Metso has launched three new primary crushers designed to address the varying requirements of modern mining operations. The new lineup includes the Metso Primarok, Metso Optirok and Metso Durarok crushers.

According to Metso, the crushers are engineered to deliver higher capacity, safer maintenance and lower capital expenditure and total cost of ownership across a wide range of primary crushing applications and ore types.

The Metso Primarok crusher is built for demanding primary crushing applications and is designed to handle large feed sizes while maintaining stable performance and high throughput. The crusher incorporates optimized kinematics and a refined chamber design and includes features intended to streamline maintenance procedures.

The Metso Optirok crusher is designed for mining applications with limited space and height constraints. As an evolution of the primary jaw crusher, it combines high-capacity crushing with integrated scalping and a high reduction ratio for processing large volumes of run-of-mine material.

The Metso Durarok primary sizer features a simplified heavy-duty design intended for challenging operating conditions. It is designed to process sticky materials and soft to medium-hard ores while maintaining low wear rates and supporting higher equipment utilization and uptime.

Metso said the new crushers incorporate data-driven services and performance solutions intended to improve availability and maintainability. The launch expands the company's crushing portfolio, which also includes jaw, cone, impact and gyratory crushers offered in stationary, semi-mobile and mobile configurations.
