McCloskey I4C compact impact crusher

McCloskey International has unveiled the I4C, the latest entry into McCloskey's impact crusher line. The new model is said to bring the power and productivity of an 1,125mm (44.3in) impactor to a compact footprint for maximum maneuverability. Taking the original impact crusher design and transforming it into a compact product that is even more flexible and productive, the new mobile crushers maximise the efficiency of any project site.

The I4C compact impact crushers have a number of features that enhance their operation. The 44in impact crusher has been designed with a deeper chamber, creating greater tramp release space. With an aggressive blow bar and apron design, 4bar variable speed rotor, and three crush zones with an optional fourth strike, the I4C can be set up as a primary or secondary crusher in some of the toughest materials.

A new asymmetric feeder reduces bridging that can occur in some applications and, combined with the single unit feeder-hopper construction, delivers better motion and vibration for the material as it moves into the impact chamber. With quick release and ground level access, the conveyor belt is said to be easy to maintain and service.

As with all McCloskey equipment, safety is paramount, and the I4C is equipped with a number of features to ensure the workplace and the operator are secure. A chamber door safety sensor, built-in safety shutdown functions, chamber safety arm and a platform for changing blow bars all contribute to the safe operation and maintenance of the equipment.

For maintenance ease, the vast majority of components are identical between McCloskey models to simplify spare parts. Ground level access allows for quick service and maintenance, reducing the downtime for the operation. These compact, mobile crushers are suited particularly to construction and demolition recycling, asphalt recycling, and aggregates.
