TEREX Pegson announces the launch of their latest product, the X400  crushing plant. The X400 is a culmination of detailed research and extensive field trials with a series of eight pre production prototypes. It  is now being launched into the larger European markets and all other markets will be follow on later this year. This new model is a track-mounted jaw crusher unit with universal appeal and capable of outstanding productivity. This new model is intended to replace the 1100 x 650 Premiertrak, which is the world’s best selling tracked crusher.

This plant has been designed to provide unsurpassed levels of uptime with the customer’s needs at the forefront of the design process and includes: Unrivalled under engine access with hydraulically tilting product conveyor. Very low running costs due to the highly efficient direct drive system. Hydraulic overload protection system on the XR400 version. Easy operation. Maximum productivity.

The new X400 series is available in both hydraulic adjust (XA400) and hydraulic release (XR400) versions. Designed and built for primary crushing, these versatile crushers are equally productive and include features that are ideal for both quarrying and recycling applications.

The XA400 has a highly aggressive crushing action with hydraulic crusher setting adjustment. The high-swing jaw eases material entry into the crushing chamber and the hydraulic adjustment has been developed to enable crusher setting changes to be made quickly and easily over a wide range.  The adjustment is activated without the need to release the draw-back mechanism and this system is particularly suitable for applications where regular jaw setting adjustments are required.

The XR400 with hydraulic release has been specifically designed to alleviate problems associated with crusher overload which can be encountered when tramp metal enters the crushing process - particularly prevalent in the recycling of construction and demolition waste. The hydraulic release feature is fully adjustable, quick and easy to reset and makes blockage clearance a simple process. This saves time and money by allowing the crusher to continue processing with minimal disruption to the task while, at the same time, protecting the jaw mechanism from potential damage.

There are numerous innovative features on the X400 series to improve productivity and enhance maintenance procedures. For example, the feed hopper is constructed from 15mm heavy-duty Hardox for prolonged active life and is hydraulically folding with boltless fixing; there is a newly designed and improved crusher drive access system; an easy access power pack canopy; hydraulic and oil filter changes are only required at 2000 hours intervals; there is also excellent under crusher accessibility for the safe and easy removal of wire with a hydraulic titling conveyor system. The strong I-beam construction of the chassis is designed and built to withstand even the most arduous of conditions and the low ground pressure crawler track is site proven for the toughest of terrains.

Driven by a Caterpillar 172kW C9 engine, the new X400 series is PLC controlled for optimum performance with finger-tip actuation and simple, automatic start sequence.  The highly efficient HFO direct drive system engineered into the plant gives remarkably low fuel consumption figures - as little as 22 litres per hour, depending on the application. In the days of increasing fuel and hydraulic oil prices savings of over £21,000 pa in running costs are easily achievable against similar sized competitors’ products. A new style of vibrating grizzly feeder, with an extended twin cartridge grizzly section, actively discourages pegging and blinding. An improved impact area under the product conveyor, at the crushing discharge point, has been introduced and the hydraulically elevating and lowering product conveyor itself has an increased discharged height (3.9m) for even better stockpiling and, for transport, this can quickly be lowered to reduce the overall height dimension of the plant.

The numerous options on the X400 series include dirt conveyor with a new troughing system, overband magnet, radio remote control and under feeder screen. For additional belt protection on recycling applications, TEREX Pegson can also offer an optional under crusher flipper plate.

The new X400 series is fully supported by the world wide TEREX Pegson dealer network.
