Metso Launches Three New Primary Crushers for Mining Safety

Industry Innovation: Metso Expands Primary Crushing Portfolio

The mining sector continues to evolve with a strong focus on safety, availability, and operational efficiency. Metso, a well-known supplier in the mineral processing industry, has strengthened its position as a crushing solutions provider with the launch of three new primary crusher models – Metso Primarok™, Metso Optirok™, and Metso Durarok™. Engineered to address the diverse needs of modern mining operations, these high-performance crushers offer superior capacity, safer maintenance, as well as competitive capital expenditure and total cost of ownership across a wide range of primary crushing applications and ore types. The official introduction took place in June 2026, with a global virtual launch event – the Metso Summit – scheduled for September 10, 2026, where the company will present the technical features and performance benefits of each model. This development reflects ongoing efforts by major suppliers to improve equipment reliability and operator safety. While such innovations are commendable, OCP Mechanical Company recognises that not every project requires the scale or investment associated with these high-capacity machines. With over 40 years of experience, we offer practical, cost-effective crushing solutions tailored to medium-capacity operations, backed by factory-direct pricing and round-the-clock technical support.

Primarok: High-Capacity Gyratory Crusher for Demanding Sites

Metso Primarok™ represents the latest evolution in gyratory crushing, building on more than a century of experience in the field. It is designed for the most demanding primary crushing environments, featuring optimised kinematics and a refined chamber design that accommodate large feed sizes while maintaining high throughput and stable performance. Every maintenance task has been re-engineered to improve safety and reduce downtime, allowing for quick and secure shutdowns. The largest model, the 61131, is reported to achieve a capacity of up to 20,000 tonnes per hour – the highest of any gyratory crusher on the market and the largest primary crusher currently available worldwide. This makes Primarok a suitable choice for mega-scale mining operations where volume is the primary driver. For most quarries and mineral processing plants, however, such extreme capacity may exceed actual needs. OCP Mechanical Company supplies a comprehensive range of jaw crushers, cone crushers, and impact crushers that deliver dependable performance for processing plants targeting medium throughput levels, with configurations matched to your specific feed material and product requirements. Our equipment is engineered for durability and ease of maintenance, ensuring reliable operation without the premium price tag associated with ultra-large-scale machinery.

Optirok: Compact Jaw Crusher with High Reduction Ratio

Metso Optirok™ is positioned as an evolution of the primary jaw crusher, designed for applications with limited space and height. It delivers high productivity with integrated scalping and a high reduction ratio, efficiently processing large volumes of run-of-mine material while enduring hard rock and abrasive applications. Its innovative features simplify maintenance, improving safety and reducing downtime. For operations where spatial constraints are a primary concern, Optirok presents a well-engineered solution that can deliver throughput of up to 2,500 tph. At OCP Mechanical Company, we understand that every site has unique layout considerations. Our engineering team works directly with you to design custom stone crusher plants that fit your specific footprint, material flow, and stockpiling requirements. We offer modular structures that simplify on-site assembly, reducing civil works costs and installation time. Whether you need a primary jaw crusher or a complete crushing and screening plant, our solutions are designed to maximise productivity within your available space, without compromising on quality or serviceability. Our factory-direct model ensures you receive the best possible value, with transparent pricing and no hidden costs.

Durarok: Robust Sizer for Challenging Material Conditions

Metso Durarok™ is a primary sizer that combines a simplified, heavy-duty design with high performance and durability. Its crushing rolls are engineered to withstand the heaviest loads and generate high crushing forces while maintaining low wear rates. Durarok enables higher utilisation and uptime compared to conventional solutions, helping reduce operating costs and increase capacity. It is well suited for handling sticky materials, soft to medium-hard ores, and demanding mining applications. For operations dealing with variable feed conditions or moisture constraints, this type of robust solution offers clear advantages. OCP Mechanical Company supplies VSI crushers and related equipment that handle medium-hard and abrasive materials with remarkable efficiency. Our equipment is engineered to deliver consistent output, low energy consumption, and simplified maintenance – all backed by a team that prioritises your operational success. With over 40 years of manufacturing experience and exports to more than 180 countries and regions worldwide, we have the knowledge and expertise to recommend the right equipment for your specific application, whether you are processing hard rock, sticky materials, or variable feed conditions.

Market Trends and the Importance of Primary Crushing

Primary crushing serves as the first stage in mineral processing, laying the foundation for overall recovery efficiency. The introduction of new products from established suppliers reflects ongoing innovation in the sector, driven by demands for higher capacity, improved safety, and reduced total cost of ownership. Metso’s new crushers take performance, availability, and maintainability to a new level, incorporating data-driven services and performance solutions. The upcoming Metso Summit on September 10 will showcase these technologies alongside other innovations in screening, grinding, flotation, and digital solutions. While these developments are significant, they primarily address the needs of large-scale mining operations with substantial capital budgets. For quarry operators, aggregates producers, and medium-scale mineral processors, the value proposition of such high-capacity equipment may not always align with operational requirements or return-on-investment expectations. OCP Mechanical Company fills this gap by delivering reliable, cost-effective crushing solutions that are built to last, with all components brand-new and backed by our direct factory support.
