LiuGong Metso Construction Equipment has introduced its first prototypes of track-mounted mobile crushing and screening equipment, specifically designed for Chinese customer requirements. LiuGong Metso is a joint venture founded by LiuGong Group and Metso late last year. The company showcased prototypes of a track-mounted jaw crushing station and a track-mounted screening station at Bauma China 2014 in Shanghai last week.

The track-mounted mobile crushing and screening equipment has been designed for crushing hard materials in mine applications. “Featuring high productivity, low fuel consumption, high reliability, high safety factor and easy operation, the new products can save energy and costs while protecting the environment and maximising the value created for customers.”

LiuGong Metso says it is looking to further develop track-mounted mobile crushing and screening plants for Chinese customers. The joint venture looks to combine Metso’s professional knowledge in the business and technical fields of the track-mounted mobile crushing and screening plants with the strong marketing network and production capacity of LiuGong in China. Metso has 1,500 staff located in China, aiming to support the sustainable development of China’s industries and infrastructure for the mining sector.

The LiuGong Group is the largest wheel loader manufacturer in the world, offering a range of machines, including wheel loaders, bulldozers, backhoes, skid steers, forklifts, graders, excavators, rollers, truck-mounted cranes, pavers and cold planners. The company owns facilities in, among other locations, Liuzhou, Tianjin, Shanghai, Changzhou, Zhenjiang, Jiangyin and Bengbu.
