What Makes the HPe Series Stand Out?
Built for performance, safety, and sustainability, Metso’s HPe Series introduces intelligent engineering that translates directly into measurable gains on site:
1. More Output with Less Equipment
Advanced chamber geometry and upgraded kinematics allow the HP200e and HP350e to deliver up to 20% more throughput, helping sites scale production without needing to scale up equipment or personnel.
2. Greater Product Yield, Less Fines
Thanks to Narrow Fraction (NF) cavities, operations can now reduce unwanted fines and increase the yield of high-value fractions like 5–11 mm, improving revenue without increasing tonnage.
3. Real-Time Protection from Ring Bounce
The HPe Series includes an optional ring bounce monitoring system, which protects the crusher from overload, maintains output consistency, and prevents downtime.
4. Longer Wear Life with Anti-Spin Brake
An innovative anti-spin brake reduces liner wear at start-up, extending part life by up to 10%—a major advantage for cost control and uptime.
5. One-Day Liner Changes, No Backing Required
Cut liner change downtime in half. The no-backing design reduces changeover time by up to 8 hours and eliminates hazardous materials—boosting both efficiency and sustainability.
6. Enhanced Safety with Lifting Tools
With ergonomically designed lifting systems for feed cones and liners, the HPe Series prioritises crew safety and equipment longevity.
