Metso Outotec has signed a $30 million (EUR 19 million) services contract to deliver four ball mill upgrade packages to a copper and gold mine in the Asia Pacific region.
The refurbishment project for the older, existing assets aim to extend the mill’s operating life, increase energy efficiency, and minimise waste and plant downtime.
Additionally, equipment refurbishments can lead to improved machine availability and safety by delivering the latest available technology.
Metso Outotec, Senior Vice President of the Grinding, Bulk and Pyro business line, Jonathan Allen said the company is pleased to have been chosen as the supplier for the grinding mill refurbishment project.
