lubrication, hydraulic settings and eccentric shaft bearing temperature. The information is accessible through a web interface, providing customers with easy oversight and control of components and crusher metrics that helps maintain optimal crushing performance and availability through easy troubleshooting.

The company concluded: “Sandvik is proud of the positive circularity impact we make through the design, manufacturing and operation of our jaw crushers. From the high energy efficiency of our main motor to the compact all-in-one footprint to the fully recyclable materials used in their design, manufacturing and operation, Sandvik jaw crushers are a natural fit in sustainable quarry and mining operations.”
