Metso Outotec reported it sold two primary crushing stations with Metso Superior MKIII 60-110 gyratory crushers and 30 apron feeders to a mine in the Russian Far East. The order is valued at $27 million, and the stations will be commissioned in 2023.
The capacity of the new MKlll crusher is 25% higher than the capacity of the previous generation, and will help the mine and plant achieve its target capacity, Metso Outotec said. “The advantages of the new equipment will be fully implemented at the future mining and processing plant,” Alexey Muzychkin, president, Russia and CIS, Metso Outotec, said.
Separately, Metso Outotec acquired Australia-based fastener and wear-monitor technology provider Davies Wear Plate Systems (DWPS).
DWPS supplies fasteners with a unique locking mechanism that does not require traditional studs and nuts, which speeds maintenance work, Metso Outotec reported. DWPS also supplies wear plate monitoring technology that can be used to determine change-out timing.
Metso Outotec said the acquisition supports its goal to offer comprehensive solutions for the entire wear lining value chain. “We now have the market’s widest range of optimized wear protection solutions, tools and services,” Sami Takaluoma, president, consumables protection solutions, tools and services, Metso Outotec, said. “The new technology will increase safety during maintenance and increase uptime.”
