Peak performance from Metso Superior MKIII
New primary gyratory crusher delivers up to 30% higher capacity and 70% less downtime
ACCORDING to Metso, their new Superior MKIII primary gyratory crusher provides a significant leap in performance, being the first high-speed primary gyratory to deliver up to 30% greater capacity and 70% less downtime in a comminution circuit.
‘Our mining customers are facing increasing pressure to optimize capital expenses and improve the efficiency of their comminution circuit. With the new MKIII, we are addressing these challenges directly by offering peak performance and maximum throughput, while reducing the cost of primary stage infrastructure,’ said Guillaume Lambert, vice-president of Mining Crushers at Metso.
Designed for the most demanding primary crushing conditions and with the new, patented SmartStation for optimized production, the Metso Superior MKIII is designed to bring a new level of cost-effectiveness and reliability to operations.
The MKIII is the first high-speed primary gyratory crusher on the market, surpassing traditional primary gyratory crushers by up to 30% in speed and thus having a 30% higher capacity.
Moreover, the rotable top shell ensures safe maintenance and reduces downtime by up to 70%. In addition, the MKIII can be paired with the Metso Metrics solution for predictive maintenance and online asset management.
‘The MKIII is the third generation of our trusted primary crushing technology and has been developed in close dialogue and co-operation with our customers. With the Superior MKIII, it is possible to use smaller machines to achieve the same highest-duty performance, making it the most capex-efficient technology on the market for the primary stage,’ concluded Mr Lambert.
