Metso Unveils Three New Primary Crushers for Enhanced Mining Safety

Industry Innovation in Primary Crushing

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, recently announced the launch of three new primary crusher models – Metso Primarok™, Metso Optirok™, and Metso Durarok™. These products are engineered to address a wide range of primary crushing applications, from large‑scale gyratory installations to compact jaw crushers and robust sizers. The official introduction is scheduled for September 10 during the Summit event, 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 decades of field experience. It is designed for the most demanding primary crushing environments, featuring optimised kinematics and a refined chamber geometry 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 in its class. 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 80‑100 TPH or similar medium throughput levels, with configurations matched to your specific feed material and product requirements.

Optirok: Compact Jaw Crusher with High Reduction Ratio

Metso Optirok™ is positioned as a high‑capacity primary jaw crusher designed for sites with limited space and height constraints. It integrates a scalping function and achieves a high reduction ratio, efficiently processing large volumes of run‑of‑mine material even in hard and abrasive applications. Its innovative design simplifies routine maintenance, enhancing both operator safety and machine availability. For operations where a compact footprint is essential, Optirok offers a well‑engineered alternative. At OCP Mechanical Company, we understand that spatial limitations are common in Italian and European quarries. Our engineering team collaborates with you to design custom stone crusher plants that fit your exact layout, material flow, and stockpiling needs. We offer modular structures that reduce civil works costs and installation time. Whether you require a primary jaw crusher or a complete crushing and screening plant, our solutions are built to maximise productivity within your available space, without compromising on quality or serviceability.

Durarok: Robust Sizer for Sticky and Variable Feed

Metso Durarok™ is a primary sizer that combines a heavy‑duty design with high performance and durability. Its crushing rolls are engineered to withstand heavy loads and generate high crushing forces while maintaining low wear rates. This design enables higher utilisation and uptime compared to conventional sizers, helping to lower operating costs and increase overall capacity. Durarok is particularly well suited for handling sticky materials, soft to medium‑hard ores, and applications where feed moisture varies significantly. This type of robust solution offers clear advantages in challenging material conditions. For operations that process feldspar, limestone, or other industrial minerals, OCP Mechanical Company provides VSI crushers and associated equipment that deliver consistent particle shape and energy efficiency. Our machines are designed for straightforward maintenance and long wear life, ensuring that your production remains stable and profitable even when feed characteristics fluctuate.

Meeting Diverse Needs with Tailored Solutions

The launch of three distinct primary crushers from a single supplier highlights the growing diversity of customer requirements in the mining and aggregates sector. Each model targets a specific niche – gyratory for ultra‑high capacity, jaw for compact high‑reduction applications, and sizer for difficult materials. This segmentation is a clear response to the varied operational conditions encountered across different sites. While these new products represent significant engineering achievements, they are not the only path to success. Many operators find that a well‑balanced, medium‑capacity circuit, incorporating a reliable primary jaw or impactor followed by a secondary cone and a tertiary VSI, delivers the best combination of product quality and cost efficiency. OCP Mechanical Company specialises in designing such integrated systems, drawing on our 40‑year history of supplying equipment to quarries and mines worldwide. We provide complete crushing and screening plants that are built to last, with all components brand‑new and backed by our direct factory support.
