Cedarapids’ new portable closed-circuit cone and screen plant is the largest in its class
The new CRC1350S aims to provide higher production, lower costs per ton, and ease of mobility
Cedarapids, a division of Terex dedicated to the design of modular, portable, and static materials processing equipment, has introduced the CRC1350S portable closed-circuit cone and screen plant to its line. Designed for high production while maintaining portability, the CRC1350S is the largest portable closed-circuit cone and screen plant on the market today, remaining accessible with a travel height of 14 feet.
The CRC1350S aims to deliver high production at a lower cost per ton. A key component to this success is the powerful 400 hp TC1300X Cedarapids cone crusher. With improved kinematics and a large eccentric throw, this advanced cone crusher produces quality aggregates with quality shape and cubicity.
Complementing the cone crusher is the seven-foot TSV Horizontal Screen, which enhances production and accommodates a wider range of applications. Its high g-force oval stroke motion and variable slope operation allow it to outperform traditional horizontal screens.
Standard features and benefits
The CRC1350S is equipped with numerous standard features designed to enhance operational efficiency.
- Oversized cone feed hopper with an overflow chute
- A straight-line undercrusher conveyor
- A metal detector for enhanced safety
- A hydraulically powered transfer chute
- Various axle configurations to facilitate easy plant permitting in all states.
The CRC1350S plant delivers increased throughput and quality product shape, and is designed for fast setup and operation, with easy-access maintenance platforms, a hydraulic folding walkway, and integrated emergency stop stations to ensure the operator's quick return to production.
Russ Burns, sales director of Cedarapids, states, "Our focus with the CRC1350S was to address what customers consistently tell us they need: higher production, lower costs per ton, and ease of mobility. This plant combines power, efficiency, and portability to meet those demands head-on."
Proven performance in the field of railroad ballast production
In a recent field test, the CRC1350S was utilized in a high-production railroad ballast application. The project involved processing drilled and blasted granite material into two-inch minus railroad ballast. Material was fed by a Cat 349 excavator into a Powerscreen 32-inch by 47-inch jaw crusher with a five-inch closed side setting, reducing the granite to nine-inch minus.
From there, the material was conveyed to the Cedarapids CRC1350S, which was configured to produce three product variations: railroad ballast at two-inches by seven-eighths of an inch, three-quarters-inch stone, and half-inch minus dust.
The CRC1350S proved very effective, producing an estimated 425 tons per hour, split across the three products. While the plant demonstrated high performance, there is potential for even higher production rates with the use of a larger excavator and minor adjustments to the circuit. The customer expressed high satisfaction with the CRC1350S's performance in the rail ballast configuration, highlighting the plant's significant production capacity and ease of transport.
