Sandvik’s crushing solutions division unveiled a pair of cone crushers: the CH442 and CH662
Sandvik says these new models represent the next evolution of the CH400 and CH600 series.
“For more than a century, Sandvik has focused on engineering equipment that delivers reliability, safety and long-term performance,” says Joakim Lindgren, product manager of the 400 and 600 lines of cone crushers at Sandvik. “The new CH442 and CH662 build on that heritage by introducing stronger key components, faster and easier maintenance and intelligent automation that gives operators clearer insight and better control of their production.”
According to Sandvik, the CH442 and CH662 deliver improvements in uptime, maintenance efficiency and operational stability. A strengthened mechanical structure supports long-term durability and a compact footprint, longer wear life components and efficient operation contribute to reduced operating costs and more sustainable performance, the company adds.
Key upgrades to the CH442 and CH662 include a new, strengthened top shell and a new main shaft. This design features 10 percent more weight and better material distribution, according to Sandvik. Additionally, the machines’ backing compound-free design ensures easier liner changes and reduced downtime by avoiding the 24-hour hardening time compound typically require. Finally, the new spider bushing has been re-engineered to extend the lifetime compared to previous design, and comes with an integrated temperature sensor connected to the automation alarm systems.
Upgraded automation, digital services
The CH662 and CH442 come equipped with ACS-c 5 ASRi automation for crusher control, including automated setting regulation and assigning role-based permissions for system monitoring, troubleshooting and performance optimization.
Both models are also fully connectable to Sandvik’s SAM digital services, providing real-time and aggregated insights into performance, wear, alarms and fleet status. Sandvik says this supports quicker troubleshooting, stronger planning and more informed decision making throughout the crushing process.
