EvoQuip introduced the Bison 170 as the latest addition to its jaw crusher range.
With a 27.5-in. x 19.6-in. jaw chamber and diesel-electric drive technology, the Bison 170 helps customers optimize operations while meeting their economic and environmental goals, according to EvoQuip.
Suitable for both natural rock and recycling applications, the Bison 170 has a range of environmentally friendly features that offer customers value, high performance, ease of use and maneuverability, the company adds.
Diesel-electric drive tech
The Bison 170 utilizes a diesel-electric drive system with an onboard generator to power the plant. It can be plugged in and driven from an external power source such as mains power, which allows for zero emissions processing.
This enables customers to meet regulatory requirements and support their own sustainability goals, EvoQuip says. The engine and power unit can be removed completely, allowing the plant to be powered from an external source with no combustion engine on board. The Bison 170 also offers users reduced noise pollution, according to EvoQuip.
Enhanced efficiency and maneuverability
Additionally, the Bison 170 can run in reverse for asphalt recycling and provide an unblock/jog function to clear a blockage. The deflector plate, fitted as standard, provides belt protection by allowing uncrushable objects to pass through the crushing chamber onto the discharge belt.
“We are delighted to add the Bison 170 to our jaw crushing range,” says Andrew Armstrong, product manager at EvoQuip. “With a potential output of up to 110 tph and low fuel consumption, the Bison 170 is a high-performing, environmentally friendly machine that aligns with the EvoQuip ‘Think Green, Think EvoQuip’ sustainability campaign.”
