Sandvik is connecting its 800i series cone crushers with the latest Automation and Connective System, ACS-c 5 as it looks to continue a design philosophy based on evolution of parts, materials and technologies to improve the reliability, availability and productivity customers rely on.

“The upgraded 800i crushers with new ACS-c 5 are a natural next step in setting the bar for crushing,” Javier Valdeavellano, Lifecycle Manager 800i cone crushers, said. “Their ideal combination of high crushing forces, reliability and simplicity make them easier to operate, manage, maintain and service – leading to productivity and uptime gains that are game changers for operational performance.”

The crushers combine robust mechanical design with powerful automation to better support diverse operational roles, Sandvik says. Having access to operational insights, combined with simplicity and reliability, ensure the team’s ability to run a smooth operation while reaching their targets.

Sandvik 800i crushers are designed from the ground up to maximise tonnage of the desired end product. By selecting the right chamber configuration and setting the crusher program for the automation system, operators can simply start crushing.

Sandvik said: “Simplicity of mechanical design is key to maximum reliability and availability. Sandvik 800i crushers have evolved with new mechanical and automation advantages that simplify service and troubleshooting, improve safety, and optimise performance while minimising downtime.”

Upgraded 800i crushers target installed inefficiency in operating mines, as well as in greenfields. For example, in flowsheets including three-stage crushing and conventional grinding, assisting SAG/AG circuits with pebble crushing, and optimising particle size distribution for lump ores and heap leach applications. The 800i crushers are also suitable in high pressure grinding roll circuits. They crush more and deliver finer particle sizes to the downstream processes, according to Sandvik.

800i crushers are ready to be connected to the SAM by Sandvik cloud-based digital assistant, the company’s evolving data capture and analysis service supporting operational excellence in crushing and screening plants.

Ali Jumaa, Digital Solution Specialist at Sandvik, said: “SAM collects information from all your connected Sandvik equipment to provide a complete overview of your entire operation. Look at the status of your connected equipment, communicate across teams, view alerts and notifications, proactively order spare parts and much more. The new SAM mobile app for iOS and Android allows you to have access to crusher data and insights in your pocket.”

Sandvik bolts on three more “connected crushers” to 800i series

Sandvik says it is expanding its 800i series of cone crushers to include three new models that come equipped, as standard, with an Automation and Connectivity System (ACS).

The new Sandvik 800i series of cone crushers feature mechanical upgrades, connectivity, advanced automation and rebuild possibilities to predict performance, maximise uptime and offer the best in sustainability at the lowest possible cost, Sandvik says.

Sandvik launched the series of “connected crushers” in July 2018.

The three new models – CH830i, CH840i and CS840i – means the 800i crusher series has been improved and extended to offer reliable, intelligent crushing to any mining or aggregate application, according to the company. Connected to My Sandvik, the crushers enable managers and operators to “make decisions based on facts, and see areas for improvement directly, increasing uptime and availability”, Sandvik said.

The ACS continuously monitors and optimises crusher performance and controls the complete lubrication system, increasing uptime and reliability, according to the mining OEM. It replaces the ASRi™ system that was previously in use for the 800i series of cone crushers.

The 800i series has been “toughened and improved to offer greater reliability, higher availability and a low risk of critical failure”, Sandvik says. This sees the crushers have bolted rather than welded top and bottom shell liners making a changeout 90% faster, according to the company.

The over-pressure system keeps dust out, and the standard offline filter keeps oil cleaner, extending oil life by, the company says, up to five times.

“More power output from less energy and more uptime through intelligent crushing make the 800i series a safer, more sustainable choice,” Sandvik said.

The 800i crusher series can be purchased as a completely new crusher, or as a Sandvik REBORN solution, replacing an existing crusher and reusing existing auxiliaries and infrastructure, according to the company. “This plug and play installation minimises disruption and maximises productivity, while offering up to 40% cost savings compared to a complete crusher system,” Sandvik said.

Such a solution was recently installed at the Mantos Blancos copper mine in Chile.

These new crushers also come with Sandvik’s service agreement, which, it says, provides customers with safer operations, low operating costs and long service life. This can increase productivity by up to 10%, according to the company.

Mats Dahlberg, Vice President Lifecycle Service, Stationary Crushing and Screening, said new, digital technologies will transform the way mines and quarries work.

“My Sandvik is the first major step in gaining insights into productivity and predictive maintenance that will drive our industry forward,” he said. “It’s great to offer our customers a service that will truly make a difference to their profitability.”
