Metso says it has been awarded repeat orders for a mining customer’s sites in Africa for the supply of liners for SAG and ball mills. Metso’s scope of supply includes metallic liners for the SAG mills, and Metallic and Megaliner ™ composite linings for the ball mills.

Additional services are offered including MillMapper™ liner wear monitoring, Metrics digital monitoring, on-site support and performance guarantees.

By using Metso’s expertise and world-class technology the customer will be able to ramp-up faster to optimal mill speed, enhance grinding efficiency and reduce pebble production, the OEM claims.

Additionally, the site will improve by having quicker and safer liner installations, as well as gain improved performance by implementing wear life simulations. Megaliner offers efficient liner replacement which results in reduced downtime for relining, as well as increased safety during the reline, Metso claims.

The value of the orders amounts to circa €14 million ($15.5 million). The first part of the orders was booked in the Minerals segment’s June quarter, and the rest in the September quarter 2024 order received.

Sherwin Preamdutt, Director Sales & Service Region Central East Africa, said: “We are delighted with the customers’ trust in our solutions and expertise. Metso’s advanced technologies help our customers improve performance on-site in terms of increased production and enhanced efficiencies. This coupled with the improved sustainability aspects of the Metso liners made the value proposition more attractive to the customer. We are committed to executing on our actions and providing increased value to our customers operations,”
