Fecon Head with Rock Crusher: Core Equipment for Aggregate Production

The Fecon head with integrated rock crusher is a robust attachment designed for primary crushing in hard rock applications. Mounted on carriers like excavators or skid steers, it combines forestry mulching and rock crushing capabilities, ideal for quarry prep, mining, and aggregate production.

Key Features & Parameters

– Crushing Capacity: Processes rocks up to 24 inches (610 mm) in diameter.
– Power Requirements: Compatible with carriers of 80–400 HP (60–300 kW).
– Throughput: 50–150 tons/hour depending on material hardness.
– Hydraulic System: Operates at 3,000–5,000 psi (207–345 bar) with flow rates of 30–60 GPM (114–227 L/min).

Model Max Input Size Weight Carrier Class
FHC-200 20″ (500 mm) 8,800 lbs (4,000 kg) 80–120 HP
FHC-300 24″ (610 mm) 12,500 lbs (5,670 kg) 150–200 HP

Production Line Integration

In a typical sand/gravel plant, the Fecon crusher head serves as the primary reduction unit, feeding crushed material to secondary cone crushers or impactors. Output is then screened via vibrating screens (e.g., 3-deck 6×20 ft) and classified into ASTM-spec aggregates (e.g., #57 stone, concrete sand).

FAQ

Q: Can it handle reinforced concrete?
A: Yes, but wear parts require frequent inspection due to rebar abrasion.

Q: What’s the maintenance interval?
A: Rotor teeth replacement every 150–200 hours; hydraulic filters every 500 hours.
