Jonsson has become a well-recognised name in the Nordic region for its range of high-capacity crushers, and now it is set to test them down under.
When Jonsson was looking for its dealer, it wanted a company that had dealt with the bigger quarries, equipment, and projects.
Luckily, the Swedish-based original equipment manufacturer found Tutt Bryant Equipment. The Australian dealer was recognised earlier this year at Metso’s Lokolaunch event in Finland as the highest selling Lokotrack distributor worldwide.
“[Jonsson] is really for the big end of town for the big, professional crushing contractors, quarry operators and mines,” Doran said.
“Our name came up because of our experience with large Lokotrack distribution.
“It is a good fit for us and a good fit for them because we have bought in some big gear over the years and know how to look after the customer and the equipment.”
Jonsson introduced its first crusher in 1984. Six years ago, the company became part of Metso, which fuelled an expansion of its factory to supply more quarries with high-capacity crushers with minimised operating costs.
Now, Tutt Bryant Equipment, the exclusive Jonsson distributor in Australia, is bringing the robustly designed crushers to help Australian quarries cope with high-capacity crushing.
The Jonsson range includes jaw and cone crushers as well as boutique equipment, including the double crusher, which has a jaw crusher, cone crusher, and screen all on the same chassis. Its primary crushing range goes from 80-tonne to 200-tonne models, while it also has around five cone-crushing models and a wide range of screening options. Its L160 tracked jaw crusher is one of the largest available on the market but is also mobile.
“The experienced operators would understand that this is a whole of life exercise. They know that it is going to cost them a little more upfront, but it is going to last them 15-plus years, around 30,000-plus hours and low-energy use of those hours,” Doran said
“The machine is going to pay for itself pretty quickly despite being a bigger capital investment.”
Jonsson understands that quarry operators, depending on the application, are searching for transportable machines to take with them from site to site. Because of this, the manufacturer has designed all of its equipment to be towable.
“It allows you to have that high-capacity equipment, but you don’t need six trucks and two weeks to assemble the plant. You could assemble one of these machines and be crushing in a day,” Doran said.
“Some of the expert contractors can do it in four hours like a full assembly and then be crushing straight away.”
Jonsson has rigorously tested its electrical components to work in the harsh conditions. The Jonsson Monitoring System, also known as the JMS, provides access to a range of digital services.

The JMS can upload a signal from the crusher via a modem to a database that tracks all its activities. The database information is showcased in a graphical dashboard, with reports and analysis on everything from day-to-day operations to preventive maintenance.
All the belts on the crushers are equipped with a scale which the JMS can display data on. This enables operators to monitor the product coming off each belt and track the yield and performance to ensure optimal productivity.
“The control system and the monitoring system that is available on this machinery is world-class,” Doran said.
“It offers an amazing amount of detail. It is great information for a smart operator to be able to apply and make their operation more efficient and more profitable.”
All of Jonsson’s crushing equipment use diesel-electric drives, as opposed to the conventional diesel-hydraulic drives, which lowers fuel costs. The machines are equipped with an engine and generator on board and can function off mains power.
If a quarry has mains power access available, the Jonsson crusher can be fully operational at full capacity while running at the cheapest cost possible compared to diesel.
“You won’t get a better cost per tonne if you are using mains power, which these machines provide,” Doran said. “With it being high capacity, we see it being a really good fit for those bigger quarry operators and contractors and mines,” he said.
Tutt Bryant Equipment will attend the IQA 2024 National Conference in Adelaide from October 15–17.•
