Robust Metso HRC™ high pressure grinding rolls for aggregates

Turn waste material into saleable product

HRC equipment can convert quarry waste into a saleable product, reducing the pollution from earth moving equipment doing the double handling of those large volumes of waste materials. HRC crushers excel in challenging applications, reprocessing waste materials from crushing and screening processes. These materials, often with low mass gradings are difficult to crush using VSI or other compression crushers, can be transformed into high-quality, saleable products. Additionally, in some cases, non-saleable waste can be processed to correct the gradation curve and particle shape.

Handle challenging feed materials

HRC™ 8 and HRC™ 800 crushers work in applications where other crushers cannot. They can handle small in size and very difficult feed materials, that are difficult to process by any other technology, with high abrasiveness, low crushability, moisture, fines, even clay and turn them into a valuable product.

• Manufactured sand
• Gravel pits, pea gravel
• Asphalt sand
• Concrete sand
• Industrial minerals
• Recycling
• Re-crushing waste materials

Produce high quality manufactured sand

These machines excel in manufacturing sand, meeting the growing demand for economical and efficient crushed sand production. As natural sand deposits dwindle and environmental regulations tighten, HRC™ 8 and HRC™ 800 offer a robust design, low operational costs, and superior product shape and gradation. The application is sustainable because it replaces the use of natural sand, reducing the need for loading and hauling natural sand into cities, which helps to avoid fuel burning and pollution. Furthermore, HRC equipment produces high-quality sand that reduces the demand for water and cement in concrete mixes, as well as in asphalt.

Part of Metso Plus offering

Metso Plus portfolio focuses on the most impactful technologies in our sustainable offering. Out of four focus areas, this solution creates value and positive impact on the following:

Lower emission: Less energy consumed compared to other solutions delivering he same net product volume

Resource efficiency: Turning quarry waste into saleable product reduces pollution from earthmoving equipment and eliminates waste handling

Preserve natural sand reserves: High-quality sand produced by HRC reduces water and cement demand in concrete and asphalt.
