Crusher automation
ACS-c 5
Powerful automation without the complication
Introducing the new ACS-c 5 for Sandvik 800i cone crusher series – our most powerful user-friendly automation system to date. By integrating the powerful capabilities of all crusher modules and subsystems into a single automation system, we’ve made 800i crushers easy and intuitive to use.
Designed around the needs of the people who use them
The latest 800i crushers with new ACS-c 5 combine simple yet robust mechanical design with powerful user-friendly automation to better support diverse operational roles. The new role-based interaction functionality facilitates the work of operators, maintenance personnel, and engineers by offering guidance, access to valuable data, and tools for proactive maintenance and optimization.
Clarified responsibility with role-based interaction
Operator
- The automation system guides the operator through alarms and recommended actions, streamlining the decision-making process during alerts and minimizing the impact of potential issues
- This guidance helps operators achieve their targets without the concern of losing shifts due to downtime
- Easy access to manuals facilitates quick self-help, empowering operators to address issues independently and efficiently
Maintenance
- The maintenance personnel have access to an improved historical and operational data log, providing a comprehensive overview of the crusher’s performance
- The inclusion of 90-day historical logs allows for in-depth analysis and tracking of the equipment’s performance over an extended period
- Advanced tools aid in defining, improving, and updating maintenance schedules, contributing to more effective and proactive maintenance practices
Process/reliability engineer
- The new automation system offers engineers more opportunities to monitor, analyze, and optimize the crusher’s performance
- The ability to create crusher programs and fine-tune system limits allows for a more customized and optimized operation
- Performance optimization through insights on feed conditions, load cycles, pressure distribution and uncrushable objects
- Proactive warnings generated by the system help prevent unplanned maintenance downtime, enabling service engineers to address issues before they escalate
