Two of the best-selling jaw crushers from the Premium range will also be on display. The larger model, the QJ341, possesses a class leading 1200 x 750 mm jaw size that has been designed for larger operations. Whereas the QJ241 is the most compact member in the range, but still boasts an impressive 1000 x 650 mm feed opening.

Both models feature a hydraulically adjustable CSS setting and are hydraulically driven which enables the machine to restart with a full crushing chamber. Both have proved to be ideal for recycling applications being fitted with a reverse crushing capability to relieve blockages and crush problematic sticky materials. The extended main conveyor may also be hydraulically raised or lowered, making it the ideal solution for rebar clearance in recycling applications. Other features include:

• Automatic central lubrication system to reduce maintenance time

Prestart warnings on all plant functions and an auto start/stop facility together with a three mode selector function - setup, operation and tracking facility - all ensure that safety, as well as ease of operation, are paramount at all times.

With full radio controlled as standard, the QE341 is the ideal piece of equipment for contractors requiring the need to travel quickly from site-to-site. Its possesses hydraulically folding tail and side conveyors, and now has a rigid one-piece hopper designed for quicker set-up times and revised tail drum ground clearance for onsite tracking.
