I n the highly competitive world of mobile coal crushing, Pilot in the field. “We designed the DR400 from the ground up to give us the flexibility to produce a truly great crushing solution,” says Jorge Abelho, director technical support at Pilot Crushtec. “It has proved itself through its combination of throughput, reliability and economy.” Indeed, it is Africa’s only locally manufactured, fully mobile double-roll crusher – capable of averaging production rates from 300 to 350 tonnes per hour and reaching 400 tonnes per hour. Its ability to reduce the generation of fines is thanks to the double-roll crusher. While a horizontal shaft impact crusher creates more coal fines due to impact energy, the double-roll crusher forces material through a constant gap. “The crusher uses just enough energy to break the material down to the size of the gap,” explains Pilot Crushtec sales engineer Crushtec’s DoppiaTrac DR400 is a triumph of local design and engi neering, with a decade of success

A mobile coal crushing solution Designed and manufactured in South Africa by Pilot Crushtec, the DR400 has proved itself over the past decade. Now, at a time when South Africa’s coal mines need to boost output while meeting size and quality specifications, Pilot Crushtec’s DoppiaTrac DR400 mobile crusher fits the bill.

“The safety features on the DR400 ensure that it is compliant with demanding safety protocols applied by mining companies.”
