Each model in Metso’s Lokotrack EC range of mobile screens and crushers is powered by electricity but able to run on diesel if required. The company says that this reduces the amount hydraulic oil needed for crushing operations.
The first two products in the EC range are the Lokotrack LT400J and the Lokotrack LT350C. The LT400J is a 68-ton mobile jaw crusher designed for primary crushing of hard rock and recycled materials. The LT350C is a 50-ton mobile cone crusher for secondary and tertiary crushing. The LT350C uses the Nordberg HP350e cone crusher for high capacity, while the LT400J features the proven Nordberg C120 jaw crusher. Both units can be combined with each other and with Lokotrack mobile screens to produce high-quality aggregates.
When external electricity is available, the electric power transmission provides high capacity with lower operational costs and reduced CO2 emissions. If external electricity is not available, onboard diesel generators allow for continuous operation. Auxiliary units, such as mobile screens and stackers, can also be powered by these generators, reducing the total power needed for the entire plant.
The Lokotrack EC range uses a modular design, which reduces the number of components and offers scalable solutions for different applications and capacities. All components in the EC range are built and tested to perform in tough conditions, ensuring maximum uptime.
Safety and ease of use are key features. The LT400J and LT350C meet the latest safety standards and are easier to use than ever. With digital tools, the units can be safely operated from the excavator and quickly set up from transport to operation.
