Metso’s new HP5 cone crusher was introduced to the global market at the AGG1 trade show in March. It was created with safety, simplicity and eco-efficiency in mind, featuring automatic settings, specialized maintenance tools, reduced emissions and energy-efficient motors.
The Nordberg HP5 follows the successful HP3, HP4 and HP6 as the fourth model in an all-new range of high performance cone crushers. The design of the new HP5 draws on over 100 years of crusher know-how and their experience with more than 9,000 HP models in operation worldwide. Metso says that the result is a crusher which delivers the perfect combination of efficient crushing action, optimal feed size, high performance and the lowest cost per ton.
The HP5 has a five percent larger feed size than the HP400, and higher capacity than the HP500 in tertiary applications. In addition, a higher cavity density improves interparticle crushing action resulting in end products with more consistent gradation and superior shape.
An advanced fastening system for the mantle and bowl liner eliminates the need for backing material, making liner changes safer and faster, while thicker liners result in more material to wear.
The HP5 cone crusher is also easy to disassemble and all components are accessible from the top or side. The bowl and head can be easily and safely removed.
A new motor support allows the belts to be stretched hydraulically, and lifting points have been redesigned to easily and safely lift the HP5. There are platform guards which help ensure operator safety and protection.
The HP5 features Metso’s innovative IC70C crusher automation system. This system is precisely designed to meet customer expectations and crushing plant requirements. The result is consistent production, safety and easy control of crusher parameters.
Some of the many benefits of the IC70C system are: control of the feed and discharge conveyors, wear compensation, auto-setting adjustment and remote control.
