Share on Facebook<\/strong><\/a><\/em>Share on Twitter<\/strong><\/a><\/a><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Metso has pushed ahead with a new evolution of its HP range, introducing the HP350e and other models for crushing operators.<\/p>\n\n\n\n That question challenged Metso as it sought to develop the Nordberg HP, which was reviewing the classic workhorse from the \u201cground up.\u201d The result is the Nordberg HPe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Nordberg HPe series aims to provide improved performance, uptime, application coverage, and serviceability more sustainably than its predecessor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cNordberg HP cone crushers are globally accepted as the go-to crusher for aggregates and mining,\u201d Metso\u2019s cone crusher product range Ilkka Somero said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThe range continues to evolve and align with customer and industry needs and demands. Today there are drivers pushing for ever higher efficiency in productivity. In terms of overall production but also in terms of production of most valuable product fractions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cIn HPe development, this is achieved with higher overall performance, higher uptime with ease of service and maintenance as well as with enhanced application flexibility.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n When Metso examined the key mining and aggregates industries it serves worldwide, it noticed efficiency is the central focus of many operations. Quarry and mining businesses are looking to achieve maximum performance in throughput, reduction, or higher yield of certain aggregate fractions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The new Nordberg HPe series needed to meet all of these requirements while also addressing the sustainability challenges that many businesses face every day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Metso has further developed the kinematical crushing action and crusher chamber. The improvements balance kinematics, chambers, release force, and power rating. The redesign enables the HPe series to deliver more head motion, higher power, and new chambers. The upgrades of the kinetics enable the Nordberg HPe series to cover more applications than previous models.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Operators will have alternative kinetics along with improved chamber designs and application-specific options to select from. Metso\u2019s team can assist customers in creating the optimal chamber for their needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n According to Metso\u2019s data, the new HP350e crusher delivers ten per cent performance compared to the traditional HP300 crusher in secondary or tertiary applications.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cOur development engineers and manufacturing facilities have provided a full range of eRange cones from 200 to 900kW, following a full redesign of a classic workhorse. We are excited to bring these products to the market to increase our customer\u2019s bottom line,\u201d Metso\u2019s business development manager for aggregates, John O\u2019Reilly, said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThe evolution enables us to meet industry needs where you want more production and, more importantly, more efficiency when producing the needed product yields.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n One of the major upgrades in the HPe series involves the crusher liners. Metso\u2019s latest update allows for the installation of these liners without backing material. While this may seem minor, the update significantly simplifies liner changes, making them easier and safer for operators.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This reduces the need for quarries to source, store and transport backing compounds. Operators will also not need to handle, mix and pour the backing material, making operations safer and line change-outs faster. Metso can also tailor the liners to suit particular applications, including manufactured sand or specific aggregate fractions with its NF liner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The anti-spin brake and ring bounce monitoring feature help extend the lifespan of the liners while also safeguarding the machine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n These upgrades will help operators increase machine uptime and productivity in the quarry. Metso has designed the HPe range, including the HP350e, to fit within the HP300 footprint while delivering more power.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cIt is an evolution, but it is not just that we\u2019ve put more power onto the machine and redesigned the cavity kinematics; there are more safety features, which is very important and simpler maintenance,\u201d O\u2019Reilly said. <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cIt has the same footprint as its predecessors. For example, the HP450e replaces the existing HP400 but is the same size on the outside.\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong>Because it is the same size envelope, there is no extra structural work to replace it. You can switch one in and one out.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n The HPe series is set to be unveiled progressively throughout the year by Metso at the world\u2019s biggest quarrying trade shows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The original equipment manufacturer is set to launch the HP450e at AGG-1 in St Louis.<\/strong> Attendees to bauma 2025 in Munich, Germany, can witness the debut of the HP600e<\/strong>. Other launches with the Nordberg HPe range will include the 600e later in 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Metso\u2019s Australian team and service and support network will fully support the introduction of the HPe series into Australia. With extensive industry experience, the team can help optimise a Nordberg HPe series crusher to suit the customer\u2019s application.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cMetso is strongly focused on supporting the Australian quarry industry with world-class aggregate-producing solutions. The Nordberg HPe range is the evolution we believe our customers have been asking for,\u201d O\u2019Reilly said. \u2022<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
