Product Description
Metso Minerals — successor to Nordberg and Lokomo — supplied jaw crushers to hard-rock, taconite, and aggregate operations across North America. According to publicly filed asbestos litigation records, the belt-driven flywheel assemblies and clutch mechanisms on legacy Metso-lineage jaw crushers allegedly used woven asbestos-fabric drive belts and friction facings. Belt changes, clutch adjustments, and cutting/dressing operations allegedly released respirable fibers inside enclosed crushing plants.
Workers Exposed
Crusher operators, hard-rock miners assisting with primary and secondary crushing outages, mill operators, and mineral processing plant workers cleaning belt debris are reported in publicly filed litigation records to have allegedly encountered asbestos fibers around Metso-lineage jaw crushers. Belt replacement in dust-heavy environments allegedly compounded fiber exposure.
