The Nordberg C130 jaw crusher from Metso has a 21 percent larger cavity volume compared to previous models in this size class. The larger cavity volume means that more rock or ore is in the crushing process at one time. The increased volume combined with the extra large feed opening ensures high-capacity primary crushing in all demanding quarrying and mining applications.
The C130 has a 40-tonne operating weight and features pinned and bolted design for reliability, long life and easy service. Key parameters while designing this jaw novelty were reliability, crushing efficiency in stationary and mobile applications, and uncompromising safety and ease of use.
“Our C130 really stands out of the crowd with its bigger cavity volume. In fact, the cavity is larger in all three dimensions: deeper, wider and longer. Consequently, the new cavity can process over 20 percent more material, increasing crushing capacity significantly,” said Ilkka Somero, Metso’s Product Manager for jaw crushers.
The large, 1,300- x 1,000-mm (39- x 51- inch) feed opening of the C130 jaw crusher is able to process even the coarsest feed and maintain a trouble-free material flow through the crusher. This results in savings in blasting costs and allows the processing of coarser feed at the primary stage.
“This new design combined with a 160 kW (200-hp) power range, a small nip angle and excellent kinematics ensures aggressive crushing along the whole length of the crusher cavity,” Ilkka Somero adds. Thanks to the compact design, older crusher models can be easily replaced with the C130. In addition, the pinned and bolted design enables the crusher to be disassembled for transport.
The C130 features optional, easy-to-open composite flywheel guards that allow quick and safe access to all service points. The standard delivery includes lifting tools for jaw dies, cheek plates and a toggle plate, all contributing to operational safety.
The Nordberg C130’s operating speed is 220 rpm and the closed side setting ranges from 100 to 250 mm (4 to 10 inches). Operational weight is 40,100 kg (88,500 pounds), excluding options.
In addition to the composite guards, the new C130 can be customized to any application with options such as a wear-protected feed chute, an integrated motor bed with electric drive, a hydraulic setting adjustment, a rock breaker and a boom combination, and a IC1000 process automation package.
The launch of Nordberg C130 and previously introduced all-new Nordberg C120 and C150 jaw crushers continues the renewal of Metso’s proven, mid-size and large jaw crushers.
