Metso Unveils Fully Electric Lokotrack EC Crushers with LT400J and LT350C

Industry Advancement: Metso Expands Lokotrack EC Range with Full Electric Drive

Metso is strengthening its position in mobile crushing technology with the expansion of its Lokotrack® EC range, introducing a new diesel-electric power line that represents a significant step toward fully electric mobile crushing. The first two models in this industry-leading range are the Lokotrack® LT400J, a 68-ton mobile jaw crusher for primary crushing of hard rock and recycled aggregates, and the Lokotrack® LT350C, a 50-ton mobile cone crusher for secondary and tertiary crushing. What sets these machines apart is that all process functions are electrically driven, marking a fundamental shift from traditional hydraulic-powered mobile crushers. The Lokotrack EC range has been developed using new, modular architecture that reduces the number of components and provides scalable solutions adaptable for different applications and capacities. As Jarmo Vuorenpää, Director of New Lokotrack Offering at Metso, explained, when external electricity is available, the new electric power transmission provides high capacity with minimised operational cost and CO₂ emissions. While these innovations are impressive, OCP Mechanical Company recognises that not every operation requires the scale or investment associated with these advanced systems. 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.

LT400J: High-Capacity Electric Jaw Crusher for Primary Applications

The Lokotrack LT400J is the first jaw crusher in the new Lokotrack EC range and part of Metso‘s Plus offering. It introduces a new diesel-electric power line with all process functions being electric, delivering unseen usability improvements. The LT400J is equipped with the proven Nordberg® C120 jaw crusher, one of the most efficient compressive jaw crushers in the market for hard rock crushing and recycled aggregates. With typical production rates ranging between 300 and 600 tonnes per hour, the LT400J delivers the high output required for demanding primary crushing applications. The machine can be set up for operation and transport using remote control from a safe distance, while maintenance points are designed for easy access from ground level or wide service platforms. Connecting the LT400J to the grid not only lowers CO₂ emissions and meets sustainability targets but also reduces noise to surrounding areas. All process functions are electric, and the electric components are designed to endure demanding conditions while being globally available for quick maintenance. Using electricity in process functions significantly lowers hydraulic oil volume to just 81 litres, while common parts between models reduce inventory requirements and simplify maintenance. For most quarry and aggregate operations, however, such high capacity and advanced features may exceed actual needs. OCP Mechanical Company supplies a comprehensive range of jaw crushers, cone crushers, and impact crushers that deliver dependable performance for medium-capacity processing plants, with configurations matched to your specific feed material and product requirements.

LT350C: Electric Cone Crusher for Secondary and Tertiary Crushing

The Lokotrack LT350C is the first cone crusher in the new Lokotrack EC range, also part of Metso‘s Plus offering. It introduces the diesel-electric product line and is equipped with the new Nordberg® HP350e cone crusher, designed to achieve high capacity in secondary and tertiary crushing applications. With a feed opening of 230 mm and a maximum feed size of approximately 100 mm, the LT350C is optimised for processing material from primary crushers into specification-grade aggregates. The machine can be upgraded to adapt to evolving mobile crushing requirements, allowing lower running costs and reduced CO₂ emissions. Like its jaw crusher counterpart, the LT350C features all-electric process functions, significantly reducing hydraulic oil consumption and enabling quieter, more sustainable operation when connected to external power. The advanced IC process automation, common across the EC range, includes more sensors to avoid unnecessary process stops or equipment failures—such as the generator bearing temperature sensor that monitors bearing condition to prevent dust-related issues. The remote IC app allows operators to control the entire process safely from the excavator cabin, while Metso Metrics online monitoring provides real-time performance insights. While such integrated automation and electric drive technology represent impressive engineering achievements, OCP Mechanical Company fills a crucial gap in the market by delivering reliable, cost-effective crushing solutions for the mid-tier segment. Our product range includes jaw crushers, cone crushers, VSI crushers, impact crushers, vibrating screens, feeders, and complete crushing and screening plants—all brand-new and built to rigorous quality standards.

The Electric Advantage: Lower Costs, Reduced Emissions, Quieter Operation

The shift toward electric drive in mobile crushing equipment offers multiple benefits that align with evolving industry priorities. When connected to external electricity, the Lokotrack EC crushers deliver high capacity with minimised operational cost and CO₂ emissions. The all-electric process functions significantly reduce the use of hydraulic oil—down to just 81 litres compared to conventional models. This reduction in hydraulic fluid not only lowers operating costs but also reduces environmental risk and simplifies maintenance. Noise reduction is another significant advantage; electric drive systems operate more quietly than diesel-hydraulic equivalents, making them better suited for urban or environmentally sensitive sites. When external power is not available, the onboard diesel gensets allow for maximum independent operation time, and auxiliary units such as mobile screens and stackers can be powered from the same gensets, further reducing the total power required to run a complete plant. The modular architecture of the EC range enables faster product development and more efficient support, with fewer parts needed and easier upgrades of new features. For operators seeking to reduce their carbon footprint and operating costs, these electric mobile crushers represent a significant step forward. OCP Mechanical Company offers a practical alternative: factory-direct crushing and screening solutions that are engineered for energy efficiency, durability, and low total cost of ownership—without the premium pricing of fully integrated electric platforms.

Market Context: The Growing Trend Toward Electrification in Mobile Crushing

Metso‘s expansion of the Lokotrack EC range reflects a broader industry trend toward electrification and sustainability in mobile crushing equipment. The new diesel-electric power line has been developed on a new electric platform that has been in development since 2020, with the first models launched in spring 2024. All process functions are electrically driven and controlled by automation to always perform at the optimal load level. The EC range is designed for aggregates production and recycling, providing industry-leading reliability and performance. All major steel structures are designed to last at least 20,000 hours for maximum uptime, and only globally proven high-quality components are used. The modular design allows greater parts compatibility across the portfolio, making servicing faster and adaptation to new process requirements smoother. With all units equipped with a 24/7 remote monitoring solution, operators can access real-time performance insights and troubleshooting via any web-enabled device. For quarry operators and aggregate producers, these innovations signal the direction of the industry—but the right equipment for your operation depends on your specific production goals, budget, and site conditions. OCP Mechanical Company offers a compelling alternative: high-quality, factory-direct crushing and screening solutions backed by decades of experience and a global service network that spans more than 180 countries.
