Vertex Unveils VTJ1180DPS Mobile Jaw Crusher for High-Capacity On-Site Crushing

HOUSTON - Oct. 27, 2025 - PRLog -- Vertex has announced the launch of its new VTJ1180DPS mobile jaw crusher, a robust and efficient solution designed for high-capacity quarrying, mining, and recycling applications. The latest model demonstrates Vertex's continued commitment to engineering innovation and providing customers with reliable, field-proven crushing equipment.

Built on a durable chassis finished in Graphite Grey, with a body in Blue (RAL 6033) and black tracks, the VTJ1180DPS features a clean industrial design that combines performance with modern style. Every component has been optimized for productivity and operational convenience in demanding environments.

The feeding system includes a hydraulic folding hopper with a capacity of 8 m³ and a feed capability of 400 tons per hour, driven by variable frequency speed control. A pre-screen unit equipped with a standard 75 mm cassette spacing and 38 mm mesh ensures efficient removal of fines, allowing operators to customize screening apertures according to material conditions.

At its core, the VTJ1180DPS integrates the Vertex 1160 × 760 mm single-toggle jaw crusher, offering a maximum feed size of 630 mm and an adjustable discharge range between 70–200 mm. Powered by a 132 kW Siemens/WEG motor, the crusher achieves a rated speed of 260 rpm and delivers a production capacity of 380–560 tons per hour, making it one of the most capable units in its class.

Supporting the main crushing system, the main conveyor utilizes a 1000 mm wide belt, while a 650 mm side conveyor provides flexibility for handling oversize or bypass material. Power is supplied by a Cummins 300 kW Tier 3 / Stage IIIA engine, featuring a 13-liter displacement, 800-liter fuel tank, and 230-liter hydraulic oil tank, ensuring sustained performance even under intensive operation.

Key electronic components are sourced from Schneider Electric, reflecting Vertex's emphasis on reliability and safety. Operators benefit from a radio remote control system, handheld wired controller, and positive-pressurization control panel, all designed for intuitive machine management and reduced maintenance downtime.

The Strickland undercarriage provides dependable traction with a travel speed of 0.6–1.1 km/h and a maximum climbing angle of 12 degrees, enabling the VTJ1180DPS to move smoothly across uneven terrain. The centralized operator panel enhances operational visibility and ease of use, making it well-suited for both quarry and on-site recycling applications.

The introduction of the VTJ1180DPS further strengthens Vertex's position in the global mobile crushing market, delivering a solution that combines power, efficiency, and user-centric design. This model represents the company's next step in offering advanced equipment capable of meeting the evolving requirements of quarry operators worldwide.
