Metso announced yet another expansion of its Nordberg® HPe crusher series™, offering a comprehensive, scalable, and energy-efficient solution for high-performance crushing in aggregates and mining applications.
First introduced in 2023, the HPe series quickly established itself as an industry leader. By 2025, the lineup had grown to six models, covering a wide range of size categories and process stages, from secondary to tertiary and quaternary crushing.
The HPe series built on Metso’s industry-leading Nordberg® HP cone crusher technology, widely recognized for its reliability and performance. The market response to the new HPe models highlighted a clear industry shift toward higher efficiency, safety, and sustainability in crushing operations. By then, over 200 units had been sold globally, and older HP models had been retrofitted with upgrade kits, enhancing customers’ existing operations with the latest advancements in crushing technology.
"With the latest addition to the Nordberg® HPe crusher series™, we were able to offer customers the ideal balance of power and efficiency for their specific crushing needs. The HP450e, as a mid-range unit, was designed for customers who required reliable, high-capacity crushing without excessive energy consumption. With this unit, we further improved its application flexibility so that customers could maximize production and the yield of desired end products,” noted Ilkka Somero, Product Manager of HP Cones at Metso’s Aggregates business area.
Evolution in Motion – Nordberg® HP450e™ Cone Crusher
The latest size class in the series, the Nordberg® HP450e™, delivered enhanced performance, higher uptime, wider application coverage, faster and safer serviceability, and numerous other improvements, making it a strong choice for diverse rock processing operations.
The Nordberg® HP450e™ cone crusher offered several unique benefits including:
- Enhanced performance
- +10% more head motion
- +13% more power (in kW and HP)
- +20% more force
- An environmentally friendly solution, as backing material was not needed
- New, more efficient chambers
- Head spin brake for higher uptime
- Serviceability improvements
- Feed cone lifting tool
Upgradability as a Core Philosophy
Metso offered upgrade options for customers with earlier generation HP crushers. Many of the new HPe features were applicable to existing units through upgrades, including no-backing liners that reduced maintenance downtime, a redesigned split nut for improved safety and easier maintenance, and a crusher head spin brake that extended liner life. Additionally, most spare and wear parts from the HPe series were compatible with HP crushers, offering cost-effective and operational benefits for mixed fleets.
With the six HPe crushers, a wide range of ten different chamber profiles, advanced simulation software, and Metso’s expertise, customers were able to optimize their operations and achieve their production targets. Designed for versatility, Metso’s HPe crushers could be configured for various applications, from wheel-mounted Nordwheeler™ setups to modular Nordplant™ installations and track-mounted Lokotrack® units.
The new HP450e was showcased at BAUMA at Metso booth #203 in Hall B2. Metso’s experts welcomed visitors to the launch event at the booth on Tuesday, April 8, at 4 p.m. CEST. Held in Munich, Germany, from April 7–13, BAUMA remained one of the leading global events for the aggregates industry.
