Kodiak Plus K500+ meets demand for larger secondary and tertiary cone crushers used by high-production aggregate producers
Johnson Crushers International showcased the Kodiak K500+, their 500-hp, remote-adjust cone crusher, at the MINExpo tradeshow September 26-28 in Las Vegas, Nev.
The K500+ is part of the Kodiak Plus Cone Crusher family, which consists of three other models, the K200+, K300+ and K400+. The K500+ model fills the demand for larger secondary and tertiary cone crushers that are used by high-production aggregate producers and mining companies, according to Ian Pendergrass, JCI Product Development Manager.
“The Kodiak Plus product line includes a hybrid cast/fabricated base frame design, an automated control system, a patented liner retention system, patented thread locking ring, anti-spin cone brake, and other additional evolutionary refinements,” Pendergrass said. “The K500+ incorporates these innovations as well, and we are confident in its ability to fill a large need in the current aggregate and mining markets.”
Other features of the Kodiak Plus Cone Crusher product line include replaceable brass thread inserts, patented internal counterweights, a heavy-duty tramp iron system consisting of pressure relief valves in lieu of accumulators, brass v-seat liners, and other unique manufacturing and maintenance characteristics.
