R250 cone crusher: Advanced design & easy maintenance

Like its predecessor (Raptor 200), the R250 has slower speed ratios, providing greater flexibility in production, along with a durable, low-profile design and the ability to be fitted onto a portable chassis. The inverted tramp release cylinders keep hydraulics cleaner than conventional designs. Unique to the R250 is the integrated countershaft box and single-head bushing, which make maintenance easier and lower costs.

Cost-effective crushing for material and rock processing applications

  • Maximise throughput while meeting product specs

    Material specifications across aggregate applications often demand precision in shaping and grading. Raptor cone crushers produce consistent gradation profiles, helping aggregate producers hit specification targets with fewer adjustments. The crushing action features a high pivot point, ensuring material is gripped quickly and pulled into the crushing zone, delivering a cubical product shape while minimizing oversized material recirculation.

  • Reduce maintenance downtime

    Long-lasting components, high-quality alloy lining options, and optimized chamber designs deliver extended equipment life, reducing changeout frequency and improving plant uptime. Features such as mainframe inspection ports, cartridge countershaft boxes, and a socket-less design provide easy access to crusher internals for faster, safer downtime.

  • Optimise crusher performance with expert support

    Benefit from comprehensive technical support throughout the equipment lifecycle. Application engineering services include material characterization testing to match crusher configuration with specific rock types and product requirements. Meanwhile, performance optimization programs and remote monitoring help to extend component life and maximize throughput.

Versatile crushing to application needs

Every crushing project is different. Our range of Raptor cone crushers is configurable to meet your application needs. So, you can operate them with the confidence that the most common challenges are being addressed, delivering excellent results at low cost.

Single-size materials

Quarries face increasing demand for a narrow range of single-size materials. Raptor cone crushers feature a high stroke to produce a better particle shape and reduce the circulation load in a closed circuit. Because of the lower circulation load, they also produce less sand. This means less waste: a vital factor in a business when sustainability is a high priority.

Precise shape

Construction applications, such as highway applications and concrete production, often require precise aggregate shape, stable grading, and a uniform particle-size distribution with a minimal fine fraction. Raptor cone crushers’ products meet or exceed international standards for construction materials. In sand production, these crushers reliably manufacture washed sand that meets concrete standards, including individual rounding and minimum fines.

Waste recycling

Raptor cone crushers effectively process recycled concrete, old asphalt pavements, and masonry into reusable stone for new construction, supporting circular economy objectives while reducing demand for new material extraction.

Footprint and installation

A low-profile mainframe design allows integration into existing plant layouts with limited headroom. The Raptor 250 is particularly suitable for portable and mobile chassis mounting. Crushing units arrive on structural frames ready for concrete foundation mounting or mobile unit installation. Hydraulic and lubrication skids are pre-wired and standardized, reducing site commissioning time. Crusher weights range from 8,917 kg (R250) to 24,470 kg (R450). Access clearances for maintenance are designed for easier head assembly removal, bowl extraction, and countershaft maintenance.

Utilities, integration, and system requirements 

The integrated machine control system is ready for integration with most protocols and central/plant control systems. 

Maintenance & service

Raptor cone crusher maintenance and service

Our comprehensive maintenance support includes routine inspection protocols, genuine OEM spare parts, and progressive rebuild programs that extend equipment life beyond initial design expectations. Meanwhile, remote monitoring services provide 24/7 crusher health tracking with proactive alerts for hydraulic pressure deviations, lubrication flow anomalies, and crushing force trends indicating liner wear progression.

Frequently asked questions

FAQs for froth pumps

A high pivot-point crushing action ensures material is gripped quickly and pulled into the crushing zone, minimising slippage that causes gradation inconsistency. The advanced automation system can also optimize crusher performance with feed control, setting adjustment, and monitoring of critical lubrication and hydraulic parameters. Power-based control detects changes in feed characteristics and automatically adjusts operating parameters to stabilize crusher load.

The Raptor’s crushing chamber geometry is engineered to handle irregular or fluctuating ore blends effectively, with less sensitivity to uneven feeds than that of competitor equipment. 

Selecting appropriate liner materials based on material abrasivity provides the foundation for extended wear life. FLS offers three standard grades of cone crusher liners (SM330 for average abrasive ore type, HM830 or XM1130 for more abrasive ores), which allow you to address changing ore characteristics. Chamber profile optimization through 3D laser scanning identifies uneven wear patterns that reduce overall liner utilization. Our experts compile, analyze, and interpret the scanned data, then discuss wear-life estimations, shutdown planning, and opportunities for improved operating procedures.

Yes, Raptor cone crushers can process recycled materials, such as concrete and asphalt construction waste. The tramp release system protects against occasional uncrushable objects that may be present in recycled material streams.

Several features help to reduce maintenance downtime. Lighter components mean smaller cranes, simpler lifts, and faster liner changes, while top and side access enable quick maintenance access. Lubrication and hydraulic systems are also more accessible and easier to reset. 

When it comes to mantle and bowl liner replacement, wear profiles are more predictable than those of competitors, enabling reliable shutdown planning. During replacement, no backing material is needed behind the liners, simplifying and speeding up the changeout process, while eliminating the need to maintain MSDS data sheets or store and handle hazardous substances. The same hydraulic motor that rotates the bowl to set the crushing gap will rotate the bowl completely out, making liner changing easy and allowing you to adapt to different applications.
