The Metso Outotec HP500 Cone Crusher: Powering High-Capacity Crushing Efficiency
In the demanding world of aggregate production and mining, achieving consistent, high-volume output with optimal particle shape and minimized operational costs is paramount. The Metso Outotec HP500™ cone crusher stands as a robust and technologically advanced solution engineered specifically to meet these rigorous challenges. Representing the pinnacle of Nordberg® HP Series™ cone crusher technology, the HP500 delivers exceptional performance, reliability, and versatility for secondary, tertiary, and quaternary crushing stages.
Engineered for High Performance
At its core, the HP500 is designed to maximize productivity:
Powerful Crushing Capacity: Driven by a robust 400 kW (500 HP) motor, the HP500 generates significant crushing force. This power translates directly into high throughput capacities, capable of processing large volumes of hard rock, ore, or abrasive materials efficiently.
Optimized Cavity Design: Utilizing Metso Outotec’s latest generation “High-Performance” (HP) crushing chamber designs (like the EF – Extra Fine, F – Fine, MF – Medium Fine), the crusher achieves an ideal balance between capacity and product gradation. The optimized geometry ensures efficient inter-particle crushing and consistently produces well-shaped end products critical for applications like concrete aggregate or asphalt production.
Advanced Automation & Control: Integration with the Metso Outotec IC™ crusher automation system is a key strength. IC continuously monitors crusher load, mainshaft position, and power draw. It automatically adjusts settings in real-time to maintain optimal operating conditions (e.g., maintaining choke-fed operation), maximizing throughput while protecting the crusher from overloads. This results in consistent product quality with minimal operator intervention.
Built for Reliability & Ease of Maintenance
Durability and serviceability are critical for minimizing downtime:
Robust Construction: Heavy-duty components throughout – including a sturdy main frame, durable manganese liners designed for easy replacement in various profiles (bowl liner/mantle), and forged alloy steel mainshaft – ensure long service life even under punishing conditions.
Efficient Liner Change-Out: The patented hydraulic dual-acting cylinder design used for adjusting the crusher setting and clearing blockages significantly simplifies liner changes compared to traditional screw-adjust cone crushers. Features like hydraulic rotation of the bowl further streamline maintenance procedures.
Predictive Maintenance Tools: Compatibility with Metso Outotec Metrics™ telematics allows remote monitoring of
