Cummins’ off-highway business executive director was speaking after the recent launch of Accelera by Cummins, a new brand for the company’s New Power business unit.

Accelera by Cummins provides a diverse portfolio of zero-emissions solutions for many of the world’s most vital industries empowering customers to accelerate their transition to a sustainable future.

“As an industry, our next big challenge is around carbon emissions. Cummins embraces this opportunity and always tries to bring as low emissions products to the marketplace as we can.

“With the complexity and the variation of the applications in the off-highway world, it requires us to focus on two main areas: advanced and internal combustion engine technology, with further enhancements to performance and compatibility with cleaner fuels, and zero-emissions solutions, like hydrogen fuel cells, battery technology and electrolysers.

“We are technology leaders today and will be technology leaders tomorrow.”

Cummins reported strong performance for its fourth quarter and full-year 2022. Revenues for the fourth quarter were US$7.8bn. Excluding Meritor, the acquisition of which was completed on 3 August 2022, revenues were $6.6bn, 13% higher than the same quarter in 2021.

Excluding Meritor, sales in North America increased by 25%, and international revenues decreased by 1% compared to the fourth quarter of 2021. But strong demand across all global markets was offset by a slowdown in China and Russia, where operations have been suspended indefinitely.

The massive new UltraMax 1600X-OC Portable Impactor Plant has been designed for larger-size aggregate operations and quarries, says the manufacturer.

It features Eagle’s UltraMax 69X Impactor with a 175.26cm x 129.54cm feed opening to allow larger material into the impactor to increase throughput, up to 1,000tph.

The idea is to help producers “prep less and crush more,” says Eagle Crushers. It’s all about reducing costs and increasing profits.

Also new from Eagle Crusher is an 8×20 screening plant with an integrated feed conveyor and blending gates. This plant is for producers that demand multi- product screening, says Eagle, and can produce up to four products simultaneously (three with absolute sizing) or return the oversized product for further reduction.

As for the company’s new look and feel, after decades of manufacturing its equipment in orange, Eagle Crusher is going for more black detail … without dropping its signature orange paint scheme altogether. The addition of black to things like frame rails, handrails, and fly wheels, the new design will exemplify rugged durability says Eagle Crusher.

These changes have been enabled by kinematics and new chamber designs.

The model’s new liners are fitted in the crushers without backing material, making maintenance breaks shorter and the liner replacement faster, safer and less hazardous for the environment.

”The evolution of Metso Outotec’s cone crusher technology brings multiple benefits and presents a true evolution for aggregates producers in terms of performance, uptime, serviceability and application coverage,” says Ilkka Somero, product manager, Nordberg HP Cone Crushers in Metso Outotec.

“The concrete benefits include enhanced performance, 10% more head motion, 20% more kW power, 20% more force, new  and more-efficient chambers, an anti-spin brake for higher uptime, serviceability improvements … and a feed cone lifting tool.

“Environmentally, the new HP200e crushers are also a more friendly solution, as they do not require backing material. We are truly happy to be able to offer this latest evolution of our leading crusher technology to our customers,” he said.

Metso Outotec is also offering strong aftermarket support and parts availability for the HP200e crushers. The majority of spare parts in the current HP200 and the new HP200e are common, which will enable continued global spare part support for new units.

The Finnish crushing and screening plant giant has also established a start-up inventory for HP200e-specific parts in Europe and North America. Furthermore, a full scope of HP200e crushing chambers will be available in main stocking locations for the launch markets.

Metso Outotec also provides a head & bowl upgrade kit for the existing HP200 cone crushers, allowing the installation of no-backing chambers and for customers to enjoy the same health, safety and environmental benefits as with the new HP200e model.

Three other HPe cone crushers – the HP350e, HP450e, and HP600e – will be introduced over the next two years.

Acquired by Metso Outotec in 2019, McCloskey International is part of a group of construction, quarrying, construction and demolition (C&D) and wider recycling industry-suited plant brands that also include McCloskey Environmental, Lippmann, MWS Equipment, and Tesab.

“Last year was a really busy year for us and a record-breaking year, both for McCloskey International and the wider group [of brands] and we are growing again this year,” says Toni Laaksonen, senior vice president of McCloskey International.

“The acquisition of Tesab last year helped grow our revenues. It was a very big thing for us. We have also expanded organically, recruiting more dealers. For example, in Africa, we have grown our dealer networks significantly.

“We have also seen good dealer growth in North America, helping us secure new business.”

Laaksonen says that customers globally are looking for more and more sustainable products, including more electric-powered equipment: “There are certain markets that are very demanding on the electric plant side, such as the European market. We are also seeing this trend in certain American states.

“This demand has led to us introducing new electric-powered solutions, such as electric-power options for our cone crushers. We are also electrifying our heavy-duty jaw crushers, including the J6. Our screeners are already available as dual-power plants.

“We are also looking to grow our business organically through further acquisitions.”

Among McCloskey International’s new machines are the ultra-efficient S190 dual-power portable vibratory screener, and the ST100TVR stacker, the latter said to reach new heights in sustainability, efficiency and fuel savings with its dual power option and lift axle option, allowing it to switch from track mode to radial mode in seconds.

In an eye-catching technical development elsewhere in the group, MWS Equipment has partnered with Metso Outotec's pump and cyclone division to bring new levels of efficiency to its washing equipment.
