Metso introduces new stirred mill

Developed as a solution to lower total cost of ownership, the large mill allows for more available grinding power. One Vertimill 7000 grinding mill replaces the need for multiple smaller stirred mills to achieve the same power output.

“The Metso Vertimill 7000 features the same high energy efficiency as the previous models, but with over 50% more power. In addition, it is equipped with double door access, so less space is needed to open the doors. The unit has also been equipped with side discharge grinding media ports to avoid double handling of the media during service operations. Just like the other Vertimill models, this new giant can be used for grinding almost any type of ore bodies. Typically, these robust stirred mills are used for regrinding, secondary and tertiary grinding, as well as for lime slaking,” explained Graham Davey, Director, Stirred Mills at Metso.

“Metso Vertimill stirred mills offer the lowest total cost of ownership thanks to their superior energy efficiency, long maintenance intervals and improvement in the profitability of concentrators. With over 500 installations worldwide, the Vertimill has proved to be a reliable grinding solution,” noted Davey.

Vertimill grinding mills are part of Metso’s Planet Positive offering and provide up to 40% better energy efficiency than ball mills. The robust and vertical design benefits customers through long component lifetimes and as much as a 50% reduction in plant footprint.
