Metso Outotec expands its mobile and stationary crushing systems range with a sizer crusher for soft ore applications
Metso Outotec is complementing its line of mobile and modular stationary crushing solutions with a sizer option specially
designed for soft ore and aggregate applications. The new additions to Metso Outotec’s mobile Lokotrack® product line are equipped with Komatsu’s sizer technology
and are available in five models ranging from 500 to 4500 tons per hour. Metso Outotec’s recently launched modular FITTM crushing stations are also available with sizer configurations. Both the mobile and modular solutions were engineered in collaboration with Komatsu. The first Lokotrack® sizer plant is already in operation in South-East Asia.
“New concentration technologies and strict environmental norms make it economically viable to process such deposits and stocks that were not possible to handle profitably earlier. However, the characteristics of soft ores like low abrasiveness and high moisture content require a different equipment configuration than when crushing hard ore. To provide leading solutions for our customers processing soft ore, we are now combining our expertise in mobile and semi-mobile crushing with Komatsu’s sizing knowhow,” says Julius Mäkelä, Vice
President, Mid-Size and Mobile Crushers at Metso Outotec.
“Komatsu is excited about the opportunity to partner with Metso Outotec to provide soft ore crushing solutions. Komatsu’s Joy sizers are well known in the industry and they have proven their efficiency and reliability in various applications. The combination of Metso Outotec’s Lokotrack® and FITTM Station with our sizers provide a unique and superior solution for soft ore and rock crushing,” says John McCarthy, Sizer Product Manager at Komatsu.
Metso Outotec’s Lokotrack mobile sizers are designed for safe operation and easy application. When combined with the LokolinkTM and Conveying Systems, Metso Outotec can provide a truckless solution right from the quarry to the concentrating or cement plant.
New cone crusher module from Swedish Maskin Mekano
The ambition of the new modular concept from Maskin Mekano is to combine the best from stationary plants with the flexibility of a mobile plant. In production, these machine units on their high jacking legs resemble stationary plants while being very easy to move between different workplaces. With modules for feeding, crushing, and screening by Maskin Mekano, it is easy to create an optimized plant with high capacity that is also sustainable, safe, and versatile.
Maskin Mekano's program of modular machines is characterized by:
• Electricdrive
• Interlockingcontrolsystemsandemergencystoploops
• User-friendlyandsafeservicework
• Secureestablishmentandde-establishment
• Noremovalofmachinepartsbeforemoving
• Loading and unloading without lifting assistance

CH440-PS
The CH440-PS cone crusher is an important cog in Maskin Mekano's in modular range, where there is a VSI crusher, feeder stations and screening units. The machine is a conveyor in/conveyor out version with a pre-screen and it is equipped with an on-board return conveyor that makes it compatible with Maskin Mekano's final screen SH 1503 for closed circuit.
With this launch, Maskin Mekano is seriously back as a supplier of well-built crushing plants.
Material flow
The CH440-PS is equipped with Sandvik's CH440 cone crusher. Before entering the crusher, the material is loaded on a pre- screen with an on-board conveyor that either takes a 0-size material out of the process or runs the material by-pass to the conveyor under the crusher. The crushed material is loaded to the docked screen SH 1503 and the return is handled with an on-board swivel conveyor.
Easy to transport
The CH440-PS is transported on a jumbo trailer or a machine trailer. It is loaded completely without lifting help, the trailer is reversed in between the machine's jacking legs. After the machine is lowered onto the platform, the legs fold to 3.0 m width. The transport therefore does not require an accompanying car.
The hydraulic unit has a battery pack and 24-V system which means that loading and unloading can be carried out without power from the mains or generator.
