Sandvik launches the electrifying QH443E tracked cone crusher

Sandvik Mobile Crushing and Screening announced the launch of the QH443E, the latest innovation in tracked cone crushers, with a focus on sustainability and productivity in heavy duty applications. The new QH443E is Sandvik’s flagship Q-Range electric-driven cone plant. The new electric unit serves to bridge the gap between tracked mobile, wheeled portable, and stationary plants by combining electric drives and track mobility on a single platform. The QH443E electric cone crusher completes Sandvik’s electric train, which includes the UJ443E fully electric jaw crusher (launched in 2023), the QE342e hybrid scalper and the QA452e hybrid triple-deck Doublescreen (both launched in 2022).

 

Sustainability at its core

The QH443E features a new and improved heavy duty feeder design and is equipped with electrically driven components. Its advanced design allows for operation through a connection to an external electrical grid supply or on-board generator, providing flexibility and reducing operational costs.

 

The integration of the latest generation of fuel-efficient engines further enhances flexibility, allowing the unit to be operated via HVO (Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil) or diesel when required, maximizing uptime whilst lowering emissions and operating noise. 

 

Due to the electrification of the onboard components, running the QH443E via the genset can result in up to 25 % fuel savings and a 78 % reduction in hydraulic oil usage compared to previous generations. This informations are to be considered as test results and calculations reached under certain and controlled conditions. These test results and calculations should not be treated as specifications and Sandvik does not guarantee, warrant or represent the outcome of test results or calculations in any or all circumstances.

 

Unmatched productivity

The QH443E is designed to maximize uptime and boost output. With the renowned versatility and reliability of the Sandvik CH440 Hydrocone, Constant Liner Performance (CLP), and Hydroset CSS adjustment, this crusher delivers superior power transfer and precision crushing. The new Optik™ intuitive automation system and My Fleet remote monitoring provide 24/7 fleet management, geo-fencing, and remote operator support, ensure continuous crushing and optimal performance.

 

One platform, endless possibilities

Engineered to operate in the most hostile environments, the QH443E is ideal for large quarries and mines. Its robust design, featuring a unibody mainframe and premium components, ensures durability and strength. The load-sensing system for the feeder drive, camera, and level sensor guarantees continuous crushing, while the choice of chambers, throws, and settings allows for customization to suit a wide range of applications.

 

Safety and support

Safety is paramount in the design of the QH443E. The unit includes remote camera viewing of the crushing chamber, 270° access around the crusher for easy maintenance, and mandatory audible and visual warnings for safe operation. Sandvik’s extensive global distributor and sales support network ensures that customers receive the best support for their operations.

 

The Sandvik QH443E represents a significant step forward in the evolution of tracked cone crushers. With its focus on electrification, sustainability, and productivity, it is the perfect solution for large quarries and mines looking to enhance their operations. The QH443E is available to order in the European market now through Sandvik Mobile’s global network of sales areas and distributors and will be available globally later in 2025.
