Sandvik Mobile Crushing and Screening announced the completion of its new electric tracked crushing and screening train.
One Platform, Endless Possibilities
The new QH443E is Sandvik's flagship Q-Range electric-driven cone plant. It takes a step toward bridging the gap between tracked mobile, wheeled portable and stationary plants by combining electric drives and track mobility on a single platform, according to Sandvik.
"The QH443E features an updated tracked platform with a diesel/electric generator-based drivetrain, Optik automation system, My Fleet remote monitoring and the renowned Sandvik CH440 Hydrocone crusher," the company said.
"This advanced cone crusher is known for its versatility and ease of setting adjustment through the Hydroset CSS regulation and protection system, which optimizes production and keeps track of liner wear through the Constant Liner Performance technology," said Sandvik. "With a choice of several chambers, throws and settings for a wide range of applications, this enables you to fine tune your specification and improve capacity."
Running the QH443E via the onboard genset can result in up to 25 percent* fuel savings and a 78 percent* reduction in oil usage compared to previous generations, according to Sandvik.
Combining electric drive technology with tracked mobility, the QH443E is designed with safety, sustainability and total cost of ownership in mind, making it ideal for secondary or tertiary crushing in aggregate production, quarries and mines, according to Sandvik.
Electric Tracked Train
The QH443E electric cone crusher completes Sandvik's electric train, which includes the UJ443E fully electric jaw crusher (launched in 2023) and the QA452e hybrid triple-deck Doublescreen (launched in 2022).
Built on a new fully electric track platform, the Sandvik UJ443E features the latest generation Sandvik CJ412 jaw crusher. It offers up to 25 percent* reduction in fuel consumption and up to 30 percent* increase in throughput compared to previous models. The fully electric track drives also reduce hydraulic oil usage by up to 91 percent*, according to Sandvik.
The Sandvik QA452e doublescreen technology typically outperforms traditional screens by up to 30 percent offering a tailored rock processing solution for mining, quarry and recycling industries. Its hybrid "e" drive lets you choose your most economical and efficient energy source, according to Sandvik.
Engineered for Today, Powered for Tomorrow
Both the UJ443E and QH443E feature an onboard genset and electrically driven components onboard. This setup allows both units to operate either by connecting to an external electricity supply or via the onboard genset using HVO or diesel, according to Sandvik.
"Using an external supply or grid connection provides further advantages, including significantly lower running costs, extended drivetrain service intervals, reduced refueling time, minimal onsite emissions, and lower noise levels," said Sandvik.
"In addition, the alternator is sized accordingly so that a downstream screening plant could be operated from the plant's onboard genset, simplifying servicing and maintenance and improving overall fuel consumption whilst also providing up to 20 percent decrease in fuel consumption compared to running separate units," Sandvik added.
"Sandvik Mobiles has always been at the forefront of innovation, and completing the development of our tracked electric train marks a significant step towards a more sustainable and cost-effective future for the crushing and screening industry," said Manny Maloney, president, Sandvik Mobile Crushing and Screening division. "This is just the beginning of our commitment to developing solutions that improve the productivity, safety and sustainability of our customers' operations. With its advanced capabilities, this technology is also particularly well-suited for heavy-duty applications, including large quarries and mining operations, where maximizing uptime and reduced environmental impact are critical."
