The Nordberg HP900 from Metso
A new cone crusher for the aggregate and mining markets has been introduced. The crusher comes with improved kinematics, raised pivot point and power increase which is said to lead to a 15% capacity increase.
The Nordberg HP900 from Metso is an upgraded version of its HP800 cone crusher and includes a new lubrication system to help support the new performance level. Approximately 80% of the parts are compatible between the two technologies.
The unit is delivered pre-assembled, pre-wired and factory tested. The equipment is packaged with a rubber-pad mounted subframe and guards, aimed at ensuring quick and safe setup with a compact footprint, all of which results in reducing installation time by up to 50%.
The company explains that the unit’s tramp-release system allows for the passage of tramp iron, which helps to minimise production stoppages and protect internal components.
Top service access to the head, shaft, eccentric and other major components aids safe and easy disassembly. The company asserts that wear parts can be replaced up to four times faster than similar cone crushers.
The crusher is equipped with Metso's IC70C automation system which promises optimum operating parameters enabling the full potential of the machine to be realised. The IC70C is designed for ease of use, allowing for information to be tracked using a single screen and including help and trouble-shooting options.
