McCloskey International

NEW IMPACT CRUSHER IS MOST COMPACT, POWERFUL TO DATE

McCloskey International has introduced the I4C, the latest entry into its impact crusher lineup, bringing the power and productivity of an 1,125-mm (44.3-inch) impactor to a compact machine for maximum maneuverability. These new I4C impact crushers include a deep chamber creating greater tramp release space, aggressive blow bar and apron design, 4-bar variable speed rotor, and three crush zones, with an optional fourth strike. The I4C can be set up as a primary or secondary crusher to handle a wide range of materials, from C&D debris to aggregates and asphalt.
