Making you more profitable

High Performance
for Higher Profitability

For high productivity, low operating and wear costs, long service life, and high product yield
with desired fines, theres no better choice than a cone crusher. And Nordberg leads this
market with its high-performance HP Series cone crushers for the aggregate and mining
markets.
Nordberg HP (High Performance) Series cone crushers feature a unique combination of
crusher speed, throw, and cavity design. This combination has proved revolutionary in
providing higher capacity and superior product quality, and in providing a wider range of
application suitability. From lime-stone to taconite, from ballast production to manufactured
sand, and from small portable plants, HP cone crushers provide unbeatable performance in
secondary, tertiary, and quaternary applications.

A history of quality
Nordberg HP cones are built on the success of our 70+ years of Symons cone experience,
and 20+ years of Nordberg Omnicone experience.
The Symons cone is well known for its rugged construction and application versatility. The
Symons cone has set the standard in the mining industry, where 24-hour, high-reduction
applications can destroy all but the most ruggedly built machine.
The Nordberg Omnicone introduced many new innovations to reduce maintenance and
operating costs, and to provide designed-in modern features such as hydraulic setting
adjustment, tramp release, and cavity clearing.
The field-proven HP series combines the best of these technologies to provide the highest
capacity, the best product shape, the highest on-spec yield, easy automation, and the
greatest possible reliability and flexibility. All to help you achieve the highest possible levels of
profitability.

Higher capacity
Thanks to the patented combination of higher speed and throw,
which increases the machines power rating and throughput
capability, HP Series cone crushers have the highest capacities for
their size in the industry.
HP technology allows you to use either fewer or smaller units to get
the highest possible production out of the smallest possible space.
Nordberg pioneered the HP technology, having developed it in
1989 through extensive pilot and full-size prototype testing.
Nordberg has been awarded patents for these innovative efforts.
Higher quality
The unique interparticle crushing action of HP Series cone

Mining
crushers creates a higher value for your product by providing a
more consistent gradation and a superior product shape (cubicity).
The ability to operate at a fixed mechanical setting instead of the
head floating on a column of hydraulic oil creates less setting drift
and provides more stability throughout the circuit. The proven
benefit of a threaded rotating bowl maintains a consistent setting
around the entire circumference of the crushing chamber. Also, the
use of a tramp release system with a fixed return point makes sure
that the crusher setting is instantaneously maintained even after
passing a piece of tramp iron. HP Series cone crushers also enable
you to produce a finer product with fewer crushing stages, lowering
your capital costs and saving energy.

range, the product gradation can be shifted to produce fewer fines

and a higher percentage of on-spec product. The HP cone crusher
creates a higher value product with less waste.

Less downtime
Release system
Dual-acting hydraulic tramp release cylinders mean the HP cone
crushers can pass tramp iron that would stall many competitors
crushers.The large clearing stroke independent of liner wear
reduces the effort required to clear a stalled crusher, reducing
downtime and increasing operator confidence.
Hydraulic motors rotate the bowl for fine control setting adjustments
that also rotate the bowl completely out of the adjustment ring
threads for liner changeout, greatly simplifying liner change.
Advanced liner retention technology increase reliability: Bowl
retaining wedges engage a self-tightening helix on the upper
section of the bowl liner, while a self-tightening lock-bolt retains the
mantle.

Easy to maintain Hydraulic adjustment

Bronze bushings used throughout provide superior load capability
in the high-shock, dusty crushing environment. Theyre low-cost,
and easy to replace in the field with normal tools. HP cone crushers
are easy to disassemble. All components are accessible from the
top or the side. The head and bowl can be removed without
upsetting a bolted interference fit.

Low maintenance costs

High performance non-contacting labyrinth seals provide high
reliability by keeping out dust without wearing out. Their simple
design means fewer moving parts come into contact with the rock
and dust.
Excellent wear protection of all crusher components including Liners fixing
replaceable head ball, mainframe seat liners, mainframe pin
bushings, countershaft box frame ring, counterweight guard,
mainframe liners, and the dead-bed feed hopper keep
maintenance costs to a minimum.

Application flexibily
HP cone crushers can be converted from the finest to the coarsest
cavity simply by replacing the mantle, bowl liner, adapter ring, and
wedge bolts.

Easy to operate
Using the hydraulic motor setting adjustment with the adjustment
under load capability makes it easy to balance the crushing circuit Sealing system
and optimize crusher productivity. The addition of a hydraulic motor
position transducer system to keep track of crusher setting is all
thats required to connect the crusher to a plant DCS system for full
automation applications.
Nordbergs global after-market network means help is always close
by. If you ever have any questions or problems, were always ready
to help get you operating at peak efficiency in no time.
