Metso has officially introduced the sixth model in its innovative Nordberg® HPe series, strengthening its position as a global leader in energy-efficient and high-performance crushing solutions. The cone crusher series, first launched in 2023, has quickly become a trusted choice in both aggregates and mining applications.
A Growing Lineup of High-Performance Cone Crushers
In just two years, the HPe series has expanded to six models. These models cover a wide range of size categories and process stages, from secondary to tertiary and quaternary crushing. With this expansion, Metso ensures operators can choose a cone crusher that perfectly fits their operational needs – whether the goal is higher capacity, increased uptime, or improved sustainability.
Built on the legacy of Metso’s industry-leading Nordberg® HP cone crusher technology, the HPe line is recognized worldwide for its reliability and performance. The latest additions highlight a clear industry shift toward efficiency, safety, and sustainability. To date, more than 200 HPe units have been sold globally, and many older HP models have been successfully upgraded using retrofit kits.
The New Nordberg® HP450e™ Cone Crusher
The standout in this release is the Nordberg® HP450e™, designed as a mid-range unit delivering the perfect balance of power and efficiency. According to Ilkka Somero, Product Manager of HP Cones at Metso’s Aggregates business area, “The HP450e gives customers maximum production and yield of wanted end products with improved flexibility, high capacity, and lower energy consumption.”
This new cone crusher offers enhanced application coverage, faster and safer serviceability, and superior uptime. It is engineered to meet the demands of diverse rock processing operations while maintaining cost efficiency.
Key Benefits of the Nordberg® HP450e™:
- +10% more head motion
- +13% more power (in kW and HP)
- +20% more crushing force
- New, more efficient chambers
- Head spin brake for higher uptime
- Feed cone lifting tool for easier maintenance
Why the HPe Series Stands Out
The Nordberg® HPe series is not just about raw power – it represents the next generation of sustainable rock processing. By delivering more output with less energy, Metso helps operators cut operational costs while improving productivity. The strong market response and rapid adoption of HPe models prove that the future of crushing lies in smarter, more efficient cone crushers.
