Designed for hard rock applications, the HRX800 is a smaller-scale alternative to the HRX1000, providing the same high capacity and efficiency in a more compact form.

Komatsu announced the expansion of its hard rock crushing equipment portfolio with the introduction of the HRX800 sizer, an innovative solution designed to enhance efficiency and productivity while reducing waste.

This product line extension underscores Komatsu's commitment to providing customers with robust, high-performing machines that drive production growth and add value to their mining operations, according to the company.

Komatsu's comprehensive crushing lineup includes feeder breakers, reclaim feeders, mobile crushers and sizers, all engineered to meet the demanding needs of modern mining operations.

The HRX800, launching at MINExpo 2024, represents the next step in Komatsu's evolution of crushing technology. Designed for hard rock applications, the HRX800 is a smaller-scale alternative to the HRX1000, providing the same high capacity and efficiency in a more compact form. This sizer is ideal for both underground and surface installations, offering the benefits of fines reduction in demanding applications of hard abrasive minerals or wet and sticky material.

"We are excited to introduce the HRX800 to our customers," said Brandon Phillips, global product manager of sizers and feeder breakers at Komatsu. "The HRX800 is designed to push the envelope on where sizers can be successfully applied, delivering the power and performance our customers expect from Komatsu while offering the flexibility needed in today's dynamic mining environments."

The HRX1000 is designed to accept run-of-mine materials and crush them to a size suitable for conveyor transport, making it a crucial component in mining operations that demand high production capacity. The HRX1000's innovative pick technology efficiently breaks down minerals in tension, reducing the need for multiple crushers and lowering operating costs. Its versatility makes it an invaluable asset in a wide range of mining applications.
