Metso has introduced its 5th Generation MP Hydraulic power unit for Nordberg MP cone crushers, designed for easy maintenance, enhanced safety and standardisation to meet the rigorous demands of modern mining operations. This new unit marks a significant advancement in standardisation with a modular base design, allowing for easy customisation to meet specific applications. The 5th Generation MP HPU is commercially available immediately.
“Metso has built a strong reputation among customers for delivering reliable power units for MP cone crushers, supported by a robust installed base. As even very reliable customers’ existing units age and components in the older units become obsolete, obtaining replacement quotes can be challenging for customers. The new power unit simplifies this process, enabling us to quickly provide quotes for replacement units with readily available components. With increased standardisation, we can maintain stock or place orders for long lead-time assemblies, ensuring faster delivery times and supporting reliable operations,” says Andrew Lingenfelter, Vice President, Mining Crusher Products, Metso.
The 5th Generation MP HPU Metso says represents a significant leap forward in standardisation for mining crusher operations. This generation introduces a modular base design, allowing for easy customisation to meet specific operational needs. By transitioning to the 5th Generation MP HPU now, customers can proactively address the risks of unexpected failures and costly downtime, ensuring a seamless and efficient upgrade process. Not only does this standardised approach improve safety and maintenance, but also simplifies the integration process for customers upgrading to the latest technology.
“Additionally, we have sought opportunities to enhance the existing offering, making it easier to maintain while retaining the same basic design and operation, so customer’s personnel do not need to learn a new piece of equipment,” Lingenfelter explains. These safety and maintenance enhancements, developed in collaboration with customers, ensure efficient, safe and continuous operation in challenging mining conditions.
