CRUSHING

Plugging crucial product gaps

The two new Metso Nordtrack jaw crushers – the J90 and J127 – recently launched locally by Pilot Crushtec as part of the nine-model introduction of the new Metso Nordtrack range in southern Africa, close some crucial gaps in the existing mobile crusher offering, writes Munesu Shoko .

I n October last year, Metso announced the ex- pansion of its mobile crushing and screening offering for the aggregates industry with an extensive new product portfolio. The new range comprised a total of 19 mobile machines, including jaw crushers, impact crushers, screens and conveyors. However, Pilot Crushtec International, the sole southern African Metso mobiles distributor, has launched a selection of nine products deemed complementary to the existing range and suitable for local conditions. Among the range of products introduced locally are the J90 and J127 jaw crushers.

Francois Marais, director – sales & marketing at Pilot Crushtec International, says the two jaws close some gaps in the company’s existing range, from an accessibility, pricing and product sizing perspective.
