METSO LAUNCHES NORDWHEELER PORTABLE CRUSHER FOR MANUFACTURED SAND PRODUCTION

In response to the growing demand for sustainability, process flexibility and higher capacity, Metso’s Nordwheeler™ NW Rapid™ range expands with the new NW8HRC which is the first portable HRC 8™ crusher for manufactured sand.

HRC 8 is a part of Metso’s Planet Positive offering. It consumes up to 50% less power than any other technology in the same application to obtain the same net product volume.

Nordwheeler portable plants are powered by electricity, and they can be set up without heavy concrete foundations. In many countries, the ability to relocate the entire plant means that it is easier to get crushing permits, which makes the plants a desirable choice for 1-2 years periodical crushing projects for example in the construction of dams, airports and roads.

In addition to NW8HRC, Nordwheeler NW Rapid range is expanding with five new portable crushers. The models are designed on the proven Nordberg^® and Barmac crusher technologies for effective secondary and tertiary crushing. The new models are NW300GP, NW300HP, NW330GP, NW7150 and NW9100. All the new portable crushers are designed to fit in standard transportation dimensions, making towing them to a new site easier than ever. At the site they are quick to set up with on-board equipment and hydraulic options.

The new units offer up to 500 tons per hour capacity, making the Nordwheeler portable plants available also for aggregate producers and contractors handling higher volumes.
