Metso has introduced the Nordberg® HP350e™ cone crusher, the latest addition to its HPe series, marking a significant advancement in crushing technology for the aggregates and mining industries. Mellott is proud to have one in stock at our Warfordsburg, PA location! The HP350e builds upon the success of the HP200e™, the HP350e™ delivers enhanced performance, improved uptime, and greater versatility, setting a new standard in secondary and tertiary crushing applications.
Enhanced Performance
The HP350e™ boasts up to a 10% increase in performance compared to its predecessor, the HP300, in secondary and tertiary applications. This improvement is attributed to several key enhancements:
- Advanced Kinematics: The crusher features new kinematics that provide up to 10% more head motion, resulting in better material throughput.
- Increased Power: With a 14% increase in power (kW) and a 17% increase in horsepower (HP), the HP350e™ delivers more crushing force, enhancing its capacity to handle demanding materials.
- Optimized Chambers: The introduction of more efficient crushing chambers contributes to the overall performance boost
These advancements collectively lead to a 20% increase in crushing force, enabling the HP350e™ to process materials more efficiently and effectively.
Improved Uptime and Serviceability
Metso has prioritized maintenance efficiency and safety in the HP350e™ design:
- No-Backing Liners: The use of no-backing liners simplifies liner changes, reducing downtime and eliminating the need for backing material, which is both time-consuming and potentially hazardous.
- Head Anti-Spin Brake: This feature extends liner wear life by preventing the head from spinning during operation, contributing to longer maintenance intervals.
- Enhanced Tramp Release System: The improved mounting of tramp release cylinders ensures quicker response to uncrushable material, protecting the crusher from potential damage.
- Feed Cone Lifting Tool: A new tool facilitates safer and more efficient handling during maintenance procedures.
Versatility Across Applications
The HP350e™ is engineered for adaptability, catering to a wide range of crushing scenarios:
- Multiple Kinematics Options: Operators can choose from three alternative kinematics settings to tailor the crusher’s performance to specific applications.
- Diverse Chamber Designs: With ten innovative, application-specific no-backing chamber designs, the HP350e™ can be configured for secondary, tertiary, and quaternary crushing stages.
- Alternative Speeds: The crusher offers various speed options to optimize performance based on material characteristics and desired output.
These features ensure that the HP350e™ can be precisely tuned to meet the unique demands of different crushing operations.
Seamless Integration and Upgradability
Metso has designed the HP350e™ with compatibility in mind:
- Parts Commonality: Many components are shared with the HP300, allowing for easier integration into existing operations and reducing the need for extensive spare parts inventories.
- Upgrade Kits: Current HP300 owners can access HPe upgrade kits, enabling them to incorporate features like enhanced kinematics, the head anti-spin brake, and ring bounce monitoring into their existing equipment.
This approach facilitates a cost-effective transition to the latest technology, extending the life and capabilities of existing crushers.
Modular and Mobile Solutions
To further enhance operational flexibility, the HP350e™ is available as part of Metso’s Nordplant™ Pre-designed Crushing Modules, offering:
- Quick Assembly: These modules provide convenient, all-in-one delivery with rapid setup, ideal for replacing crushing stations or establishing new quarries.
- Mobility: Metso has also introduced the Lokotrack® LT200HPX™, the first HPe series crusher on tracks, featuring a Nordberg® HP200e™ cone crusher and a 2-deck pre-screen with up to 40% higher capacity than the LT200HP.
These options provide operators with the flexibility to choose between stationary and mobile configurations based on their specific needs.
The Nordberg® HP350e™ cone crusher represents a significant jump forward in crushing technology, delivering better performance, improved uptime, and greater versatility. Its design reflects Metso’s commitment to innovation, safety, and sustainability, making it a compelling choice for operators seeking to optimize their crushing operations.
