Metso launch HP600e, HP800e and HP900e cone crushers
Three next-generation Nordberg HPe cones crushers for mining and aggregates applications
METSO have introduced three next-generation cone crushers – the HP600e, HP800e and HP900e – to their Nordberg HPe series. The units maintain the trusted HPe features while extending the series to larger crushing capacities for both aggregates production and high-demand mining applications.
‘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,’ said Ilkka Somero, product manager of HP cones in Metso’s Aggregates business area.
‘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,’ added Nicolas Gallay, director of gyratory and large cone crushers at Metso.
The HP600e and HP900e are an evolution to the existing range, built and based on class-leading proven technology, whilst the HP800e is a new addition to the series with a crusher size of 600kW (800hp). 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.
The Nordberg HP600e, HP800e, and HP900e units offer:
High performance with up to 15% more capacity* and 35% greater crushing force*, thanks to enhanced kinematics and higher power installation
New optimized 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%
A new feed cone lifting tool, allowing for safer maintenance when changing wear parts.
*compared with equivalent cone crushers in the same class.
Upgradability is a core philosophy of the HPe Series, meaning previous-generation crushers can be enhanced with the latest e-features or upgraded with modernized components. Due to innovative product development and interchangeability of parts, upgrading is said to be seamless and cost-effective.
