As oil prices have reached unprecedented levels in recent months, the fuel efficiency benefits of the Terex Pegson X400S series have become a significant purchase driver for companies seeking the best value mobile jaw crusher.
Terex Pegson specialises in producing jaw crushers that are suitable for quarries, recycling and contractors. The new Terex Pegson X400S series is a high-performance, primary jaw crushing plant that is easy to set up and engi- neered for quarrying, demolition and mining applications that require high production capacities.
Diversified engineering group Blue Group GM Paul Donnelly says, “The Terex Pegson direct drive system in the X400S series has shown fuel costs to be lower than [those of] competitors on a regular basis.” He adds that with today’s high fuel prices, customers are open to any fuel efficiency savingprimary roller crusher for minings.
These Terex Pegson plants are fitted with a direct drive system to the chamber that gives proven fuel efficiency and substantial savings on running costs when compared with hydrostatically driven machines.
In trials comparing the Terex Pegson X400S with equivalent competitor machines, the X400S reduced fuel costs by up to 33%, and hydraulic oil costs by up to 96%.
The comparison, using July 2008 oil prices, indicates that, by using 22 ℓ/h compared with the 33 ℓ/h of a typical hydrostatically driven jaw crusher, instone crusher manufacturer in philippines a single year, the Terex Pegson X400S can save up to about R23 2072, which is a saving of 33%.
When comparing hydraulic oil, bigger savings can be made.
The Terex Pegson X400S needs its hydraulic oil changed every 2 000 hours, calculated on a 400-ℓ tank, whereas, typi-cally, competitors need their hydraulic oil changed every 250 hours, calculated on a 1 333-ℓ tank. In a typical working year, based on July 2008 oil prices, that can save up to about R20 7655, a potential 96% saving.
The Terex Pegson X400S series bemobile cone crusher plantnefits from an aggressive crushing action and a high swing jaw which encourages material to enter the crushing chamber. It has both hydraulic-adjust- able and hydraulic-release options.
The Terex Pegson XA400S hydraulic-adjustable crusher has the ability to quickly and easily adjust the machine setting, making it ideal for hard-rock quarry applications. The Terex Pegson XR400S hydraulic-release crusher is suited to recycling applications as the hydraulic-release sys- tem protects the machine by sensing an overload and opening to release the obstruction of tramp metal or steel.

With over 100 dealers worldwide, all Terex Pegson and Powerscreen dealers have dedicated after-sales teams with a wealth of experience in the manufacture, operation and servicing of crushing and screening equipment.
Meanwhile, the company is opening a manufacturing plant in Hosur, India, which is loca-ted 75 km from Bangalore, near Chennai. This plant is the first stage of what is planned as a campus of Terex facilities on the 18,21-ha site.
India is a rapidly emerg- ing economy and Terex Peg-son and Powerscreen machines will play a role in develop- ing that zenith cone crusher parts bookcountry’s infrastructure.
Powerscreen operations director Gary Cardwell says, “The Indian plant is expected to start assembly operations in mid-2009 with addi- tional manufacturing pro-cesses to be added over the long term.” He adds that, because India imposes significant duties on machinery going in or out of the country, opening this plant allows the company to compete much more effectively in this important market. The factories in Coalville, England, and Dungannon, Northern Ireland, will continue to build machines for other emerging markets, such as Eastern Europe, Russia, Brazil and the rest of world.
Terex Pegson and Power-screen engineers are currently at work setting up the processes and procedures for the new Indian plant, but, over time, manufacturing processes insti- tuted there could well be adopted in Coalville and Dungannon, thus enabling the company’s commitment to continuous improvement and enhanced global competitiveness.
Terex Pegson and Power-screen recently hosted Terex division president Eric Nielsen on his first visit to the Coalville and Dungannon manufacturing facilities. Nielson congratulated staff on the continued growth of the companies.
