FLSmidth’s New Cone Crusher


The new Raptor XL900, from FLSmidth Excel features a higher pivot point and larger crushing stroke, to deliver more crushing action from the first nip at the feed opening and through the chamber until the material exits the parallel zone. The XL900 has a maximum throughput capacity of almost 1,400 tph. The unit handles feed size up to 14.57 in. (313 mm) and easily allows a reduction ratio of up to 6:4. The active feed opening provides a desirable cubical product shape for higher yields of salable material. Powered by a 900-hp motor, the XL900 is designed to operate and remain mechanically sound at a wide range of eccentric speeds. Because of this versatility, the eccentric speed can be selected to maximize throughput, size reduction, product shape or product yield. The large 71-in. (1.8-m) crushing head uses the same eccentric motion as Excel’s other Raptor cone crushers. The XL900 can be installed to replace cone crushers with a 59-in. (1.5-m) head diameter or larger without major modifications to foundations or feed arrangements, allowing producers to increase their production capacity without major plant renovations. A safety feature standard on all Raptor models is the counterclockwise rotation crushing action that protects the machine if adjustment ring movement is excessive or if the ring gear brake fails.
