Terex Minerals Processing Systems (MPS), a leader in material processing technology for modular, portable and static crushing and screening equipment, has launched its new MC380X Modular cone plant for aggregate and mining customers worldwide.

The new cone plant boasts numerous features that increase the machine’s productivity and ease of use. It features the Terex Cedarapids high-performance MVP380X cone crusher. The new module is part of Terex MPS’ continuing product development strategy for the modular product line.

Mark Crooks, global modular product manager of Terex MPS, comments: “We are very proud to add the high-performance MC380X cone module to our expanding CR modular product line, further increasing our plant building stations, improving our application capabilities between 150 to 450 tonnes per hour (tph) and in particular, showcasing the innovative design and modular plant controls created by our experienced engineering team.”

Major new enhancements in the MC380X include high-speed clearing of jammed material; quick crusher separation capability for faster manganese changes; and user-friendly computer controls enclosed in a robust weather-protected control panel.

Other key features include an extra-heavy-duty I-beam frame, and galvanised steel structure including walkways, stairs and guard rails as standard. The module structure and all its components are CE compliant.

“The modular structure bolts together on-site, boasting quick set-up times using basic tools,” Crooks says. “Pre-wired with a plug-and-play design, the Terex MPS modules require minimum on-site wiring. The flexible design of the module enable permits for two locations for the discharge conveyor for easy transport and site set-up.

“The Terex Cedarapids MVP380X cone with patented Rollercone design provides high-efficiency crushing from a single-drive electric motor 300 hp (225 kW). The cone also has an adjustable motor mount slide-base tensioning system with V-belt drive, drive guard, V-belt motor sheave, hub and key. Unique to Terex MPS modular plants is the fact that the hydraulic and lube skids are both positioned in the modular structure to protect them and are part of the pre-wired set-up.”

Optional equipment includes a motor starter kit to run off-plant cone feed conveyor, product discharge conveyor and feeder, easy upgrade overflow chute and full length skid base.
