Metso Outotec gears up for ConExpo

Metso Outotec says it is preparing to display several types of equipment for the aggregates industry at its display areas at the ConExpo-Con/Agg 2023 trade show March 14-18 in Las Vegas. The Finland-based crushing and screening equipment maker says sustainability will be in its spotlight.

"Throughout the whole aggregates and construction industry, sustainability is gaining ground and has become a big driver for innovations and operations," says Juha Yli-Petäys, senior vice president with Metso Outotec. "For us at Metso Outotec, sustainability and improved performance are among our key goals with our customers and [are] present in every R&D project."

Yli-Petäys lists "key challenges like energy consumption, uptime, safety or carbon footprint reduction" as sustainability-related aspects that will be brought forward at ConExpo by Metso Outotec.

The company says it is planning to display the latest version of its Lokotrack LT120, which it calls "one of the most efficient mobile jaw crushers in the market for demanding quarry and contract crushing applications."

"Lokotrack track-mounted crushers and screens are famous for their outstanding performance and dependability when it comes to aggregates production," the company adds. "The Lokotrack C120 jaw crusher "includes the Planet Positive hybrid composite MX jaw dies, a rock breaker, rubber lining in the feeder, a belt cleaning set for the long main conveyor, as well as the latest intelligent crushing solution and the new Metrics remote monitoring platform."

Metso Outotec says at ConExpo it also will provide "a sneak peek at the future vision of the next generation of Lokotracks, which will continue to transform mobile crushing."

Also on display will be a Nordberg HP cone crusher, which Metso Outotec says "is undergoing an evolution." New models have been designed to be "even more efficient, meeting the varying and ever-increasing performance needs of the aggregates and mining industries," it adds.

The equipment provider also says its digital solution, Metso Outotec Metrics, which enables a wide range of services targeting improved performance, availability and equipment lifespan for different aggregates applications, also will be showcased at the event.
