LOW-PROFILE MOBILE CRUSHING PLANTS

DURING THE LAST FEW YEARS, THE DESIGN AND USE OF MOBILE CRUSHING PLANTS HAS BEEN PROGRESSING QUITE RAPIDLY IN EUROPE. EQUIPPING THE MOBILE PLANTS WITH BYRATORY CRUSHERS, AND INCORPORATING SIMPLE WALKING MECHANISMS INCREASED THE UNIT'S MANEUVERABILITY AND INCREASED THEIR APPLICATION IN OPEN-PIT MINING. THE ESCH MOBILE CRUSHING PLANT IS EQUIPPED WITH ONLY ONE WALKING FOOT, MOVING ONLY FORWARD OR BACKWARD, AND ROTATING AROUND ITS VERTICAL AXIS, CLOCKWISE AND ANTICLOCKWISE. THE HYDRO-WALKING MECHANISM HAS FOUR VERTICAL AND FOUR HORIZONTAL HYDRAULIC RAMS. FEED TROUGHS MAKES IT POSSIBLE FOR HIGH-PROFILE CRUSHING PLANTS TO BE FED DIRECTLY FROM A CONVEYOR BELT, NOT THE CUSTOMARY APRON FEEDER. THE CONVEYOR BELT WORKS AT INTERVALS ACCORDING TO THE WORKING CYCLE OF THE LOADER.
