Metso is strengthening its crusher roster with the launch of three new primary crushers — the Metso Primarok, Metso Optirok and Metso Durarok.
Engineered to address the needs of modern mining operations, the high-performance crushers boost capacity, improve safety during maintenance and lower the capital expenditure and total cost of ownership across a wide range of primary crushing applications and ore types.
“Mining operations today require crushing solutions that are not only powerful, but predictable, safe and optimized for the specific application. At the same time, primary crushing as the first stage in concentrate processing lays the foundation for overall recovery efficiency,” said Olli-Pekka Oksanen, Senior Vice President of Crushing at Metso.
“Built on proven technologies complemented with major new features, including, for example, data-driven services and performance solutions, the new crushers take performance, availability, and maintainability to a totally new level, resulting in lower total cost of ownership.”
Primarok
Metso’s Primarok is engineered for excellent performance and the highest availability.
Built on Metso’s more than 100 years of experience in gyratory crushing, Primarok can easily handle the most demanding primary crushing applications. Its optimized kinematics, refined chamber design and ability to accept large feed sizes drive high efficiency and stable performance. On top of this, it allows for quick and secure shutdowns, as every maintenance task has been streamlined to maximize efficiency and safety.
Optirok
The Optirok is designed for high capacity crushing in a compact footprint.
As an evolution of the primary jaw crusher, Optirok takes crushing to a completely new level in applications with limited space and height. It delivers impressive productivity, integrated scalping and a high reduction ratio, efficiently processing large volumes of run of mine material while enduring hard rock and abrasive applications. Its innovative features simplify maintenance, improving safety and reducing downtime.
Durarok
Metso’s Durarok is a robust, simplified sizer designed for maximum durability.
The Metso Durarok primary sizer combines a simplified, heavy-duty design with high performance and durability. Its crushing rolls are engineered to withstand the heaviest loads and generate high crushing forces while maintaining low wear rates. Durarok enables higher utilization and uptime compared to conventional solutions, helping reduce operating costs and increase capacity. It is well suited for handling sticky materials, soft to medium hard ores and demanding mining applications.

“Primarok offers the highest capacity of any gyratory on the market, while Optirok is designed to address high-capacity primary crushing in compact footprints,” Oksanen said. “Durarok, on the other hand, is a robust solution for materials with variability and moisture constraints and demanding operating conditions.”
The new primary crushers further strengthen Metso’s comprehensive crushing portfolio, which also includes well established jaw, cone, impact and gyratory crushers, which are available as stationary, semi-mobile and mobile solutions.
