Secondary and tertiary crushing is where the final product specification is set. A cone crusher running at the right feed rate, with the correct closed-side setting for the required product, determines the fraction that goes to the screen and eventually to the customer or the next processing stage. The Metso HP500 is a well-established secondary and tertiary cone in the HP Series line, with a feed size capacity up to 369 mm in secondary configuration and a throughput range that places it at home in large aggregate plants, copper ore processing circuits, and aggregate-for-construction operations where consistent product gradation is the difference between meeting the spec and not.
We finance HP500 cone crushers for operators buying new from Metso dealers, purchasing used machines through dealer or private channels, and for existing owners who want to refinance or do a sale-leaseback to release equity. The HP500 has strong secondary market liquidity because it is a widely deployed machine with a well-understood rebuild cycle, and that liquidity supports solid equipment valuations that make the financing straightforward for qualified buyers.
Operations That Run the HP500
Aggregate producers feeding road base and concrete aggregate markets typically run the HP500 in secondary position after a jaw crusher and rely on it to produce the minus-inch or minus-three-quarter-inch products that the screen deck classifies for market. In that role, the HP500's ability to handle varying feed gradations while maintaining consistent closed-side product is particularly valuable because aggregate markets have tight spec tolerances.
In mineral processing, particularly in gold and copper operations, the HP500 appears in intermediate crushing stages ahead of SAG or ball mill circuits where reducing feed size improves mill efficiency. Mining operators in Arizona's copper districts nearGlobe, AZand Nevada operations aroundBattle Mountain, NVrun cone crushers in this application regularly. The HP500's power draw and hydraulic tramp iron relief system make it well-suited to the variable feed hardness that characterizes blended ore from multiple stopes or benches.
Contract crushing operations that move equipment between quarry and mining sites benefit from the HP500's availability in skid-mounted and portable configurations that allow relocation without major civil dismantlement. Financing for contract operators is structured around the machine's mobility, because a machine that earns revenue at multiple sites over a year has a different availability profile than one in a fixed plant.
New and Used HP500 Financing Compared
New HP500 units come through Metso's dealer network with current specifications and the full warranty package. Financing a new unit is cleaner administratively but carries a higher acquisition cost. Terms up to 84 months are typical on new machines, and for tax-advantaged buyers,bonus depreciation financingcan structure the acquisition to maximize first-year tax benefit.
Used HP500s are widely available because the machine has been in production for many years and large numbers are in service globally. A used HP500 in good condition with a current inspection is a strong finance candidate. The key variables are the condition of the main shaft, the liner wear remaining, the hydraulic cylinder condition, and whether the bowl and mantle are at the correct CSS for the planned application. We work withused mining equipment financingstructures that account for machine condition and market value rather than applying new-machine assumptions to used-machine deals.
For buyers comparing the HP500 against alternative secondary cones, the financing terms for equivalent machines from other manufacturers are comparable. We finance cone crushers across brands; the HP500's strong secondary market and documented rebuild cycle simply make the underwriting cleaner. If you are deciding between models, we can run comparable term sheets for different machines so you have the financing side of the decision clearly in front of you alongside the operational comparison.
How the Financing Process Works
The process starts with the application covering your business entity, ownership, and the equipment you want to finance. For HP500 deals within the application-only range (up to around $400,000), a decision typically comes back within a few business days. Larger packages require three months of business bank statements, which extends the timeline slightly but not significantly. The complete path from application to funded deal is typically one to two weeks.
Once approved, we send a term sheet that details the payment, term, total cost, and any conditions. You review, sign the documents, and the funds transfer to the seller or to your account depending on the transaction type. For purchase transactions, we coordinate directly with the dealer or private seller to handle the title transfer. For refinances and sale-leasebacks, the process is similar but the funds flow back to you rather than to a seller.
Operators in regions with active aggregate demand, such as the construction markets served out ofPhoenix, AZandHouston, TX, often have equipment acquisition decisions that move quickly because the market does not wait. Our process is designed to match that pace when the file is ready to move.
