Canadian gold mining company Montage Gold has selected original-equipment manufacturer Metso to deliver all the feeders for its Koné gold project, in Côte d’Ivoire.
The order value has been booked in Metso’s Minerals 2025 fourth-quarter order intake, although the value of the order has not been disclosed.
“The delivery includes a complete range of feeders – apron, belt and vibrating – designed to integrate seamlessly with Metso’s process equipment previously ordered for the project,” Metso feeding solutions director Leif Berndt explained.
He added that the feeders were a critical component of the dry comminution process, ensuring precise connectivity and protection across the circuit.
“Our large belt feeders feature the Metso Trellex EP2500 Feeder Plus design, delivering superior strength and extended belt life compared with competing solutions,” Berndt claimed.
Feeders are used in mining operations to transfer materials from one process step to the next or to extract materials from storage stockpiles. Feeders ensure bulky materials are correctly dozed, delivering a uniform flow of dry or moist fraction of rock or minerals.
Metso’s range of feeders consists of apron feeders, belt feeders, grizzly feeders, pan feeders and wobbler feeders that are available as standard or customised versions. Edited by Chanel de Bruyn
