Metso is investing in screening media manufacturing to meet growing demand from
the mining industry
Metso Corporation's press release on March 2, 2017 at 12:00 a.m. EET
Metso is expanding its global manufacturing capacity for rubber screening media
used in minerals processing by investing in three new injection presses. The
presses will be installed at Metso's facilities in Australia, India and Sweden
by early 2018.
The EUR 1.7 million investment will significantly increase Metso's global rubber
screening media manufacturing capacity. The demand for Metso's screening media
has grown in the mining segment after the introduction of 1'x1' modular
screening media, Trellex(TM )305PS, in 2016.
"Uptime and availability mean the world to our customers. A mine can easily
consume thousands of screening media modules in a year. During maintenance, the
right modules simply have to be at the right place at the right time. With this
investment, we can answer our customers' needs and ensure on-time delivery,"
says Claes Larsson, Product Manager, Screening Media, Metso.
The 1'x1' (305 mm x 305 mm) screening media module size is a standard in major
mining markets, due to safety and compatibility reasons. Metso made the decision
to include the size in its Trellex product range, based on customer demand.
"We are already the number one service partner for the mining industry.
Complementing our extensive wear parts portfolio with an industry standard such
as 1'x1' screening media is a natural step in strengthening this position. We
are the only supplier able to provide everything that a mine needs in a
comminution circuit, from spare and wear parts to equipment and service," says
Jose E. Perez, Senior Vice President, Crushing and Screening Wears, Metso.
"With this investment, we expand our manufacturing footprint to be better able
to serve our customers efficiently, conveniently, with an eye towards shorter
lead times and reduced inventory requirements," he continues.
As a part of its commitment to availability and short lead times, Metso is
prepared to make further investments in screening media manufacturing if the
demand continues to grow.
