ETN Eaton Corp New

Eaton Corporation (ETN) said that its products will be installed in the world’s largest mobile cone-type rock crusher, the TC1885C mobile crusher. Brightwater Manufacturing Ltd. of Christchurch, New Zealand, has selected Eaton’s products for its TC1885C mobile crusher, which is used in rock quarries.

Installations in the 140-ton rock crusher machine include Eaton’s heavy-duty Series 1 pumps, Vickers screw-in cartridge valves, and Aeroquip hose and fittings for fluid conveyance. Furthermore, the rock crusher also installs a sophisticated control system equipped with Eaton’s comprehensive F(x) electrohydraulic architecture, adding new capabilities to the Brightwater rock crushers.

These installations in the crusher are further accompanied by Eaton’s controllers that help in bringing diagnostic information from the TC1885C engine’s CAN network, enabling Eaton’s CONTROL (F)x programming software to monitor and protect the engine and hydraulics, plus ensure operator safety.

These controllers added to Eaton’s product line-up have enabled Brightwater to choose from standardized Eaton components and also make Eaton its single-source hydraulics provider.

The hydraulic system was designed and supplied by Scarlett Hydraulics Ltd., New Zealand’s largest full line Eaton distributor.
