First MT120J from MAGNA heads down under
Mineral Processing Solutions take first MAGNA MT120J for large-scale operations in Australia
MAGNA, the Terex brand established to meet the growing demands of large-scale operations, have completed the first MT120J large jaw crusher, which is now on its way to Mineral Processing Solutions in Australia. The high-performance, heavy-duty jaw crusher plant is designed for large and medium-scale operators across quarrying, mining, demolition, and recycling applications.
Manufactured at the Terex Crushing Technology Centre of Excellence in Coalville, the MT120J is a robust addition to the MAGNA line-up. Featuring an advanced 1,200mm x 820mm Terex chamber that is optimized for high-performance crushing, the MT120J has an output potential of up to 600 tonnes/h, depending on material type and crusher settings, and is designed to handle challenging and high-volume operations.
One of the key attributes of the MT120J is its quick set-up process. The machine includes a ground-level hydraulic folding feed hopper with a hydraulic locking system. The robust feed hopper is wear-resistant, and the stepped self-cleaning grizzly feeder with under-feeder screen provides a smooth, continuous flow of material. Additionally, the MT120J is equipped with a wide bypass chute that optimizes material flow, while the aggressive crushing action of the high swing jaw encourages efficient material entry into the chamber.
The crusher also offers a fully hydraulic setting adjustment system, which allows operators to make quick and precise changes to the crusher settings, enhancing both flexibility and operational efficiency. The highly efficient direct-drive system supports low fuel consumption, making the MT120J a cost-effective and environmentally friendly solution. Its powerful engine operates at low rev/min, further reducing fuel consumption without sacrificing performance. While the first unit produced is a diesel/direct-drive configuration, the MT120J model can also be built as a fully hybrid unit to utilize the onboard genset drive system or accept external electricity supply (MT120Je).
For ease of use, the MT120J is fitted with a modern, user-friendly PLC control system that includes an auto-start facility. It also comes with radio remote control and MAGNA telemetry as standard, allowing for intuitive monitoring and control of the machine. The product conveyor is angle adjustable, which lowers for easy access and transport, while the under-crusher chassis design offers easy service and maintenance access.
The MT120J is also equipped with a dust-suppression system to provide cleaner operations, as well as straightforward access to the power unit canopy for maintenance and service purposes.
‘The MT120J is a solution built for high performance and maximum productivity,’ said Neil McIlwaine, business line director for MAGNA. ‘It has advanced features and durability that make it the ideal crusher for Mineral Processing Solutions in Australia, who need equipment that can keep pace with the demands of large-scale projects. We look forward to seeing it deliver exceptional performance and support their continued success in Australia.’
