Metso, a Finland-based manufacturer of aggregates crushing and screening equipment, has expanded its Lokotrack portfolio with the launch of the Lokotrack LT400RS mobile impact crusher and the Lokotrack LT200HPX mobile cone crusher. These new metso mobile crushing plants are designed to provide purpose-built solutions for two distinct applications: demanding aggregate recycling and demolition, and efficient aggregate production. The LT400RS is engineered to process difficult construction and demolition waste materials, such as concrete and asphalt, while the LT200HPX delivers high-capacity screening and crushing in a compact, track-mounted package.
The Lokotrack LT400RS is a 70-tonne diesel-electric mobile impact crusher within Metso’s Lokotrack EC Range. It features the new 250kW Nordberg NP1213MR impact crusher, supported by a 430kW genset rating and heavy-duty blow bars for recycling. To ensure the production of clean, accurately sized end products, the unit is equipped with a 6.4 m2 two-deck product screen, a powerful wind sifter, and an adjustable electromagnet. Its diesel-electric power transmission allows for connection to an external grid, which can reduce fuel consumption, noise, and emissions. Additionally, a patented mechanical system enhances safety by allowing access to the crusher only after the rotor has completely stopped.
For reliable aggregate production, the Lokotrack LT200HPX integrates a high-capacity Nordberg HP200e cone crusher. This model includes a two-deck prescreen and a large 5.6 m2 product screen, facilitating efficient screening in a single track-mounted package. The direct crusher drive is designed to improve fuel efficiency, while no-backing liners enable quicker and safer liner changes. Smart folding functions and extensive service platforms simplify the transport and maintenance of these metso mobile crushing plants.
“The launch of the LT400RS and LT200HPX further strengthens our Lokotrack offering by bringing customers purpose-built solutions for two important applications: recycling and aggregate production,” stated Jarmo Vuorenpää, Metso vice president of track solutions. “The new models help customers improve productivity, lower their cost per tonne and maintain high uptime.” Metso intends to support these new models through its global aftermarket network to maximize investment value throughout the equipment’s lifetime.
