Finlay, a global leader in mobile crushing, screening and conveying equipment, is setting a new standard for high-capacity production in the surface ore mining and aggregate industries with the C-1550+ tracked cone crusher.

Building on the strengths of its predecessor (the C-1550), the C-1550+ offers increased performance, enhanced efficiency and improved serviceability.

At the core of the C-1550+ is the upgraded Terex 1300X cone crusher, which features a 52 in. head diameter. Engineered for durability and intelligent design, this crusher delivers a 15 percent increase in tonnage and production compared to the C-1550. This improvement is achieved through higher clamp forces and a longer throw, resulting in greater profitability for owners, operators and contractors.

Additionally, the C-1550+ offers improved transportability, due to its lighter weight.

Performance is enhanced further with ultrasonic level sensors that regulate the material flow from the hopper to the crushing chamber. This ensures consistent and efficient crushing, while the machine's ability to accept an all-in feed eliminates the need for additional screening equipment.

Other features that enhance the high-capacity production capabilities of the C-1550+ include full hydraulic closed side setting (CSS) adjustment with electronic monitoring for precise control, as well as a fuel-efficient direct drive transmission through a wet clutch to maximise fuel efficiency and reduce operating costs.

The large hopper/feeder is equipped with an automatic reset hydraulic tramp relief system that protects the chamber and minimises downtime if uncrushable material enters the chamber. This system minimizes downtime by automatically removing contaminants via the purge chute, enabling smoother operations.

The C-1550+ also is designed with safety and maintenance efficiency in mind. Its mechanically designed liner retention and common upper frame make it compatible with all liner configurations, including coarse, medium and fine. This feature simplifies liner changes and maintenance, maximising operational uptime. Generously sized catwalks provide easy access to the power pack from both sides, while a tag-out engine isolator improves safety during maintenance.

The hydraulically folding hopper, which can be locked from ground level, facilitates quick and efficient setup and teardown.

"At Finlay, we are committed to delivering innovative solutions that drive productivity and profitability," said Matt Dickson, business line director of Finlay. "The C-1550+ combines increased production capacity with features that enable our customers to achieve more with less, all while ensuring safer, more streamlined operations."
