Metso has introduced its XM Series to its line of crushing solutions, with the new series providing an advanced solution combining intelligence, durability and value.
The XM Series features a new digital package, resilient engineering and warranties, and is designed for demanding mining applications.
“What’s transformative in the XM Series package is that it combines and gives access to the latest in digital technologies, SmartCone, SmartStation and Mineral Crusher Pilot (MCP) automation,” Metso vice president, mining crusher Vinicius Vilela said.
“SmartCone, ideal for product size control, can increase production by up to 10 per cent. MCP automation provides the easiest and fastest integration connectivity and allows for not just remote diagnostics, but remote actions, too.
“The three of these technologies combined give the edge needed to make smarter decisions about the crusher and prevent downtime.”
The XM Series uses the Nordberg MP Series cone crushers and Superior MKIII primary gyratory crushers.
Notable upgrades for the MP XM series include top-mount clamping cylinders, hydraulic socket, accumulator monitoring system and tramp release half nut. The lifetime of the cavity liner can also be increased up to 50 per cent.
“On top of this, as the first of its kind available in the mining industry, the warranty covers up to 25 years of life for the crusher, conditional on following specific terms and conditions,” Vilela said.
