High crushing performance from Metso’s new HRC 8 with a 50% reduction in energy consumption

April 10, 2025 Read time: 1 min
Metso’s new crusher offers high performance

The new Metso HRC 8 is a high-pressure grinding rolls (HPGR) crusher that not only supports sustainable operations, but also offers process flexibility, higher capacity, and low-energy and wear-part consumption.

Metso HRC 8 is available as a stationary crusher or as a part of Nordplant’s pre-designed crushing modules and plants. As a portable model on Nordwheeler, the crusher provides flexibility for relocation based on material location. Due to its energy efficiency, it is included in the Metso Plus offering.  

The HRC 8 crusher generates very low dust emissions and noise levels, saves up to 50% of energy use compared to other technologies, and can convert quarry waste and demolition waste (upcycled construction and demolition waste CDW) into high-quality, high-value sellable products.  

It can release recycled cement from CDW, produce high-quality manufactured sand, and improve poor-quality sand, thereby avoiding the use of virgin resources, and upcycling quarry waste materials.
