The Metso MRC-36S: A Mobile Powerhouse for Efficient Secondary Crushing
In the demanding world of aggregate production and mineral processing, efficiency, mobility, and reliability are paramount. The Metso MRC-36S stands out as a robust and highly capable mobile cone crusher designed specifically to excel in secondary crushing applications where consistent product shape and high throughput are critical.
Engineered for Performance and Mobility
Built on a sturdy tracked chassis, the MRC-36S embodies the concept of bringing crushing power directly to the material source. Its core is the renowned Nordberg® HP300™ cone crusher, known globally for its:
1. Superior Crushing Efficiency: Optimized cavity design and high crushing forces deliver excellent reduction ratios and consistently shaped end products – essential for high-value aggregates like concrete or asphalt stone.
2. High Capacity: Capable of handling significant feed volumes typical in secondary stages after primary jaw crushing.
3. Reliability & Durability: Proven Metso components and robust construction minimize downtime and ensure longevity even under tough operating conditions.
4. Advanced Automation: Features like the Metso IC™ process control system allow for precise regulation of crusher parameters (e.g., CSS – Closed Side Setting), optimizing performance, protecting the machine from overloads, and providing valuable operational data.
The “S” designation often signifies a variant optimized for finer products or specific configurations within the HP300 range offered on mobile platforms.
Advantages of the MRC-36S
True Mobility: Self-propelled on tracks with hydraulic drive systems enabling easy positioning around the site without heavy haulage equipment.
Rapid Setup: Designed for quick deployment upon arrival at a new location.
Flexible Feed Options: Can be fed directly by an excavator or wheel loader via its integrated feed hopper or seamlessly integrated into a multi-stage plant via conveyor from a primary crusher.
Integrated Conveying: Features radial stockpiling conveyors that can swivel hydraulically to build large stockpiles without needing additional stacking equipment.
Compact Footprint (for its class): Maximizes operational space efficiency on constrained sites while delivering substantial crushing power.
Reduced Operational Costs: Efficient diesel-electric drive systems often translate to lower fuel consumption compared to purely hydraulic drives.
