44 • ROCK products • May 2016 www.rockproducts.com EQUIPMENT & TECHNOLOGY CRUSHING & BREAKING Metso has introduced a new cone crusher to the global mar- ket. Metso designed the new HP5 with safety, simplicity and eco-efficiency in mind, the company said. Automatic settings, specialized maintenance tools, reduced emissions and ener- gy-efficient motors are just a few of the improvements built into this new cone crusher. 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 Nordberg HP5 leverages Metso's 100+ years of crusher know-how and experience with more than 9,000 HP cone crushers in operation world- wide. The result is a crusher that delivers the perfect com- bination of efficient crushing action, optimal feed size, high performance and the lowest cost per ton. With 5 percent larger feed size versus the HP400 and higher capacity than the HP500 in tertiary applications, the HP5 is just unbeatable in its class. In addition, a higher cavity den- sity improves interparticle crushing action for end products with more consistent gradation and superior shape. Less Downtime, Easy and Safe to Maintain An advanced fastening system for the mantle and bowl lin- er eliminates the need for backing material, and makes liner changes safer and faster. Thicker liners result in more mate- rial to wear. The HP5 cone crusher is also easy to disassem- ble, and all components are accessible from the top or side. The bowl and head are easily and safely removed with no interference. A new motor support allows the belts to be stretched hydrau- lically, and lifting points have been redesigned to easily and safely lift the HP5. Platform guards help to ensure operator safety and protection. The HP5 features Metso's innovative IC70C crusher automa- tion system. The IC70C is precisely designed to meet customer expectations and crushing plant requirements for consistent production, safety and easy control of crusher parameters. Feed and discharge-conveyor control, wear compensation, auto setting adjustment and computer remote control are just a few of the many benefits the IC70C system offers. Metso, www.metso.com Since being first introduced in 1906 by Universal Engineering Corp., the jaw crusher design has remained pretty much the same over the last century – until now. McLanahan Corp. spent two years collaborating with customers to fully understand their needs when it comes to primary crushing. Since the concept for the Freedom Series Jaw Crusher design was first introduced at ConExpo-Con/Agg 2014, the company has spent significant time doing shop testing with a variety of materials to ensure it is field ready. The Freedom Series Jaw Crusher is able to meet today's challenges and help producers do even more at the primary crushing stage. McLanahan has engi- neered its new jaw crusher line to give producers a higher performance pri- mary crushing solution than has ever been available before. The result is a safer, simpler and smarter jaw crusher. Some of the key features of the new crusher include: • Safety lock pins and hydraulic assist for wear parts change-out makes maintenance safer. • McLanahan engineers designed a simpler way to adjust close-side set- tings and provide tramp iron relief. Hydraulic rams are isolated from crushing action, allowing longer life and full automation, while virtually eliminating toggle migration. • The attack angle and crushing stroke pattern are engineered smarter to increase capacity up to 15 percent while minimizing wear on the jaw dies.
