CONEXPO CON/AGG 2017 REVIEW

New control system for Kleemann’s cone crusher

At CONEXPO CON/AGG 2017, the MOBICONE MCO 11i PRO cone crusher with the brand new SPECTIVE control concept was one of four advanced-design mobile crushing plants shown at the Wirtgen stand. Designed for tough and demanding quarry applications, the high-performance cone crusher is powered by a diesel- electric drive and achieves an output of up to 470 t per hour. The plant can also be equipped with an external power supply for even more efficient operation. As the hydraulics are installed in the lower part of the plant, the MCO 11i PRO has a low centre of gravity, and thus more stability, reducing noise and vibrations to a minimum. All plant components can be easily reached from the ground or via spacious work platforms for maintenance work and refueling the plant. With SPECTIVE, Kleemann presented its new, intuitive control concept for the first time at ConExpo. SPECTIVE is simple to understand and supports the operator in his or her work.
