Metso NW Rapid(TM), the revolutionary crushing and screening plant concept gains
ground among aggregates producers
The revolutionary Metso NW Rapid is the world's first and only wheel-mounted
crushing plant that fits into standard containers and can be set up for
operation in less than 12 hours. In addition to fast installation, the NW Rapid
can increase production capacity by as much as 30% and offer higher uptime,
better safety and ease of use.
In the highly competitive aggregates market, Metso's customers are increasingly
looking for more cost-efficient ways to improve their productivity and lower
cost of operations. The NW Rapid crushing and screening system, introduced a
year ago, has proven to provide flexibility at a whole new level. The concept
helps aggregates producers to now profit more from even smaller contracts than
before and to change site locations more often.
NW Rapid's high production capacity was one of the decisive factors when M/s M G
Contractors Pvt Ltd in India was looking for a new plant.
"The new Metso NW Rapid plant is a perfect fit for our growing needs for more
eco-friendly, mobile and economical solutions. When looking at the available
products in the market, we realized that the NW Rapid is a breakthrough in terms
of application and quality. It is also backed by Metso's good brand reputation
and their service standards. With this purchase, we feel confident that our
production efficiency will increase by as much as 30% compared to a traditional
solution. The 12-hour set-up time is extraordinary," says Udit Mittal, Director,
M/s M G Contractors Pvt Ltd.
Unique design features increase production and cost efficiency
Setting up a conventional portable crushing and screening plant normally takes
at least a week and often requires preparations with foundations and other site
conditions. In addition, equipment transportation can be difficult and require
special arrangements. The NW Rapid is the first and only compact wheel-mounted
crushing plant on the market that fits compactly into standard 40-foot (12-
meter) containers, allowing it to be easily transported from one place to
another by sea, rail or truck. Fast installation and dismantling is facilitated
with hydraulically fine-adjustable support legs, hopper walls and screen
lifting.
"Cost-efficiency achieved by easy set-up and flexibility serves our customers in
the emerging markets particularly well, since it is important to be able to
swiftly move production to where the construction projects are situated," says
Julius Mäkelä, Product Manager, Portable Solutions, Metso.
The NW Rapid Series includes equipment for multiple aggregate production needs,
such as portable jaw crushing, cone crushing as well as horizontal and vertical
shaft impactor plants. With these products, customers can set up multistage
crushing and screening plants for high-quality end products as well as for
ballast production. The NW Rapid crushing and screening plant can be fed by
excavator, wheel loader or dump trucks. Ready-made layouts cover screen feed and
cone feed applications, with and without surge hoppers and field conveyors.
The increased capacity is mainly achieved by the powerful Nordberg® GP220(TM)
cone crusher and the new four-deck dual-slope screen, enabling higher screening
performance. The whole process can be precisely adjusted by a process control
system.
"The new Metso IC50C(TM) process control system forms a seamless combination
between the primary crushing stage and the secondary crushing & screening stage
of the plant. The whole process, including field conveyors, can be started and
stopped with the push of a single button, making daily operations safe and
easy," says Mäkelä.
The NW Rapid complies with European safety standards, and it can be issued with
a CE marking.
