Metso has announced the commercial availability of MX for cones, designed to maximise wear parts lifetime in secondary cone crushing applications for mining and quarry operators worldwide.

The Metso-developed inserting technology under this offering helps maintain the optimal wear profile for longer by ensuring better liner use when compared with standard manganese liners, Metso claims. MX for cones can provide up to double wear life in secondary crushing applications.

Less change-outs help mitigate maintenance labour shortages and risk exposure to personnel. Increased wear life also results in fewer liners needed and produced, providing sustainability benefits throughout the supply chain. MX for cones is 100% recyclable.

Rafael Yanata, Product Manager, Mining Crushing Solutions, said: “MX for cones represents another step forward in the MX offering, addressing customer demand for hard-wearing solutions to reduce frequent parts change-outs. This technology particularly meets the needs of large cone crushers from the Nordberg® HP Series™ and MP Series™.”

Jarkko Leppänen, Vice President, Mining Crusher Wears, added: “As experts in crusher wears, Metso is committed to continuous development in crusher wears solutions for a full range of customer applications and needs. Designed, engineered and manufactured in-house, MX for cones is backed by Metso strictest quality standards and decades of expertise.”
