Compact McCloskey Jaw Crusher crushing the competition

The McCloskey J40 is the ever-popular compact jaw crusher crushing it’s competition and leaving them for dust.

At 2.5 metres wide, the McCloskey J40 is ideal for tighter spaces and where a higher degree of mobility is needed but where zero compromise on power will not be tolerated. The J40 jaw crusher exceeds expectations thanks to the heavy-duty cheek plate design, it’s enhanced deeper jaw box and faster jaw speed. You can expect the productivity and heavy duty build of the full-size McCloskey J50 jaw crusher but find it in a more compact, mobile package.

Scotland based Eagle Recycling, part of the Purvis Group, are the recent new owners of a new McCloskey J40 jaw crusher, delivered in custom colours of blue and grey. The firm operate from a number of locations throughout central Scotland and when originally founded in 2004, the company began as an inert recycling centre. As the firm’s reputation grew and demand arose, they expanded into plant hire, crushing and screening alongside running a number of tipper and volumetric concrete trucks.

Eagle Recycling now operate a large number of machines, with McCloskey starring amongst the line-up. Recycling inert waste, road construction and demolition waste, to produce MOT type 1 and recycled type 1 materials alongside concrete and recycled washed gravels and top soil for resale.

Having been long used to running competitor machines, the firm took a McCloskey J40 on demo from McCloskeys Area Sales Manager for Scotland, Chris McKinstry. Having worked with Eagle Recyling for a number of years, Chris commented, “They have been long used to running various competitor machines but upon delivery of the McCloskey, they were instantly impressed by the build quality. The machine performed well throughout the demo and the decision to invest in the McCloskey J40 came easy”.

Stuart Bell, of Eagle Recycling added, “The McCloskey presents a number of benefits over the competitor machines we’ve previously run. The build quality and set up is far superior. The toggle set up and rams for positioning the belt are much better and the machine is much easier to access, maintain and operate. We have no complaints so far”.

McCloskey focus on durability, quality and productivity at all times and the J40 jaw crusher is no exception. The powerful yet fuel efficient 225 HP Cat C6.6 engine and 40” jaw opening (feed opening of 40” x 24”) is combined with a user-friendly control panel with excellent machine diagnostics packed into one highly portable machine.
