Its robust design, efficient material flow and seamless integration into Lokotrack crushing trains, make it a compelling addition to the South African and African markets. According to Warren, the machine has three adjustable nip angles allowing for crushing a range of rock sizes. “The Lokotrack LT400J is a highly versatile piece of equipment with advanced technology to handle a variety of material types from the arduous hard rock, soft ore, large sized rock or a finer end-product. The machine incorporates two stroke adjustments options which determines how aggressively the machine crushes the material. Most operators are familiar with this concept as associated with cone crushers, but few people realise that similar adjustments can now be made on modern jaw crushers.” According to Marais, this new design offers multiple variables that ensures adjustment for maximum efficiency, production or liner wear life. Beyond this, the Lokotrack LT400J is equipped with a height-adjustable discharge conveyor, offering options for stockpiling. “The height-adjustable discharge conveyor provides several benefits to the client, including higher stockpiles which decreases the need for frequent clearing by front-end loaders. In turn, this reduces traffic around the machine. Less traffic not only improves site safety but also allows the machine to continue operating for longer periods without interruption,” explains Warren, adding that higher
The extended discharge conveyor offers three operating positions, improving stockpiling flexibility and maintenance access.
Night operations are enhanced by integrated LED lighting on the Metso Lokotrack LT400J, providing improved visibility and safer working conditions in low-light environments.
