Sandvik launch QH443E tracked cone crusher
Innovative electric tracked cone crusher designed with focus on sustainability and productivity
SANDVIK Mobile Crushing and Screening have announced the launch of the QH443E, their latest innovation in tracked cone crushers. Designed with a focus on sustainability and productivity, Sandvik say the new electric unit is set to revolutionize operations in heavy-duty applications.
The new QH443E is Sandvik’s flagship Q-Range electric-driven cone plant. It takes a significant step towards bridging the gap between tracked mobile, wheeled portable, and stationary plants by combining electric drives and track mobility on a single platform.
The QH443E electric cone crusher completes Sandvik’s revolutionary electric train, which includes the UJ443E fully electric jaw crusher (launched in 2023), the QE342e hybrid scalper and the QA452e hybrid triple-deck Doublescreen (both launched in 2022).
The QH443E features a new and improved heavy-duty feeder design and is equipped with electrically driven components. Its advanced design allows for operation through a connection to an external electrical grid supply or on-board generator, providing flexibility and reducing operational costs.
The integration of the latest generation of fuel-efficient engines further enhances flexibility, allowing the unit to be operated via HVO (hydrotreated vegetable oil) or diesel when required, maximizing uptime whilst lowering emissions and operating noise.
Due to the electrification of the onboard components, running the QH443E via the genset can result in up to 25% fuel savings and a 78% reduction in hydraulic oil usage compared with previous generations.
The QH443E is designed to maximize uptime and boost output. With the renowned versatility and reliability of the Sandvik CH440 Hydrocone, Constant Liner Performance (CLP), and Hydroset CSS adjustment, the crusher delivers superior power transfer and precision crushing. The new Optik intuitive automation system and My Fleet remote monitoring provide fleet management, geo-fencing, and remote operator support 24h a day, seven days a week, ensuring continuous crushing and optimal performance.
Engineered to operate in the most hostile environments, the QH443E is said to be ideal for large quarries and mines looking to enhance their operations. Its robust design, featuring a unibody mainframe and premium components, ensures durability and strength. The load-sensing system for the feeder drive, camera, and level sensor guarantees continuous crushing, while the choice of chambers, throws, and settings allows for customization to suit a wide range of applications.
Safety is paramount in the design of the QH443E. The unit includes remote camera viewing of the crushing chamber, 270° access around the crusher for easy maintenance, and mandatory audible and visual warnings for safe operation.
The QH443E is available to order in the European market now through Sandvik Mobile’s sales network and will be available globally later in 2025.
