Metso to supply two grinding mills to iron ore producer in Canada

The value of the order, which exceeds €10 million, has been booked in Minerals segment’s 2023 third-quarter orders received.

Graham Davey, Director, Stirred Mills at Metso, comments:

“We are very pleased to collaborate on projects that support the decarbonisation of the steel industry through production of high-grade and high-purity iron ore with sustainable processes. The Vertimill stirred grinding mill technology is globally recognised as a leading solution for energy-efficient grinding. Compared to traditional technology, operators can typically save up to 30 – 35% of the electrical energy and grinding media consumption. A small footprint and easy installation are also big advantages.”

Vertimill technology is a prime example of Metso’s Planet Positive offering. It is capable of handling feed sizes of up to 6 mm and grinding to product sizes of 30 microns or less. Vertimill is available in standard mill sizes ranging from 15 HP (11 kW) to 4500 HP (3352 kW). Since the introduction of the technology in the 1990s, Metso has sold over 540 Vertimill units to nearly all types of minerals, including over 100 000 HP of just the 4500 size.>
