Construction equipment supplier High Power Equipment (HPE) Africa has added the updated high-performance I54Rv3 impact crusher to the company’s screening and crushing equipment manufacturer McCloskey International’s crushing and screen plants.

The I54Rv3 impact crusher, an advanced version of the 154Rv2 machine, operates efficiently in various applications. These includes asphalt and concrete recycling, rock crushing, construction, mining and demolition.

“The I54Rv3 impact crusher – which was showcased in April by McCloskey International at construction industry trade fair bauma 2019 – has new production-boosting features. This includes a new main conveyor, an impactor transfer chute, a prescreen with a steeper bottom deck for enhanced material flow and a simplified rear profile for the impactor chamber,” says HPE Africa McCloskey product manager Rasheel Sukdhoe. HPE is the exclusive distributor locally for McCloskey International.

“The radial return conveyor of the I54Rv3 features full-length dust suppression control, allowing operators to recirculate oversize material from the screenbox back to the feed hopper or to radial a complete 90º while running.”

Other features include an open chassis for easy access during maintenance, an optional full-length main conveyor, an optional under-pan under the crushing chamber conveyor, a hydraulic adjustable magnet and a large double-deck prescreen for more efficient fines removal.

This larger crusher prescreen (1 204 mm × 2 360 mm) maximises crusher efficiency and delivers screened product through a straight chute, to an 800-mm-wide side conveyor.

Wide main and side conveyors accommodate a larger volume of prescreen discharge material and enable improved discharge from the crushing chamber. The stockpile height from the main conveyor is 3 743 mm.

The hopper has hydraulic and side-locking wedges that are easily accessible from the ground.

This 1 200 mm × 1 335 mm impactor, with a 380 kW power rating, has a 1 360 mm × 950 mm feed opening and a 530 rpm to 640 rpm crusher speed.

HPE Africa’s range of McCloskey equipment – comprising jaw, cone and impact (horizontal and vertical) crushers; trommel and vibrating screeners, stacking conveyors and washing systems – has been designed for easy operation, high efficiency, low maintenance requirements and extended service life.

HPE Africa’s national branch network offers its broad customer base a technical support service, as well as a spare parts, maintenance and repair facility.
