CRUSHING, SCREENING
AND MILLING
The Metso MX™ cone crush-
er was introduced at the
CONEXPO-CON/AGG show
in Las Vegas in March this
year. It is based on Metso’s
patented Multi-Action crushing technology,
which combines the piston and rotating bowl
into a single crusher. According to Metso,
it “provides a giant leap in profitability by
cutting operational costs 10 % and enabling
10 % higher uptime compared to traditional
cone crushers.”
The key benefit of the Multi-Action tech-
nology is that it allows easy under-load setting
adjustment and wear compensation without
having to stop the process. Optimal cavity
design, stroke direction and effectively dis-
tributed crushing action lead to the ultimate
rock-on-rock crushing motion. This combined
with the innovative Multi-Action technology
results in extended maintenance intervals and
higher production.
The Metso MX™ also provides maximised
tramp release distance with high protection
against uncrushable objects and overloading.

New developments fromMetso in the crushing field
include the Metso MX™ cone crusher, described as an
“industry changer”, and the addition of high pressure
grinding rolls (HPGR) technology to the group’s portfo-
lio, a development which has taken place over several
years and which has seen the world’s largest HPGR
being installed at a copper mine in the US.
