The Trio® TC84XR cone crusher
The Trio® TC machine excels in applications where the end goal is size reduction or the system has a potential for low or intermittent feed rates. It is also a direct replacement for legacy machines, so installation into an existing site is quick and easy.
As with any high performance machine, the Trio® TP range of crushers requires a bit more care with regard to the infeed in order to get the benefits of its
design. The Trio® TP machine will give the customer maximum product on a single pass with great particle shape due to the crushers’ ability to crush at the liner face, as well as between particles themselves. Furthermore, the compact design of the Trio® TP Series is
beneficial in reducing feed height and weight in mobile or semi- mobile applications.

Feed material to all cones should be screened for optimal performance, but the Trio® TP crushers perform at their best with a screened and well graded feed material. Fines percentage in the feed should be kept to less than 10% passing the CSS for proper operation; any exceptions should be
discussed with your local Weir comminution expert. Maintaining the proper chamber density will reduce the potential for bowl float or overload. In some applications,
this may equate to a lower overall reduction ratio compared to the Trio® TC Series, which can accept a higher level of fines material; some limits still apply,
nonetheless. Typically, the reduction ratio (F80/P80) should be about 4:1 in the Trio® TP Series, whereas the Trio® TC Series can be as high as 6:1.
Driven by the need for upgrades and an increase in service requirements, some competitors have started
upgrading the coiled spring tramp release system with a hydraulic one. These upgrades can be achieved
more effectively by replacing the whole machine. A new installation brings all the
benefits of an unused machine without
the performance and reliability challenges of
a machine that’s been operating for decades.
