The combined order value of over €30 million is booked in the Minerals segment’s fourth-quarter 2023 orders received.

“Primary gyratory crushers are the initial driving force for the entire mineral processing circuit. We’ve supported both customers from the very early stages of their projects and are pleased to see Metso’s powerful Superior™ MKIII primary gyratory crushers implemented in the process to ensure high throughput. This crusher is one of the most capex efficient primary gyratory crushers in the industry,” shares Erwin Huber, Vice President, Crushing and Conveying Systems at Metso.

“These projects are also strong examples of Metso’s ability to supply feeders for all applications, but most notably, to complement our extensive crusher portfolio,” says Brian Bookamyer, Director, Bulk Materials Handling at Metso.
