All specific advantages of the track-mounted 30tonne B3 machine are said to be preserved on the hybrid B3e model. Budget-conscious operators can now also benefit from lower maintenance costs and opportunities to operate connected units more cost-effectively.
Extremely compact transport dimensions, coupled with low transport weight and a state-of-the-art jaw (1000mm x 600mm width), ensure that the B3 (formerly ‘Argo’) remains a prominent player within the 30tonne class jaw crusher market. Keestrack says that even smaller exploitation operators appreciate the crushing capacity of the machine, which continuously delivers top-quality results operating at up to 300 tonnes/hour capacity. The B3’s performance is aided by gap widths of 45 – 170 mm (C.S.S.) that can be adjusted hydraulically at any time, creating a patented ‘non-stop system’ with overload protection and innovative wear monitoring.
The diesel-electric Keestrack B3e offers direct fuel savings and operating cost advantages when driving a subsequently connected electrical screening unit (e.g. the Keestrack K2e) or a stockpile conveyor (connected load: 32A (17.5 kW). While its dimensions, weight and equipment are largely identical to the B3’s diesel-hydraulic system, Keestrack’s hybrid B3e positions itself equally impressively as a profitable construction site crusher for rapid relocation, even for small batches.
