Sandvik announced the upgraded 800i cone crusher range with the new Automation and Connectivity System, the ACS-c 5. The company said the model exemplifies its design philosophy, which is based on the continual evolution of parts, materials, and technologies to improve reliability, availability, and productivity.
“The upgraded 800i crushers with new ACS-c 5 are a natural next step in setting the bar for crushing,” said Javier Valdeavellano, lifecycle manager for the 800i cone crushers. “Their ideal combination of high crushing forces, reliability and simplicity make them easier to operate, manage, maintain and service, leading to productivity and uptime gains that are gamechangers for operational performance.”
Sandvik said these new crushers are designed from the ground up to maximize tonnage of the desired end-product. Operators simply select the correct chamber configuration, set the crusher program for the automation system, and start crushing.
The 800i has new mechanical and automation advantages that simplify service and troubleshooting, improve safety, and optimize performance while minimizing downtime, Sandvik said.
With flowsheets that use three-stage crushing and conventional grinding, the 800i assists SAG/AG circuits with pebble crushing and optimize particle size distribution for lump ores and heap leach applications. The 800i crushers are also suitable for HPGR circuits. They crush more and deliver finer particle sizes to the downstream processes.
The 800i crushers are ready to be connected to the SAM by Sandvik cloud-based digital assistant, the company’s data capture and analysis service supporting operational excellence in crushing and screening plants.
“SAM collects information from all the connected Sandvik equipment to provide a complete overview of your entire operation,” said Ali Jumaa, digital solution specialist for Sandvik. “It allows operators to look at the status of connected equipment, communicate across teams, view alerts and notifications, pro-actively order spare parts and much more,” it said. “The new SAM mobile app for iOS and Android allows them to have access to crusher data and insights in their pocket.”
