Metso launches three next-generation Nordberg HPe Series cone crushers
Metso is introducing three next-generation cone crushers, HP600e, HP800e and HP900e, to its Nordberg® HPe series, helping maintain the trusted HPe features while extending the series to larger crushing capacities for both aggregates production and high-demand mining applications, it says.
Ilkka Somero, Product Manager of HP Cones at Metso’s Aggregates business area, said: “The evolution of Metso’s cone crusher technology brings multiple benefits and presents a true step change in terms of performance, uptime, serviceability and application coverage. We are excited to expand the Nordberg HPe series and bring to market a wider offering of these high-performance crushers fit for different production purposes.”
Nicolas Gallay, Director of Gyratory and Large Cone Crushers at Metso, said: “Efficiency is the key to meeting the industry’s needs. With the robust new HPe units, we can offer performance, longer lifetime and higher cost efficiency to our customers.”
The HP600e and HP900e are an evolution to the existing range, built and based on proven technology. HP800e is a new addition to the series with a crushing size option of 600 kW/800 hp. All three units come with two modern automation platform options: IC70C and MCP. Metso’s modern automation systems provide better visibility, monitoring and control of the crushing process, and enable connection to remote monitoring and further digital services.
Nordberg HP600e, HP800e and HP900e units offer, Metso says:
- High performance with up to 15% more capacity and 35% greater crushing force, compared with equivalent cone crushers in the same class, thanks to enhanced kinematics and higher power installation;
- New optimised crushing chambers, head spinning reduction and ring bouncing detection to reach optimum capacity and maximum wear life;
- Complete drive and sub-frame for safe and faster installation while reducing dynamic load by up to 70%; and
- A new feed cone lifting tool, allowing for safer maintenance when changing wear parts.
Previous generation crushers can be enhanced with the latest e-features or upgraded with modernised components, according to Metso, explaining that it offers a range of upgrades for existing Nordberg HP Series cone crushers, allowing operators to boost performance and efficiency by integrating the newest HPe features or other advanced options.
Additionally, Metso provides installation and commissioning, inspections, refurbishment and shutdown support, Life Cycle Services agreements as well as a comprehensive wears and spares offering.
