EvoQuip add Bison 170 to expanding jaw crusher portfolio
Latest addition to compact jaw crusher range offers high performance, ease of use, and manoeuvrability
COMPACT crushing and screening equipment manufacturers EvoQuip have launched the Bison 170 – the latest addition to their jaw crusher range. With its 700mm x 500mm jaw chamber and diesel-electric drive technology, the Bison 170 is aimed at customers looking to optimize their operations while meeting both economic and environmental goals.
Suitable for natural rock and recycling applications, the Bison 170 has a range of environmentally friendly features that offer customers value, high performance, ease of use, and manoeuvrability.
The Bison 170 utilizes a fuel-efficient diesel-electric drive system, with an onboard generator being used to power the plant. It can also be plugged in and driven from an external power source, such as mains power, which allows for zero-emissions processing. This allows customers to meet regulatory requirements and support their own sustainability goals. Moreover, the engine and power unit can be removed completely, allowing the plant to be powered from an external source with no combustion engine on board. As noise pollution is also reduced, the Bison 170 is well suited to working in urban areas.
The Bison 170 offers all-round efficiency, with the electric drive enabling customers to run in reverse for asphalt recycling and also providing a unblock/jog function to clear a blockage. The deflector plate, fitted as standard, provides belt protection by allowing uncrushable objects to pass through the crushing chamber safely and on to the discharge belt. Finally, the ability to easily manoeuvre the machine from site to site and its simple and intuitive control system ensure transport and set-up times are minimized, while uptime is maximized.
‘We are delighted to add the Bison 170 to our jaw crushing range,’ said Andrew Armstrong, product manager at EvoQuip. ‘With a potential output of up to 110 tonnes/h and low fuel consumption, the Bison 170 is a high-performing, environmentally friendly machine that aligns with the EvoQuip Think Green, Think EvoQuip sustainability campaign.’
The Bison 170 is available to order now for 2024.
