Metso has signed an agreement for the supply of metallic mill linings for SAG mills and Megaliner™ mill linings for ball mills to a copper and gold mine in South-East Asia. It says the customer selected Metso’s metallic mill lining solutions after a performance test. In the test, Metso’s linings achieved better grinding efficiency, higher throughput, and lower energy consumption than linings from another supplier.

Metso says Megaliner™ ensures a long wear life and offers efficient and fast replacement of the lining systems. The order value of €17 million has been booked in the Minerals’ segment first-quarter orders received.

“We are extremely glad that our customer shows appreciation for Metso’s expertise in delivering the optimised linings for their needs. By utilising Metso’s fully customised linings, the customer will be able to reduce downtime and increase wear life. We are further developing our capabilities to recycle the worn-out linings,” says Irma Kurniawati, Vice President, Sales and Service Asia, Metso.

Metso says it offers the market’s most comprehensive range of mill linings and related services, with materials and designs optimised for each specific application.
