The P500 model Patriot cone crusher is engineered to operate most effectively at 500 hp. Other specifications unique to the P500 include a head diameter of 59 in., maximum feed opening of 13.5 in., and closed side settings from 3/8 to 2 in.

Features of the P500 model cone include:

- Inverted or reverse design of tramp relief cylinders ensure the hydraulic seals are not exposed to contamination during operation.

- Tramp relief system designed with fewer accumulators for less maintenance. An automatic pressure relief valve means additional protection.

- Universal crushing chamber design requires no major, time-consuming changeouts when transitioning from secondary to tertiary applications.

- If loss of clamping pressure, counterclockwise countershaft rotation causes crusher to open rather than turn down, which can cause significant damage.

Superior manufactures its full line of Patriot cone crushers in 200-, 300-, 400-, 500-, and 600-hp models. Each purchase comes with a lifetime warranty to protect the cone’s major components, including the adjustment ring, bowl, eccentric, head, mainframe, and main shaft.
