Metso says it has been awarded with repeat orders in concentrate and tailings filtration worth some €10 million ($12 million).
The majority of the orders are for filter modernisations and upgrades; full-scope replacement of HRT thickeners, including the latest Reactorwell™ and Thickener Vane Feedwell™ feed systems, which are part of the Metso Plus portfolio, were also ordered.
Year-to-date, orders in concentrate and tailings filtration modernisations total approximately €60 million.
Felipe Bañados, Vice President, Beneficiation and Dewatering Services, Product Commercial Support at Metso, said: “Proactive maintenance is shaping customer decisions, with reliability fueling interest in concentrate filtration solutions. In thickeners, growth is fueled by sustainability and water management initiatives, with older equipment being retrofitted with advanced technology to enhance reliability and to ensure cost-effective, environmentally responsible operations.
“We are delighted that customers recognise Metso’s dedication to meeting customers’ diverse dewatering solution needs, offering reduced response times, environmental advantages and ensuring delivery reliability.”
Metso says it has an exceptional track record for innovation with a diverse portfolio of thickening and clarifying products, suiting a wide range of applications. Metso’s filtration portfolio consists of 16 different filter types and comprehensive services for various applications. Over 80% of Metso filters are part of the company’s Metso Plus portfolio, primarily due to their efficiency in the recovery and reuse of water.
Earlier this year, Metso opened a cutting-edge Dewatering Development Hub in Irapuato, Mexico, expanding Metso’s existing filtration manufacturing footprint across Finland, India and China. At the new hub, Metso produces polymer filter plates for sub-assemblies and new filtration equipment by Metso and other suppliers. The hub is also equipped with extensive product development capabilities.
