The first of Metso’s new range of diesel-electric Lokotrack crushers and screens will be launched in spring 2024. The launch event, called Lokolaunch, will take place at the Nokia Arena in Tampere, Finland, from May 14 to 16, 2024.
The new track-mounted Lokotrack range, called the EC range, is designed and built on a new platform that Metso has been developing since 2020. The Lokotrack EC units feature a diesel-electric powerline. All process functions are electrically driven and controlled by automation to always perform at the ideal load level. The new Lokotrack will have a distinctive design and will feature digital tools that help make operating and maintaining the units easier than before.
“This new hybrid equipment with higher efficiency and lower emissions will also significantly contribute to Metso’s Planet Positive offering and the company’s commitment to reach its ambitious climate targets. The new range, along with its related parts and services, has been designed to address the evolving needs of the industry,” says Jarmo Vuorenpää, director of the new Lokotrack offering at Metso.
In addition to launching the new Lokotrack EC range at the Lokolaunch event, Metso will present its latest advancements in crushing technology, utilization of digital tools, and parts and services.
“Lokolaunch 2024 is more than just an event for customers and other key stakeholders. It signifies a demonstration of our commitment to pushing the boundaries of innovation and sustainability for the aggregates industry. We are excited to gather the industry’s key players to celebrate this great milestone with us,” says Renaud Lapointe, senior vice president of Metso products business line in the aggregates business area.
