Komatsu Europe announces its new BR380JG-3, powered by a Komatsu EU Stage 5 emissions compliant diesel engine. To meet Komatsu’s commitment to a cleaner environment and increasing demands from customers to reduce CO2 emissions, the BR380JG-3 comes with a unique CO2 off-setting scheme, which is applied to each and every one sold in Europe.
The operating weight of the BR380JG-3 ranges from 33,500 to 35,310kg, with a maximum crushing capacity of 240 tonnes / hour. The fuel efficient, EU Stage 5 Komatsu engine has a power output of 213hp@2,050rpm. The latest Komtrax telematics, and the Komatsu Care maintenance program for customers, offer top fleet management and support, protect the machine against misuse and guarantee maximum efficiency and uptime.
Building on the reputation of the BR380JG-1, the Net Zero CO2 emissions BR380JG-3 incorporates a new two-axis type deck vibrator, which enables a smooth continuous flow of material to the highly efficient two stage grizzly separator bars. The semi-automatic feeding system incorporates crusher overload detection and automatic feed control to enable consistent and efficient production.
The machine has a 1,065x550mm jaw opening, with tapered side plates, and the automatic jaw setting feature is user friendly, and makes it easy for a customer to crush at a high volume to the desired discharge material size. With a maximum crushing capacity of up to 240 tonnes / hour and a 1,050mm wide main conveyor, which has a top speed of 120m/min, a stock pile of 37 tonnes can be achieved before any machine movement is required. The BR380JG-3 also has the option of a side muck conveyor and magnetic separator, which provide additional versatility.
An easy one-touch start-and-stop function, makes it quick and simple to operate the machine, and with the addition of the standard radio remote control, allows operators to multitask and increase their efficiency. The high resolution monitor panel, available in 27 languages, provides real time machine condition information, fuel consumption information and ECO guidance.
The BR380JG-3’s safety features include a foldable ground level maintenance access step, which allows safe easy access while retaining a transport width of 2,870mm.
