Safe rock crushing in cities

Metso Lokotrack® UrbanTM series mobile crushing plant revolutionizes crushing in densely populated environments, such as city centers. The new solution simplifies crushing operations, incorporates significant noise protection and cuts dust emissions remarkably. “We developed this new solution to make it possible to run crushing operations in the most heavily regulated urban environments. Obtaining environmental permits is very tough when crushing in densely populated areas. The new Lokotrack Urban series, however, provides robust crushing power while minimizing the impact for people and communities around the site,” says Jouni Hulttinen, Product Manager, Lokotrack mobile crushing plants, at Metso.

 

Environmental permits usually regulate the noise level caused by the crushing operations. From occupational health and safety perspective, 85 decibels is the most common level defined that requires ear protection, although even much lower levels can be disturbing for people living or working around crushing sites. With the noise-protected Lokotrack Urban LT106, the required protection distance drops up to 60 % from 23 to 25 m to 9 to 11 m. In addition to very low noise emissions, the Lokotrack Urban series includes a very advanced dust suppression system. The dust is funneled to stay inside the mobile crushing plant and a high-pressure water spraying system absorbs most dust particles from the air. The crushing plant is also very easy to move from one site to another.
