With its deep industry knowledge and leading technology, Metso continues to support the development of the South American aggregates industry.
South America's first Nordberg® GP220(TM) cone crusher is in operation and yielding good results at Arenas y Gravas La Fontana in Colombia. The new cone is increasing the company's monthly production by 114%. The crusher is designed according to the highest quality standards, which makes it the best in its class and offers La Fontana the opportunity to increase productivity while adhering to strict environmental regulations. In addition to the crusher, Metso's delivery included two primary screens, Nordberg® CVB 1540-1P and Nordberg® CVB 2050-3.
"The GP220 helps us to increase our monthly production from 14,000 tons to 30,000 tons. At the moment, its performance has already exceeded our expectations. These results demonstrate why we chose Metso. We know the brand and the quality of the equipment and the level of service they offer. Metso is our first choice," notes Anderson Salinas, General Manager of Arenas y Gravas La Fontana.
The new crusher offers the customer big advantages for several reasons. It combines high performance with operational flexibility, and its high-quality components maximize availability. In addition, thanks to its low energy consumption of only 200 KW, the GP220 has a capacity 20%-30% higher than other cone crushers in the same size class. The crusher weighs 10,500 kilograms and has a maximum feed size of +200 mm.
