Metso has locked in supply deals for two copper mines in Kazakhstan and Mongolia in Central Asia.
The contracts will see Metso deliver three Superior MKIII primary gyratory crushers to two copper processing plants, as well as supplying 18 apron feeders, systems engineering, electrical and control solutions, and other auxiliary equipment.
“These projects are also strong examples of Metso’s ability to supply feeders for all applications, but most notably, to complement our extensive crusher portfolio,” Metso bulk materials handling director Brian Bookamyer said.
Metso’s Superior MKIII primary gyratory crushers aim to provide high throughput and less downtime, enabling maximum efficiency to the operation.
The product family has been developed especially to meet the needs of customers facing changing ore grades and conditions in mining operations.
“Primary gyratory crushers are the initial driving force for the entire mineral processing circuit,” Metso crushing and conveying systems vice president Erwin Huber said.
“We’ve supported both customers from the very early stages of their projects and are pleased to see Metso’s powerful Superior MKIII primary gyratory crushers implemented in the process to ensure high throughput.
“This crusher is one of the most capex efficient primary gyratory crushers in the industry.”
Metso will also provide a comprehensive scope of spare and wear parts and services to optimise the crushing circuit operation throughout the life cycle.
Since the product family’s launch in 2018, Metso has sold more than 50 Superior MKIII primary gyratory crushers around the world.
The contracts are the latest in a slew of supply deals Metso has struck across the globe, the most recent of which seeing the company supply crushing equipment to the world’s largest untapped iron ore deposit in Guinea.
