Small Crusher Cuts Costs, Ups Production

Metso introduced the Nordberg HP900 Series cone crusher, which, the company reported, is built to increase performance while reducing CAPEX. The unit is an upgrade to its predecessor, the HP800 cone crusher. Roughly 80% of the parts are compatible between the two models. The HP900 comes with improved kinematics, raised pivot point, and a power increase, which leads to a 15% capacity increase, the company reported. It features a new lubrication system.

The unit is delivered preassembled, pre-wired and factory tested. Installation time is reduced by 50%, Metso reported. The crusher allows passage of tramp iron. Top service access to the head, shaft, eccentric and other major components make disassembly safe and easy, the company reported. “Metso wear parts can be replaced up to four times faster than similar cone crushers.” The crusher comes standard with Metso’s IC70C automation system.
