Check out the largest mobile crusher ever displayed at Hillhead - Equipment Journal

At Hillhead 2024, the UK-based Agg-Pro showcased the largest mobile crusher ever seen at the show.

The Jonsson L130 is one of five jaw crushers manufactured by Jonsson at their headquarters in Sweden.

Developed to crush Scandinavian granite, the L130 can achieve up to 800 tonnes per hour and performs exceptionally, even in demanding applications.

The 120-tonne mobile crusher features a 13-litre Stage 5 Volvo engine and a 400 kVA Volvo generator. The dual-power design of the L130 significantly reduces operational costs.

The crusher is extremely fuel efficient and when it is plugged in, the machine runs at a cost of about 45 cents per tonne for 1.48kWh per tonne.

The 10 cubic metre capacity hopper of the L130 can be increased to 18 cubic metres with optional extensions, and features 100 mm rubber liners with Hardox liners on the hopper edges. Jonsson products are customizable and the L130 can be equipped with an independent vibrating pre-screen if required.

To eliminate bridging, the L130 features a remote-controlled rock hammer that can be operated from the cab of an excavator or on the machine itself. There is also a viewing tower with a camera looking into the jaw, allowing monitoring whenever required, as well as a load sensor.

In the heart of the mobile crusher is a Metso Nordberg C130 jaw crusher, measuring 1.3 metres wide by 1 metre deep that is optimized for aggressive crushing to allow for coarse feed material.

Jonsson machines are also equipped with the Jonsson Monitoring System (JMS) — a web-based monitoring tool that helps optimize the production and administration of crushing operations. This integrated telematics system allows live remote monitoring of the machine’s production and component running statistics, including bearing temperatures, belt conveyor tonnage, warnings and signals and closed-side settings.

An 18-cm monitor can be fitted in the excavator cab for easily accessible read outs from Jonsson machines, as well as the ability to change parameters.

Agg-Pro was selected by a major quarry company in England to supply a replacement for one of its primary crushes. The company selected the Jonsson L130 mobile crusher.

The quarry produces 1.7 million tonnes of limestone aggregates annually for use in asphalt, concrete and construction. The quarry currently produces 750 tonnes per hour while consuming 20.2 litres of fuel per hour.

Jonsson has provided mobile crushing solutions since the company was founded in the 1950s. The manufacturer was acquired by Metso in 2018.
