Industries Ser ved: Infrastructure and Mining Johnson Crushers International, Inc. Johnson Crushers International, Inc. (JCI) designs, manufactures and markets full lines of cone crushers, horizontal and incline vibrating screens, track mounted, portable and stationary crushing and screening plants under the KPI-JCI brand. In 2012, JCI launched the Kodiak Plus K500+, a new 500-horsepower, remote-adjust cone crusher. The K500+ is the latest addition to the Kodiak Plus Cone Crusher family, which previously consisted of three models – the K200+, K300+ and K400+. This new model fills a demand for larger secondary and tertiary cone crushers that are used by high production aggregate facilities. In addition to the new model, JCI implemented new refinements to the product line, including a new hybrid cast/fabricated base frame design, the 'MILO' automated control system and a new patented bearing design. The Kodiak Plus K500+ Cone Crusher was unveiled at the 2012 MINExpo in Las Vegas. In addition to its product innovations, JCI also added new machine tools to improve safety and quality, reduce lead times and increase efficiencies. In its vibrating screen manufacturing facility, JCI invested in a plasma / punch, robot welding cell and a mill turn lathe, which helped JCI set an all-time unit screen shipment record. In its cone crusher manufacturing facility, JCI has added a multitasking VTL, which is a combination machining center and turning center. It completes turning, milling, boring, drilling and more in a single set-up, making it a one-and-done operation. This addition is one of the most significant machine tool capital improvements in Astec's history. A. A. B. C. D. E. Johnson Crushers facility located in Eugene, Oregon, USA 16 F. B. When the job requires being on the move, track-mounted equipment is the answer. The FT300 Track plants are engineered for maximum cone crushing productivity. The Kodiak® Plus Series of cone crushers have patented innovations that provide efficiency. KPI-JCI offers complete systems that provide the total solution for successful aggregate operations. KPI-JCI's GT200CC track mounted cone/screen close circuit plant provides up to 20% more screening area and production capacity than comparable models. The Cascade Incline Screen from KPI-JCI is a simple, proven and reliable design that features an externally moving vibrating mechanism that is engineered for efficiency and reduced cost of operation.
