Telsmith Introduces Portable Crushing Plant

Designed for high-capacity performance in tough applications, the new Telsmith 3258 Portable Crushing Plant is engineered with features that boost production, reduce maintenance requirements, improve safety and enhance mobility.

Ideal for the portable plant operator, the plant travels at 13-feet-6-inches high and 10 feet in width. At the heart of the plant is the Telsmith Model 3258 hydraulic jaw crusher. The crushing chamber is 58 inches wide. Fingertip controlled, hydraulic adjustment cylinders reduce maintenance and increase uptime production while the hydraulic overload system automatically protects the crusher from tramp metal.

The crusher is fed with a 60-inch-wide and 20-foot-long vibrating grizzly. For optimum portability, the grizzly feeder, loading hopper and grizzly bypass chute comprise one modular unit. The entire module can be removed as one piece, sliding off the back of the plant and simplifying travel in weight restricted travel areas. Additionally, the chassis is equipped with a standard tri-axle air ride suspension. An optional fourth axle can be pneumatically elevated off the ground, reducing wear and tear during tight onsite maneuvering.

Equipped with either diesel or electric power, plants feature an optional variable speed drive for the feeder. Diesel plants incorporate a 365-hp engine with a hydraulically activated trans-fluid clutch. Push-button controls engage the clutch automatically, and a hydraulic belt tensioner is used to maintain belt pressure, eliminating the need to adjust belts.
