The latest advancement within Powerscreen’s crushing and screening equipment is in automation and control systems, simplifying the interaction between operator and machine. Powerscreen implemented a wide-ranging upgrade to its plant control system to coincide with the redesign of its machines to be compliant with Tier 4 Interim emissions standards. According to the company, the upgrade transformed the user interface into a more streamlined and integrated solution. In earlier iterations within the mobile cone crusher range, the system had a multiple-controller setup with different interfaces for engine, cone setting, choke control and machine power. With the latest generation system, all engine and machine functions are controlled and operated on a single, intuitive and graphically driven Human Machine Interface (HMI) color display.
