The WJC-2844 wheeled jaw crusher by IROCK Crushers processes hard rock, recycled concrete, slag, sand and gravel, and is ideal for use with a primary crusher, according to the manufacturer.

Powered by a 350-hp Caterpillar C-9 ACERT Tier III engine, the WJC-2844 can produce up to 370 tph (335 t). The unit’s hopper provides a capacity of 10.5 cu. yds. (8 cu m).

The WJC-2844 is equipped with a 48-in. by 36-ft. (122 cm by 11 m) discharge belt and features a fixed discharge height of 11 ft. (3 m), which is the highest in the industry. Further, the superior stockpiling capability enables users to pair the WJC-2844 with screening units, which commonly have feeding heights of up to 10 ft. (3 m).

With the WJC-2844’s hydraulic adjusting chamber, operators can adjust crushing size from a 2-in. (5 cm) minimum closed side setting to a 6-in. (15 cm) maximum side setting. This allows the unit to produce a top size ranging from 2 to 6 in.

The machine includes a 24-in. (61 cm) wide grizzly bypass conveyor with an adjustable flop gate, as well as a 40-in. by 14-ft. (101 cm by 4 m) feeder with a 5-ft. (1.5 m) grizzly bar section. These features ensure that material, depending on its size, is properly classified and directed to either the side discharge conveyor or the crusher discharge conveyor.

In addition, the WJC-2844 is constructed with heavy-duty components for durability and also is designed to allow for easy maintenance. Components of the crusher are open and easily accessible for ease of lubrication, part replacements or other maintenance. For added convenience, standard catwalks and ladders provide easy access.

For easy transport of the entire plant, the wheeled crusher features radial tires mounted under a 24-in. (61 cm) beam chassis. The unit features quad-axle rear ride suspension and includes a fifth wheel pin. For quick setup, the WJC-2844 is equipped with four hydraulic outriggers for off-loading and leveling the plant. The WJC-2844 can be set up or torn down in less than an hour, according to the manufacturer.
