Weir Launches New ENDURON® Crusher Range to Elevate Crushing Performance, Enhanced by ESCO® Wear Parts

Weir’s newly launched ENDURON® jaw crushers, features an updated setting regulation and Hydraulic Power Unit (HPU). The new HPU controls the pressure to the auto-tensioning hydraulic cylinders, ensuring the correct tension on the retraction springs.

This innovation provides true push-button control of the CSS adjustment, automatically maintaining the set pressure on the toggle retraction springs. The auto-adjust feature also eliminates the need for operators or maintenance personnel to work in challenging environments with high-tension spring forces since there is no need to manually reset the spring tension.

Wear parts

Weir also conducted stress analysis and simulation validation and calibration, as well as trialing various solutions to optimize wear distribution and find the ideal ESCO® wear materials. It leveraged its expertise in materials technology and ultimately selected an alloy capable of handling the demands of primary crushing applications.

Crucially, the full range of ENDURON® jaw crushers now feature ESCO® wear parts. The results of all the testing demonstrate that in addition to improving productivity, the ESCO® wear parts prolong wear life, which means increased utilization and, as a result, fewer maintenance interventions.

Secondary and tertiary crushing

Weir has also upgraded its range of cone crushers, replacing the previous internals with ESCO® wear liners and upgrading the H/LPU.

Weir went through an extensive consultation process with its customers to understand their crushing needs and requirements. As a result, Weir wanted to be able to offer its customers the ideal solution based on the application and their specific site and operational challenges, which is why its ENDURON® cone crusher range includes both the EP fixed-shaft and EC live-shaft cone crushers.

The ENDURON® EC series design has been engineered for maximum output without compromising reliability, while the ENDURON® EP series allows the head to move independent of the shaft, which, in turn, allows a faster input speed, higher pivot point and increased stroke. These features allow additional power input, which equates to an increase in production and reduction compared with similarly sized live-shaft machines.

Automation

Digital technologies obviously play an important role in optimizing equipment performance, monitoring equipment health and streamlining maintenance requirements.

Weir has upgraded the sensor packages on its crushers, allowing the user to collect important data that can then form the basis on which its NEXT Intelligent Solutions can perform condition monitoring, predictive maintenance and process optimization once fully released.

Indeed, digital plays a vital role in ensuring that equipment right across the entire comminution process – from crushing through to grinding and classification – operates optimally. Weir takes a solutions-based approach when developing its equipment.
