Sandvik’s new electric tracked cone crusher

Sandvik Mobile Crushing and Screening has launched the QH443E tracked cone crusher.  

The new electric unit has been designed with a focus on sustainability and productivity in heavy-duty applications.

The new QH443E is Sandvik’s flagship Q-Range electric-driven cone plant. The manufacturer says it takes a significant step towards bridging the gap between tracked mobile, wheeled portable, and stationary plants by combining electric drives and track mobility on a single platform.

The QH443E electric cone crusher completes Sandvik’s electric train, which includes the UJ443E fully electric jaw crusher (launched in 2023), the QE342e hybrid scalper and the QA452e hybrid triple-deck Doublescreen (both launched in 2022).

The QH443E features a new and improved heavy-duty feeder design and is equipped with electrically driven components. Its design allows for operation through a connection to an external electrical-grid supply or on-board generator, providing flexibility and reducing operational costs.

The integration of the latest generation of fuel-efficient engines further enhances flexibility, allowing the unit to be operated via HVO (Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil) or diesel when required, maximising uptime whilst lowering emissions and operating noise.

Sandvik says that, due to the electrification of the onboard components, running the QH443E via the genset can result in up to 25% fuel savings and a 78% reduction in hydraulic oil usage compared to previous generations.

The QH443E is designed to maximise uptime and boost output. With the versatility and reliability of the Sandvik CH440 Hydrocone, Constant Liner Performance (CLP), and Hydroset CSS adjustment, the crusher is claimed to deliver superior power transfer and precision crushing.  

The new Optik intuitive automation system and My Fleet remote monitoring provide 24/7 fleet management, geo-fencing and remote-operator support,  designed to ensure continuous crushing and optimal performance.

Engineered to operate in the most hostile environments, the QH443E is ideal for large quarries and mines. Its design, featuring a unibody mainframe and premium components, ensures durability and strength.  

The load-sensing system for the feeder drive, camera and level-sensor guarantees continuous crushing, while the choice of chambers, throws, and settings allows for customisation to suit a wide range of applications.

Safety is paramount in the design of the QH443E. The unit includes remote-camera viewing of the crushing chamber, 270° access around the crusher for easy maintenance, and mandatory audible and visual warnings for safe operation. Sandvik’s extensive global distributor and sales network ensures that customers receive the best support for their operations.

    Ensuring efficient cone crusher operation can deliver major economies of scale for quarrying facilities There are a number of ways in which cone crusher throughput can be optimised. One of the key issues is in keeping the system choke fed during operation, as this maximises the effectiveness of rock-on-rock crushing, extends the wear life of manganese components and ensures a quality product shape. A lack of feed causes inconstant loading, which affects the long-term life of internal components.
