Nordtracks have standard designs for off-the-shelf availability, plug-and-play features and they can utilize the extensive Metso support network, making them ideal for a variety of applications like recycling, demolition and the processing of sand and gravel.
"The sales of Metso's Nordtrack products have taken off as expected, and our customers have appreciated the way we meet the needs of different customer segments with this new offering. Metso has sold more than 50 units to date, about half of them to North America. Currently Metso is developing the range further, and new features are still expected in 2020," said Vesa Tuloisela, director of Metso's Nordtrack product offering in the aggregates business area.
