EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. ... Diversified industrial manufacturer Eaton Corporation today announced that Brightwater Manufacturing Ltd. of Christchurch, New Zealand, is equipping the world's largest mobile cone-type rock crusher, the TC1885C mobile crusher, with Eaton products. The TC1885C is used in rock quarries Onboard the 140-ton machine are Eaton® heavy-duty Series 1 pumps that power track drive and conveyors, Vickers® screw-in cartridge valves for conveyor controls, and Aeroquip® hose and fittings for all fluid-conveying arteries. At the heart of the rock crusher is a sophisticated control system equipped with Eaton's comprehensive F(x)(TM) electrohydraulic architecture. The hydraulic system was designed and supplied by Scarlett Hydraulics Ltd., New Zealand's largest full line Eaton distributor. Eaton's electrohydraulic architecture gives new capabilities to Brightwater rock crushers, which traditionally have been equipped with Eaton pumps, motors, valves, and fluid conveyance products.
