“Mining operations today require crushing solutions that are not only powerful, but predictable, safe, and optimized for the specific application. At the same time, primary crushing as the first stage in concentrate processing lays the foundation for overall recovery efficiency,” says Olli-Pekka Oksanen, Senior Vice President, Crushing at Metso.
“Built on proven technologies complemented with major new features, including, for example, data-driven services and performance solutions, the new crushers take performance, availability, and maintainability to a totally new level, resulting in lower total cost of ownership. Primarok offers the highest capacity of any gyratory on the market, while Optirok is designed to address high-capacity primary crushing in compact footprints. Durarok, on the other hand, is a robust solution for materials with variability and moisture constraints and demanding operating conditions,” explains Oksanen.
Primary crushing solutions for every application
- Metso Primarok™ – engineered for unmatched performance and highest availability
Built on more than a century of experience in gyratory crushing, the Metso Primarok can handle the most demanding primary crushing applications with ease. Its optimized kinematics, refined chamber design and ability to accept large feed sizes drive high efficiency and stable performance. On top of this, it allows for quick and secure shutdowns, as every maintenance task has been streamlined to maximize efficiency and safety.
- Metso Optirok™ – high capacity crushing in a compact footprint
As an evolution of the primary jaw crusher, Metso [AR2.1]Optirok takes crushing to a completely new level in applications with limited space and height. It delivers unmatched productivity, integrated scalping and a high reduction ratio, efficiently processing large volumes of run of mine material while enduring hard rock and abrasive applications. Its innovative features simplify maintenance, improving safety and reducing downtime.
- Metso Durarok™ – robust, simplified sizer designed for maximum endurance
The Metso Durarok primary sizer combines a simplified, heavy duty design with high performance and durability. Its crushing rolls are engineered to withstand the heaviest loads and generate high crushing forces while maintaining low wear rates. Durarok enables higher utilization and uptime compared to conventional solutions, helping reduce operating costs and increase capacity. It is well suited for handling sticky materials, soft to medium hard ores, and demanding mining applications.
