Metso recently presented two new mobile crushing models as part of its Lokotrack range. The company provides sustainable technologies, end-to-end solutions and services for the global aggregates, minerals processing and metals refining industries.

The Lokotrack LT400RS mobile impact crusher is designed for aggregate recycling and demolition applications, while the Lokotrack LT200HPX mobile cone crusher can be deployed for aggregate production with integrated screening in a compact mobile package.  

The company notes that construction and demolition waste is becoming a growing material stream and that materials such as concrete, asphalt and mixed demolition waste are more difficult to process than quarry rock, as they often contain rebar, wood and other contaminants and vary greatly in quality. The LT400RS is engineered to meet these challenges. As part of Metso’s diesel-electric Lokotrack EC Range, it is designed to help recycling contractors process demanding waste materials more efficiently while reducing fuel consumption and CO₂ emissions. 

"The new models help customers improve productivity, lower their cost per tonne and maintain high uptime. Backed by Metso’s strong aftermarket offering and global support network, they help customers get the most out of their investment throughout the equipment lifetime," says Metso track solutions VP Jarmo Vuorenpää. 

The new Lokotrack LT400RS 70 t diesel-electric mobile impact crusher is said to combine high crushing and screening performance with the mobility to relocate quickly from site to site. It aims to help recycling contractors increase productivity, improve material separation and reduce operating costs, while enabling lower emissions. 

"The LT400RS is designed to meet the core needs of recycling customers: reliable, high capacity; efficient material separation; and easy relocation between sites. With its diesel-electric drive and electric grid connection, it delivers strong performance while helping customers achieve the lowest possible operating costs," says Vuorenpää. 

The Lokotrack LT200HPX mobile cone crusher is designed for reliable aggregate production. A two-deck pre-screen and a large two-deck product screen, 5.6 m2 in size, are said to provide efficient screening in a single track-mounted package, while a robust design and wide conveyors enable versatility, seamless material flow and high capacity. The direct crusher drive helps improve fuel efficiency, and smart folding functions simplify transport and maintenance.  

Both new products are compatible with Metso digital services, including production performance and AI-powered predictive maintenance, helping customers optimise production, plan maintenance and maximise uptime.
