Metso Wheeled Closed Circuit Cone Crusher Plant In Europe

The Metso Wheeled Closed Circuit Cone Crusher Plant: Powering Efficient Aggregate Production Across Europe

Europe’s diverse landscape of construction projects – from major infrastructure renewals to urban redevelopment and quarry expansions – demands versatile, efficient, and mobile crushing solutions that can thrive in constrained spaces and meet strict environmental standards. Enter the Metso Wheeled Closed Circuit Cone Crusher Plant, a highly optimized system rapidly becoming a cornerstone for contractors seeking maximum productivity with minimal logistical hassle across the continent.

Engineering Excellence on Wheels

Unlike traditional static plants requiring complex foundations or bulky tracked units often necessitating specialized transport permits on public roads (especially critical within dense European road networks), Metso’s wheeled closed-circuit plants offer unparalleled mobility. Built on robust chassis with integrated axles and fifth-wheel couplings (like the Lokotrack® ST4.10™), these units can be quickly transported between sites using standard prime movers (semi-trucks). This translates directly into significant time savings and reduced mobilization costs – a major advantage for multi-site contractors or projects with phased crushing requirements.

The Power of Closed-Circuit Efficiency

The core strength lies in its closed-circuit design, typically featuring:

1. Pre-Screen: An integrated vibrating grizzly feeder or scalping screen efficiently removes fines before they reach the cone crusher chamber.
2. High-Performance Cone Crusher: At its heart sits a Nordberg® HP™ or GP™ series cone crusher renowned for high reduction ratios, excellent particle shape (cubicity), consistent gradation control, and reliability under demanding conditions.
3. Recirculating Conveyor: Undersize material bypasses the crusher via a side conveyor (often radial), while oversized material feeds into the cone.
4. Onboard Screen: Crushed material discharges onto an efficient triple- or double-deck inclined screen.
5. Closed-Loop System: Oversized material from the screen returns seamlessly via a recirculating conveyor back to the crusher feed hopper.

This intelligent loop delivers crucial benefits:

Precise Product Control: Operators achieve exceptionally consistent end-product specifications by continuously recrushing oversize material until it passes through the screen apertures.
Optimized Crusher Efficiency: By removing fines before crushing (“pre-screening”) and feeding only oversize rock into the cone chamber (“closed circuit”), wear parts last longer, energy consumption per ton produced is reduced significantly (often by 15-30%), and
