These products and services offer a solution to the problems posed by variables such as ore properties, product requirements, site conditions and environmental issues. It balances these against projected maintenance and wear costs, energy costs, manpower and other expenses. Benefits flow from improved control, stability and systems designed with operability and maintainability.

Extensive experience with the latest technology, pilot-scale trials and the specific needs of customers’ operations ensures complete mine-to-mill optimization. Metso has a proven track record in greenfields and its retrofit projects have evolved as a specialty.

Gearless AG / SAG and ball mills

Metso is the world’s leading supplier of gearless AG / SAG and ball mills. The experience gained from installation and operation of these mills has enabled Metso to offer some of the largest and most efficient grinding mills worldwide.

The current designs, the VERTIMILL® and stirred media detritor (SMD), are designed for applications such as primary, secondary, regrind, fine and ultra-fine grinding and lime slaking. The VERTIMILL has proven to be a versatile tool that exhibits many advantages over traditional ball milling. The VERTIMILL offers higher energy efficiency, which results in lower operating costs.

Primary gyratory crushers and cone crushers

Nordberg SUPERIOR® primary gyratory crushers are suited to high-capacity primary crushing applications, while the HP® series of cone crushers are the preferred secondary and tertiary crushers for the mining market.

Bulk materials handling systems

Feeding, conveying, loading, unloading, stockpiling or reclaiming; whatever your needs are, Metso has the bulk materials handling solution to meet your goal.

Mining screens and screening media

With a full line of mining screens for both wet and dry applications, as well as screening media for optimum end-product quality, Metso provides numerous vibrating equipment brands that the industry has grown to respect and trust.

In terms of volume, size reduction is the largest single process operation in minerals processing. Metso’s array of comminution equipment optimizes circuit efficiency to ensure a smooth beneficiation process.

Classification, agitation, flotation, magnetic separation, sedimentation, filtration, dewatering and drying technology

At the forefront of separation technology, Metso offers solutions to all beneficiation and upgrading applications, including classification, agitation, flotation, magnetic separation, sedimentation, filtration, dewatering and drying.

Heavy-duty centrifugal slurry pumps

Metso’s line of heavy-duty centrifugal slurry pumps has been renowned across the mining world for more than a century.

Rubber mill-lining wear protection solutions
