Finlay C-1550+ delivers high-capacity production
Upgraded tracked cone crusher offers increased performance, enhanced efficiency, and improved serviceability
FINLAY, a global leader in mobile crushing, screening, and conveying equipment, say they are setting a new standard for high-capacity aggregate production with the C-1550+ tracked cone crusher. Building on the strengths of its predecessor, the C-1550, the C-1550+ is said to offer increased performance, enhanced efficiency, and improved serviceability.
At the core of the C-1550+ is the upgraded Terex 1300X cone crusher, which features a 1,300mm (52in) head diameter. Engineered for durability and intelligent design, this crusher delivers a 15% increase in tonnage and production compared with the C-1550. This improvement is achieved through higher clamp forces and a longer throw, resulting in greater profitability for owners, operators, and contractors. Additionally, the C-1550+ offers improved transportability, thanks to its lighter weight.
Performance is further enhanced with ultrasonic level sensors that regulate the material flow from the hopper to the crushing chamber. This ensures consistent and efficient crushing, while the machine’s ability to accept an all-in feed eliminates the need for additional screening equipment.
Other features that enhance the high-capacity production capabilities of the C-1550+ include full hydraulic closed-side setting (CSS) adjustment with electronic monitoring for precise control, as well as a fuel-efficient direct-drive transmission through a wet clutch to maximize fuel efficiency and reduce operating costs. The large hopper/feeder is equipped with an automatic reset hydraulic tramp-relief system that protects the chamber and minimizes downtime if uncrushable material enters the chamber. This system minimizes downtime by automatically removing contaminants via the purge chute, enabling smoother operations.
The C-1550+ is also designed with safety and maintenance efficiency in mind. Its mechanically designed liner retention and common upper frame make it compatible with all liner configurations, including coarse, medium, and fine. This feature simplifies liner changes and maintenance, maximizing operational uptime. Generously sized catwalks provide easy access to the power pack from both sides, while a tag-out engine isolator improves safety during maintenance. The hydraulically folding hopper, which can be locked from ground level, facilitates quick and efficient setup and teardown.
‘At Finlay, we are committed to delivering innovative solutions that drive productivity and profitability,’ said business line director Matt Dickson. ‘The C-1550+ combines increased production capacity with features that enable our customers to achieve more with less, all while ensuring safer, more streamlined operations.’
