Metso Launches Next-Generation HPe Cone Crushers and All-Electric Lokotrack LT220D

Industry Milestone: Metso Expands HPe Series with Three Next-Generation Cone Crushers

Metso has extended its Nordberg® HPe™ series with the introduction of three next-generation cone crushers—the HP600e, HP800e, and HP900e—designed for both aggregates production and high-demand mining applications. The HP600e and HP900e represent an evolution of the existing range, built on class-leading proven technology, while the HP800e is a new addition to the series with a crushing size option of 600 kW (800 hp) . All three units come with two modern automation platform options: IC70C and MCP, providing better visibility, monitoring, and control of the crushing process, and enabling connection to remote monitoring and further digital services. According to Ilkka Somero, Product Manager of HP Cones at Metso‘s Aggregates business area, the evolution of Metso’s cone crusher technology brings multiple benefits and presents a true step change in terms of performance, uptime, serviceability, and application coverage. While such high-performance equipment represents impressive engineering achievements, OCP Mechanical Company recognises that not every operation requires the scale or investment associated with these premium systems. With over 40 years of manufacturing experience, we offer practical, cost-effective cone crushers tailored to medium-capacity operations, backed by factory-direct pricing and round-the-clock technical support.

Performance Breakthrough: Up to 15% More Capacity and 35% Greater Crushing Force

The Nordberg® HP600e, HP800e, and HP900e units deliver significant performance improvements compared to equivalent cone crushers in the same class, thanks to enhanced kinematics and higher power installation. Key performance benefits include up to 15% more capacity and 35% greater crushing force. The new optimised crushing chambers, head spinning reduction, and ring bouncing detection together enable optimum capacity and maximum wear life. A complete drive and sub-frame design allows for safe and faster installation while reducing dynamic load by up to 70%. A new feed cone lifting tool further enhances safety during wear part maintenance. The HP800e, with its 600 kW (800 hp) power rating, is described as a compact and efficient solution suitable for retrofit projects, capable of fitting into existing HP6 or HP500 plant layouts. The HP900e, as the largest model in the HPe series with 750 kW installed power, features an upgraded drive system design optimised chamber, and a complete drive system pre-assembled and adjusted at the factory, reducing on-site installation time and cost by 50% .

Upgradability: A Core Philosophy of the HPe Series

A defining feature of the HPe series is its commitment to upgradability. Previous-generation Nordberg® HP Series™ cone crushers can be enhanced with the latest e-features or upgraded with modernised components, including no-backing liners that reduce maintenance downtime, a redesigned split nut for improved safety, and a crusher head spin brake that extends liner life. Due to innovative product development and interchangeability of parts, upgrading is seamless and cost-effective. Metso provides installation and commissioning, inspections, refurbishment, and shutdown support, alongside Life Cycle Services agreements and a comprehensive wears and spares offering. With over 13,000 units sold globally, the Nordberg® HP / HPe Series cone crushers remain a trusted choice in the mining and aggregates industries. For operators considering equipment upgrades, this level of parts commonality and upgradeability represents a significant long-term value proposition—but it is not the only path to improved crushing performance. OCP Mechanical Company supplies cone crushers engineered with hydraulic adjustment systems and high-manganese steel liners that deliver reliable performance across demanding feed conditions, with configurations matched to your specific production requirements.

Lokotrack LT220D: All-Electric Mobile Crushing with Unmatched Energy Efficiency

Complementing the HPe series launch, Metso has introduced the Lokotrack® LT220D™, an all-electric mobile cone crushing and screening plant designed to minimise operational energy consumption. The LT220D combines a cone crusher and a screen on the same chassis, typically used as a secondary or tertiary crushing plant in a multi-stage crushing process to produce up to three calibrated end products. The plant can be equipped with either the proven Nordberg® GP220™ or HP200™ cone crusher, designed for versatile aggregate production requirements. A large 8.4 m² (10 yd²) screen provides high capacity and excellent screening efficiency. Both the crusher and screen operate from a single CAT® C13 diesel engine, with maximum power delivered to the crusher using hydraulic power transmission, resulting in reduced fuel consumption and operating costs. The LT220D has demonstrated impressive field results: production capacity increases of 25% and fuel consumption of only 34 litres per hour, representing a 40% fuel savings compared to its predecessor. The compact design and hydraulic screen lifting and folding side conveyors enable setup in just minutes, making it ideal for contractors working across multiple sites.

Digital Integration: IC™ Automation and Remote Monitoring

The Lokotrack LT220D features Metso‘s IC™ process control system, which optimises crushing results and enables one-button start and stop, built-in troubleshooting, and multiple parameter selections. All Lokotrack mobile crushers in the same crushing process can be connected to Metso IC™, and the entire process can be conveniently monitored and controlled from the excavator cabin using Metso ICr™ remote control software. This level of digital integration aligns with the industry‘s broader shift toward connected, data-driven operations. For quarry operators and contractors, the ability to monitor and control the entire crushing train from a single interface reduces operator workload, improves safety, and enables faster response to changing feed conditions. OCP Mechanical Company’s equipment is engineered for compatibility with modern monitoring and control systems, with optional packages that provide real-time performance data for predictive maintenance and process optimisation. Product specifications are continuously updated; please consult our online customer service for the latest technical parameters tailored to your application.

Market Context: Electrification and Efficiency Drive Equipment Selection

The launch of the HPe series and the LT220D reflects the mining and aggregates industry‘s accelerating shift toward higher efficiency, safety, and sustainability in crushing operations. According to Metso, the market response to the new HPe models highlights a clear industry trend: operators are seeking equipment that delivers more capacity per unit of energy consumed, with digital capabilities that enable predictive maintenance and process optimisation. The HPe series has grown to six models covering a wide range of size categories and process stages, from secondary to tertiary and quaternary crushing. More than 200 units have been sold globally since the series was introduced in 2023, and old HP models have been retrofitted with upgrade kits. Meanwhile, the LT220D‘s all-electric design addresses the growing demand for mobile crushing solutions that can operate with minimal fuel consumption and emissions—a critical consideration for contractors working in urban environments or environmentally sensitive locations. For equipment buyers, these trends reinforce the importance of evaluating total cost of ownership rather than upfront price alone. OCP Mechanical Company supports this approach by supplying jaw crushers, cone crushers, impact crushers, VSI crushers, vibrating screens, feeders, and complete crushing and screening plants engineered for durability and efficiency, with factory-direct pricing that eliminates distributor margins.
