IROCK launch their Sidewinder

New impact crusher series reduces wear and boosts production in primary and secondary applications

OHIO-based IROCK Crushers have introduced their Sidewinder series of crushers, which are designed to screen out a high percentage of the feed material that is already at the required size before reaching the crusher, thereby minimizing the amount of material that runs through the crusher, increasing production and reducing wear.

The Sidewinder crushers, which feature a closed-circuit design and a four-bar impactor, are capable of producing up to four product sizes – three uniformly sorted and one oversized product.

A flop gate within the pant-leg chute gives operators the option to either recirculate oversized material for further screening and crushing or divert it to be stockpiled as a 100% crushed material.

Sidewinders are well suited to primary use in both sand and gravel applications and recycled asphalt operations, or for secondary use with materials such as recycled concrete and quarried rock.

Three sizes are available, each with a three-deck horizontal screen. With screening areas of 210, 288 and 360 square feet, respectively, the Sidewinder 15, 20 and 30 can process 400, 600 and 750 tonnes/h.

The mobile crushers feature IROCK’s exclusive Rock Box, an innovative alternative to discharge chutes found on similar units. The Rock Box uses a shelf system with abrasion-resistant wear bars that allow crushed material to build up and act as a wear liner to effectively reduce maintenance.

In addition, standard catwalks alongside the unit provide full access to each side of the screenbox for ease of maintenance or screen media changes.
