Notable features of the P500 model cone include:

  • Inverted or reverse design of tramp relief cylinders ensures the hydraulic seals are not exposed to contamination during operation.
  • Tramp relief system designed with fewer accumulators for less maintenance. An automatic pressure relief valve means additional protection.
  • Universal crushing chamber design requires no major, time-consuming change-outs when transitioning from secondary to tertiary applications.
  • If loss of clamping pressure, counterclockwise countershaft rotation causes crusher to open rather than turn down, which can cause significant damage.

Superior manufactures its full line of Patriot Cone Crushers in 200, 300, 400, 500 and 600 horsepower models. Each purchase comes with a lifetime warranty to protect the cone’s major components including the adjustment ring, bowl, eccentric, head, mainframe and main shaft.

Horizontal Shaft Impactor Joins Superior’s Growing Group of Crushers

Sentry Horizontal Shaft Impactor (HSI) | Superior Industries

Morris, Minn. – Superior Industries, Inc., a U.S. based manufacturer and global supplier of bulk material processing and handling systems, plans to debut its brand new Sentry® Horizontal Shaft Impactor (HSI) at booth C31389 during CONEXPO-CON/AGG 2020. It’s one of a dozen new products the company will introduce during the Las Vegas trade show in March.

Using a high speed impacting force, horizontal shaft impactors encourage stones to break along their natural cleavage lines. This generates cubically-shaped material, which is desirable for many of today’s applications.

Superior’s Sentry HSI is designed with a fully-fabricated open-style rotor, which produces low inertia energy for a lower cost of ownership. In addition, proper spacing inside the crusher’s chamber creates more area for processing larger feed sizes. Owners and operators will safely and easily complete maintenance functions of the HSI’s mainframe components via a hydraulically-controlled opening and closing feature.

Other design elements include commonly-shaped side liners, hydraulically-adjusted curtains, mainframe inspection doors and a replacement upper feed opening. One or two piece blow bars manufactured with two or four rotors are equipped with fixed clamping for best performance in hard rock applications.

Superior defines its new line of Sentry HSI’s by rotor size and has 15 models available for manufacturing. Production capacities range from 90 – 990 tons per hour (80 – 900 MTPH) with maximum feed sizes from 15 – 40 inches (400 – 1,000mm).

Superior Industries Introduces “Lifetime Warranty” on Patriot® Cone Crushers

Morris, Minn. – Superior Industries Inc., a U.S. based manufacturer and global supplier of bulk material processing and handling systems, announced that a limited lifetime warranty now comes standard with new Patriot Cone Crushers. One-of-a-kind in dry bulk crushing, the no cost extended warranty covers the cone’s major components including the adjustment ring, bowl, eccentric, head, mainframe and main shaft.

“Our goal is to be our customers’ most trusted partner by improving long-term reliability of their systems and applications,” says John Garrison, a vice president with the manufacturer. “By extending a lifetime warranty, our customers can concentrate on more important aspects of their operation, knowing we are there to support their crushing investment for a long, long time.”

Superior Industries Seeks Distribution Partnerships at bauma 2019

Morris, Minn. USA — Superior Industries Inc., an American-based manufacturer and global supplier of bulk material processing and handling systems, is seeking new relationships with construction equipment dealers and distributors at bauma 2019. Before the event, distribution representatives looking to meet with Superior at bauma are asked to complete an online form.
 
“Outside of the Americas, we’ve built successful distributor relationships in Australia, New Zealand, Russia and other regions,” says John Garrison, the manufacturer’s vice president of sales. “Our target at bauma will be dealers located in Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA).”
 
Late in 2016, Michael Dunne joined Superior as its first ever business development manager responsible for opportunities throughout the EMEA. The industry veteran – with experience inside Weir and Terex – has established a European-based entity for Superior and works closely with the manufacture’s product development team to establish design standards and unique features for the European market.
 
