Gyratory crusher

semi-mobileprimaryhigh-capacity

Overview
Modular, semi‑mobile primary crushing stations by FLS designed for in‑pit crushing. Delivered as preassembled plug‑and‑play modules on a steel pontoon base, these plants enable relocation with the mine face to reduce haulage distance and associated emissions. Configurations are adapted to local standards, environmental conditions and ore characteristics and supplied as a complete process solution including equipment, process design and guaranteed system performance.

Key benefits

• Minimised onsite construction and erection time: preassembled modules reduce civil works and erection‑related emissions and risks.
• Turnkey process delivery: full OEM process solution (equipment + process design + commissioning) reduces need for specialised local resources.
• Adaptable to mining conditions worldwide: proven in a wide range of climates (including installations down to −40°C) and ore types; compliant with local electrical standards.

Equipment features

• Hydraulic rock breaker: manages oversize material, clears crusher blockages and supports maintenance.
• Enclosed equipment compartments: protect lubrication systems, hydraulics and auxiliaries from dust and damage.
• Motorised maintenance trolley: facilitates safe inspection and maintenance of hydraulic piping and cylinders.
• Onboard crane options: electro‑hydraulic jib or bridge crane up to ~150 t for maintenance and component handling.
• Electromagnet/metal detector options: tramp metal detection and removal.
• Personnel elevator option: improves access on high‑elevation stations.

Full process automation
Automation packages enable integration with mine control systems, enhance operational safety and monitoring, and support safe inspection and maintenance workflows.

Aftermarket, maintenance and services
Comprehensive aftermarket support includes consumables, spare parts, upgrades, professional services and digital solutions to lower operating costs and environmental impact. Global service centres support parts and maintenance activities.

Technical characteristics / specifications

• Capacity: up to 14,000 tph.
• Total plant weight: up to approx. 2,500 t (configuration‑dependent).
• Modularity: delivered as preassembled plug‑and‑play modules; degree of modularisation varies by contract.
• Mounting/base: steel base on pontoon to enable relocation without permanent anchoring.
• Relocation: movable using transport crawlers or self‑propelled modular transporters; relocation time depends on modularisation, transport method and distance.
• Erection time onsite: typically 6–8 months (site dependent, based on pre‑erection and modularisation).
• Delivery lead time (from contract acceptance): approx. 12–14 months (subject to scope and configuration).
• Feeding options: direct‑fed (truck ramp/tipping point feeding gyratory crusher) or indirect‑fed (receiving hopper + apron feeder feeding a range of primary crushers).
• Screening: indirect‑fed configurations support pre‑screening using heavy‑duty grizzly screens; direct‑fed typically have no screen.
• Climate/adaptation: proven for extreme conditions (examples include installations down to −40°C); systems adapted to local electrical standards.
• Auxiliaries: enclosed equipment compartments, rock breakers, cranes (up to ~150 t), electromagnets/metal detectors, personnel elevators and motorised maintenance trolleys.
• Site requirements: standard utilities such as power and water; integration with mine control systems for automation.
• Sustainability benefits: reduced haulage and related GHG emissions, smaller footprint and reduced land disturbance, and lower‑risk onsite erection.
