Following its successful release at ConExpo 2023, Metso has developed a second model for the Nordberg cone crusher line
Metso has introduced the second cone crusher in its Nordberg HPe series.
The new HP350e cone crusher offers enhanced performance, more uptime, easier maintenance and a series of other improvements, making it ideal for diverse rock processing operations.
Introduced in 2023, Nordberg HPe crushers are engineered to meet the evolving and constantly increasing performance needs of the aggregates and mining industries.
“The launch of the Nordberg HPe crusher series during ConExpo-Con/Agg trade show last year was a success, and now we are proud to bring to the market our latest addition to the series, the Nordberg HP350e cone crusher,” said Ilkka Somero, Product Manager of HP Cones at Metso’s Aggregates business area.
“Compared to the first crusher in the series, HP200e, the new crusher, HP350e, belongs to a larger size class of crushers. We are excited to expand the Nordberg HPe series to bring to the market a wider offering of these high-performance crushers fit for different production purposes.”
The Nordberg HP350e cone crusher offers several unique benefits including new enhanced kinematics and more efficient chambers.
The crusher also offers up to 10 per cent more performance in secondary and tertiary application, compared to the HP300.
Improved uptime
The Nordberg HP350e does not require backing liners for quick, easier and safer liner change while the head anti-spin brake extends liner wear life.
An optional ring bounce monitoring feature is available for active overload protection.
For safe lifting and handling, Metso designed the machine with a new feed cone lifting tool.
Metso also offers three alternative kinematics to choose from, alternative speeds and an exceptionally wide chamber offering with 10 application specific no-backing chamber designs for secondary, tertiary and quaternary stages.
Most parts are common between the earlier HP300 design and HP350e and the rest remain either interchangeable or upgradeable.

Current HP300 owners can purchase Metso’s HPe upgrade kits, enabling economical access to some of the new HPe features, including enhanced kinematics, head anti-spin brake and ring bounce monitoring, as well as monitor and no-backing liners via head and bowl upgrade.
The new HP350e can also utilize older-generation HP300 backing liners features.
Nordberg HPe series crushers will also be available as US compliant Nordplant Pre-designed Crushing Modules. These modules provide all-in-one delivery with quick assembly for replacing crushing stations or in new quarries.
Furthermore, Metso is also introducing the first HPe series crusher on tracks for improved mobility. The Lokotrack LT200HPX is equipped with a Nordberg HP200e cone crusher and a two-deck pre-screen with up to 40 per cent higher capacity than the LT200HP.