“At Superior, our dealers play a major role in our new product development process,” says Garrison. “We’re looking for partners who know their local market well and want to be served by a manufacturer who will custom design, build and relentlessly support equipment specific for the region and it’s dry bulk material producers.”
 
A dozen executives, product specialists and application experts will be available throughout the duration of bauma. Superior’s showcase will be located in Hall B2, stand 107.

Superior Industries To Significantly Increase Footprint at Bauma 2019

Morris, Minn. –Superior Industries Inc., an American-based manufacturer and global supplier of bulk material processing and handling systems, says its presence at Bauma 2019 will be three-times larger than previous editions of the world’s largest trade show. Today, the builder of crushing, screening, washing and conveying equipment unveiled its display plans.

Inside Hall B2 at stand 107, Superior plans to showcase its brand new Alliance® Low Water Washer. The one-of-a-kind technology allows crushing operators to wash fines within their crushing circuit. It saves from transporting the fines to a separate wash site, which requires costly trucks and harmful re-handling of the material.
 
Available for production rates of 90 – 272 MTPH (100-300 TPH), the Alliance Low Water Washer accepts a dry feed from the crushing circuit. An agitator converts the material to a slurry before an integrated dewatering screen removes excess water, leaving as little as 8% moisture in the discharged manufactured sand. Superior says existing units have required as little 45-90 m3/hour of water (200-400 GPM), depending on production rates. That’s significantly less water consumption than a traditional screw or cyclone.
 
In addition to wet processing equipment, Superior is planning to showcase a group of conveyor components. Included in this display are:

Chevron® Pulley: Invented at Superior in 2007, this unique v-shaped wing pulley deflects oncoming rocks and other material, which prevents it from trapping between the pulley’s wings. No rocks in your pulleys means longer lasting conveyor belts and pulleys.

Moxie® Roll: Made from a composite blend, this steel alternative idler sheds sticky material to maintain properly tracked conveyor belts. The rolls are 50% lighter and at least three times quieter than steel.

High Performance DT Idler: For improved performance in high capacity applications, the double tube (DT) design features inner and outer tube construction for increased rigidly and better bearing insulation.

Exterra® SFL Dual Belt Cleaner: This one-of-a-kind conveyor belt cleaning solution is a primary and secondary scraper sharing one mounting pole. This allows for quick, uncomplicated installation. Tension is set just once – at installation – and automatically maintained for the life of the blade.

In addition to these products, Superior plans to showcase videos and presentations of all its products including crushing, screening, washing and conveying equipment for bulk processing and handling of materials in quarries, mines, and marine and rail terminals. A dozen product and applications experts will be available throughout the duration of the bauma.

Superior Introduces Two New Track-Mounted Conveying Solutions

Morris, Minn. –
Superior Industries Inc., a U.S. based manufacturer and global supplier of bulk material processing and handling systems, says it’s ready to debut two new tracked conveyor models. Joining the manufacturer’s top-selling line of portable conveying solutions are a 75-foot (23m) tracked stacker and an 8-by-16-foot (2.4 x 4.9m) tracked feed hopper.

Following Superior’s reputation for heavy-duty designs, the tracked stacker will be one of the heaviest models available in its class at 34,000 pounds (15,420 kg). Each stacker is capable of handing up to 1,000 TPH (907 MTPH), while hydraulic power controls the tracks, folds, and discharge height. Cross-bracing designed and built into the undercarriage of the tracked stacker ensures structural rigidity and stable track travel.

The 8×16 tracked portable feed hopper processes up to 800 TPH (725 MTPH) from an 8-cubic-yard, reinforced hopper. A bi-directionally dumping grizzly is equipped with adjustable grizzly bars and can be tilted at one of five preset angles. The hopper’s drive and backstop are hydraulically-controlled in addition to the discharge conveyor’s fold and raise features.

Both the stacker and the feed hopper are equipped with Superior brand conveyor components like off-the-shelf idlers, pulleys and Exterra® Primary Belt Cleaners. Several units are now in stock and available for immediate delivery from Superior or one of its many conveying equipment dealers.
