Third generation
Superior™ MKIII Series is the third generation of the Superior™ primary gyratory crushers. The latest generation is again better, more efficient, safer, and simpler than the previous one.
Superior™ crushers are most often used in mining operations and was developed especially to meet the needs of customers facing ever-changing ore grades and conditions in mining operations.
Higher throughput
Superior™ MKIII primary gyratory crushers bring increased speeds, higher installed power and mechanical improvements compared to previous generations.
All of these combined bring up to a 30% additonal throughput for your primary gyratory crusher.
Superior™ MKIII crushers bring high and reliable throughput that demanding operations can count on.
Reduced downtime
Superior™ MKIII primary gyratory crushers are engineered with rotable shells and concaves.
The improvements to the Metso Superior™ MKIII crushers brings up to 70% reduction in downtime.
Crusher maintenance downtime has also produced a significant size decrease of the primary stock pile as well.
Mineral Crusher Pilot (MCP) automation
Metso’s MCP automation is designed to optimize crushing processes in mining operations. By seamlessly integrating advanced digital technologies, MCP empowers operators, enhances safety and improves overall efficiency.
- Connectivity - easy and fast integration with plant control system over an OPC connection
- Remote control - on mobile device with full automated diagnostic and reports. Machine local Wi-Fi access.
- Remote actions - automatic switching process between lube pump/filter modules, smart starters for remote auxiliary equipment overload rearming
- Robustness - network loops, back-up power supply for sensors, UPS for 24VDC, ground DC monitoring, sensor identification with centralized parameter system
Easy and safe maintenance
Superior™ MKIII primary gyratory crushers bring safety and easy maintenance to any crushing plant.
Hydraulic separation and individual lifting of shells creates a better environment for any workers on site working with the equipment.
MCP automation also improves operational safety. It helps in understanding where maintenance will be needed and predicts routine maintenance as well.
