TEREX MPS will launch two new products at Hillhead 2024 — the WG220E Portable Cone Crusher and the WV1400E Portable Vertical Shaft Impact Crusher.
Both models are designed primarily for the European market. Targeting mid-size end users, contractors, and rental companies operating in quarries or gravel pits, the machines are mounted on a wheeled chassis and comply with all European road regulations.
Terex MPS said they ‘excel’ in crushing oversize materials from wash plants or secondary/tertiary open circuit crushing. Both models are electrically driven, either from mains power or a generator.
The WG220E is intended for secondary or tertiary processing in hard rock quarries, producing aggregates for construction. The WV1400E is suitable for producing shaped aggregates for concrete and asphalt, as well as manufactured sand and agricultural lime.
Both models feature a feed hopper volume of 5 m³ with a conveyor to feed the crusher and a foldable discharge conveyor for material stockpiling or feeding additional processing equipment. They can be integrated with existing mobile crushing trains, whether tracked or portable on wheels.
“There is a growing demand for crushing machines that offer a lower cost per tonne compared to traditional tracked diesel crushers, especially for mid to long-term contractors,” said Paul Lilley, sales director, Terex MPS ERA & CATNA. “Electric machines are more efficient and have a lower capital cost due to the absence of engine and track components.
“With many government contracts now requiring electric drive machines for environmental reasons, our new models eliminate diesel emissions while also having lower energy consumption. The wheeled plant also provides contractors with the flexibility to move the machine between jobsites without needing a transport company with a low-bed trailer.”
