In the crushing and screening industry, safety is a top priority as the work carries risks. Big machines roam the site crushing and blasting hard rock with mighty power, and people working at the site face risks and be injured. Along with safe work procedures, the choice of machinery plays a crucial role in mitigating these risks. From transportation and set up to running and servicing the equipment, Metso Lokotrack mobile crushers and screens are engineered for safety and ease of use.
At Metso, safety work is rooted in the design process. Safety experts work together with the Research and Development team, ensuring that safety is always a consideration when developing new innovations. Global presence, with operations and customers around the world, allows for an exceptional service capability around the world and very useful feedback.
The service platforms, for example, are engineered for safety during different scenarios in which a person might need to access the machine, accommodating potential usage and maintenance requirements. The service platforms are designed to have sufficient space for maintenance personnel to conveniently carry and position their equipment. Safety platforms and stairs can be folded for easy transportation in one piece – no time-consuming dismantling is needed.
The Lokotrack machines are fitted with light, durable, and easy-to-handle plastic and steel guards. These guards primarily serve to protect the people working with the machines, particularly their hands, from potential interference with the machine or its movements. Secondly, the guards also protect from any potential rock impact.
The Lokotrack jaw crushers have a special jaw maintenance platform. This makes it easier to access the chamber and, even more importantly, blocks the movement of the jaw, making entering the chamber safer for the maintenance personnel.
The Metso Remote IC control for Lokotrack equipment allows adjusting the feeder and crusher settings directly from the excavator cabin. Since the operator no longer needs to step out from the excavator cabin as often, using Remote IC reduces the safety risks that the employee faces during their workday.
