Innovative Crushing Technology: Technidrive’s Jaw Crusher Unblock System

Key Challenges and Technidrive’s Solutions: Operators of mobile jaw crushers face several occupational hazards including exposure to dust, noise, and whole-body vibration, along with the dangers posed by objects ejected from the crusher. Addressing these, Technidrive's system uses the WEG W22 Premium Efficiency IE3 motor and the CFW11 WEG inverter, enhancing both energy efficiency and operational safety. These components are selected for their robustness, energy efficiency, and ability to handle the rigorous demands of crusher applications.

System Design and Benefits: The cornerstone of the system is its ability to improve the safety and efficiency of the crushing process. Traditionally, blockages would require manual clearing, posing serious risks to personnel due to the kinetic energy released during unblocking. Technidrive’s solution minimizes this risk by enabling remote unblocking of the jaw crusher. This is facilitated by an innovative piece of software that controls the motor’s start-up from either an empty state or when the crusher is stopped full. This software carefully manages the ramp times, current, and speed, significantly reducing the stress on the mechanical system and lowering power requirements.

Efficient Control Mechanism: The variable speed drive (VSD) incorporated into the system offers controlled start-up speeds and adjustable torque, which not only cuts down the mechanical stress on the crusher but also conserves energy. The VSD ensures a soft start that limits the absorbed current, which is crucial given the high inertia involved in the crushing process. Over time, this contributes to reduced maintenance costs and prolongs the machinery's lifespan. The system's design includes a special unblock mode activated remotely, enhancing safety by eliminating the need for operators to manually remove blockages.

Enhanced Safety Features: The entire system is designed with safety as a priority. The integration of the WEG motor and alternator, chosen for their reliability and suitability for harsh environments, includes features like dust filtering systems to handle the dusty conditions of a quarry. This prevents foreign particles from compromising the system's integrity and functionality.

Sustainability and Reliability: By reducing the frequency and duration of maintenance shutdowns and by enhancing the overall energy efficiency of the operation, Technidrive’s system not only increases productivity but also contributes to environmental sustainability. The careful selection of components ensures that the system can withstand the external conditions typical of its application environments, thereby reducing the likelihood of motor failures

Technidrive’s Automatic Jaw Crusher Unblock System exemplifies innovation in enhancing the safety and efficiency of industrial machinery. By integrating sophisticated controls and high-quality components, Technidrive not only meets the rigorous demands of the industry but also sets new standards in operational safety and efficiency. This system is a testament to Technidrive’s commitment to advancing industrial technology while prioritizing the health and safety of operators.
