Providing unmatched safety and availability in mining
Metso is launching three new primary crushers- Metso Primarok, Metso Optirok, and Metso Durarok. Designed to address the needs of modern mining operations, these crushers can provide superior capacity, safer maintenance, and the lowest capital expenditure and total cost of ownership across a range of primary crushing applications and ore types
Olli-Pekka Oksanen, senior vice president, Crushing at Metso, said, “Mining operations today require crushing solutions that are not only powerful, but predictable, safe, and optimised for the specific application. At the same time, primary crushing as the first stage in concentrate processing lays the foundation for overall recovery efficiency.
“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 offers the highest capacity of any gyratory on the market, while Optirok is designed to address high-capacity primary crushing in compact footprints. Durarok, on the other hand, is a robust solution for materials with variability and moisture constraints and demanding operating conditions.”
Metso Primarok
The Metso Primarok has been built on more than a century of experience in gyratory crushing and can handle demanding primary crushing applications with ease. Its optimised kinematics, refined chamber design, and ability to accept large feed sizes enable high efficiency and stable performance, as well as quick and secure shutdowns, with every maintenance task streamlined to enhance efficiency and safety.
Metso Optirok
Metso Optirok is an evolution of the primary jaw crusher, enhancing crushing in applications with limited space and height. It can provide unmatched productivity, integrated scalping, and a high reduction ratio, efficiently processing large volumes of run-of-mine material while withstanding hard-rock and abrasive applications. Its features help to simplify maintenance, improve safety, and reduce downtime.
Metso Durarok
The Metso Durarok primary sizer integrates 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 utilisation and uptime than conventional solutions, reducing operating costs and increasing capacity. It is suitable for handling sticky materials, soft to medium-hard ores, and demanding mining applications.
Support for crushing operations
Metso has provided thousands of crushers to mining and aggregates customers, building a broad installed base across applications and commodities. The new primary crushers strengthen Metso’s crushing portfolio, which includes jaw, cone, impact, and gyratory crushers available as stationary, semi-mobile, and mobile solutions. As a provider of minerals processing solutions and services, Metso’s offering also covers lifecycle services and upgrades, as well as data-driven services and performance-based service models.
Webinar
For more information about the new primary crushers, Metso is hosting a webinar on June 17, 2026, from 18:00-19:30 EEST. The webinar can be accessed via this link.
