Why the Metso Lokotrack LT7150 Excels at Final Stage Crushing

When your operation depends on consistently producing high-quality, cubical end products, choosing the right vertical shaft impact (VSI) crusher can make all the difference. The Metso Lokotrack LT7150 is engineered specifically for the final stage of the crushing process, combining the proven performance of a Barmac VSI crusher with the flexibility of a track-mounted plant.

Whether you’re producing manufactured sand, road base, or premium aggregates for concrete and asphalt applications, the LT7150 delivers the performance and mobility today’s producers demand.

Designed for Superior Product Shape

Unlike compression crushers, the Lokotrack LT7150 is built around the Barmac B7150M Vertical Shaft Impact (VSI) crusher, which uses a rock-on-rock crushing principle. Material is accelerated through the rotor and crushed by impacting other material rather than crusher wear surfaces. This process produces consistently cubical particles while helping to optimize wear part life in many applications.

The LT7150 is commonly used as a tertiary or quaternary crusher for producing:

  • Manufactured sand
  • High-quality cubical aggregates
  • Asphalt aggregates
  • Concrete aggregates
  • Road base material

Its ability to produce a well-shaped final product makes it an excellent choice for producers focused on quality specifications.

Mobility Meets Productivity

The track-mounted design allows the LT7150 to be relocated around a quarry or job site as production needs change. A large feed hopper accommodates loading by conveyor, excavator, or wheel loader, while the efficient engine provides reliable power in demanding applications.

Additional features that help maximize productivity include:

  • Adjustable rotor speed through the control panel
  • Direct hydraulic drive that eliminates V-belts
  • Metso IC process control for simplified operation
  • Easy maintenance access with spacious service platforms

Ideal for High-Quality Manufactured Sand

As demand for manufactured sand continues to grow, VSI crushers have become an increasingly important part of many crushing circuits. The LT7150’s rock-on-rock crushing action helps create consistent particle shape while minimizing flaky or elongated particles, making it well suited for applications where product quality is critical.

For producers looking to maximize the value of their finished products, the LT7150 offers an effective combination of shaping performance, production flexibility, and dependable operation.
