Powerscreen, one of the world’s leading providers of mobile crushing, screening and washing equipment, has launched the Powerscreen Pegson XA750 offering customers greater jaw crushing productivity at up to 750tph.

Pat Brian, Powerscreen global sales and marketing director says: “The Pegson XA750 has been designed to ensure that large scale end users and operators experience unmatched performance, reliability and productivity in the toughest of applications.”

The XA750 is fitted with a hydraulically driven pan feeder and live pre-screening unit, complete with a bolt-in cartridge style grizzly section, to remove fines and sizes prior to crushing, avoiding packing and unnecessary manganese wear. Pre-screened material can be stockpiled via an optional dirt conveyor, or re-directed via the by-pass chute onto the main product conveyor.

An unrestricted feed opening of 1400mm x 800mm prevents bridging and maintains a consistent feed to the Terex WJ55 single toggle jaw crusher, which features a hydraulic closed side setting adjustment system that can be changed at the touch of a button for maximum control of product sizing.

Powering the XA750 is the latest generation 288kW diesel engine which uses a direct drive system to achieve superior power transmission and fuel efficiency versus hydrostatic systems. Engine power is transmitted to the crusher via a robust, self adjusting dry plate clutch with self regulation “push button” auto start up sequence and v-belt drive.

User benefits include: a hydraulically adjustable product conveyor with a 4m discharge height, a modular hopper that can be removed for transport and two speed tracks for maximum site mobility. The product conveyor can be raised and lowered hydraulically during operation and for transport and maintenance purposes.

Maintenance downtime is reduced thanks to a hydraulic draw back rod retention system and unrivalled under crusher access. The plant weighs 72,000kgs including magnet and dirt conveyor.
