Following an extensive testing regime, Athos Crushing & Screening is officially launching a fully electric range of mobile crushers and screens called Powertrack, built by SRHeavy (SRH). Dubbed the Powertrack, the range initially comprises a mobile jaw crusher, a mobile cone crusher, a mobile triple-deck screen and a mobile scalping screen.
Athos Crushing & Screening, sister company to Pilot Crushtec International, was established some five years ago with the mandate to provide mobile and static crushing and screening solutions, focusing on entry-level and mid-tier segments of the market. The overarching intent, explains Sales and Marketing Director Francois Marais, was to create a true “home of crushing and screening” with Pilot Crushtec concentrating on the premium end of the market.
In line with this strategy, Athos is debuting the e-Power Powertrack range in southern Africa. At a launch event held at the company’s Jet Park in July, the company introduced the Powertrack PT Pro J-11E jaw crusher, the Powertrack PT Pro C-20E cone crusher, the Powertrack PT Pro ST-08E mobile triple-deck screen and the Powertrack PT Pro SP-08E scalping screen to local customers. Target markets, says Marais, include contractors, quarries and certain mining applications, particularly sites where there is access to grid power or renewable energy sources.
Going fully electric route
“Ideal for aggregates, mining and recycling, the Powertrack PT Pro J-11E is equipped with an SJC108 jaw crusher with a 1 060 x 700 mm feed opening,” explains Marais. “The machine can handle a top size up to 600 mm and typically runs with a closed side setting of about 70 mm. It has the capacity to process between 150 and 500 tonnes per hour (tph), application dependent.”
