Metso Minerals
Environmental awareness has been the major driving force in the rapid development of the filtration and dewatering technology. Also increasing energy and personnel costs have made tougher demands on efficiency and automation of processes.
Metso's Conventional thickeners & clarifiers are designed for continuous 24 hour per day operation in chemical, industrial mineral and ore processing industries. Units are supplied in two basic configurations: bridge or centre pier mounted.
Metso's lamella principle uses several parallel inclined plates to maximise the available area for any available floor area.
The HR rubber lined, heavy duty slurry pumps are designed for the toughest pumping applications.
MR rubber lined mining duty slurry pumps are designed to provide an economical solution to medium abrasive solids, lower solids concentrations and medium head applications.
Metso's VF froth pump has been designed to increase the pumpability of frothy suspensions. The principle of operation is similar to that of hydro- cyclone separation
All Metso's sump pumps are designed specifically for abrasive slurries and feature robust design with ease of maintenance.
Metso's VT vertical tank pumps are designed for abrasive slurry service and feature simple maintenance and robust construction.
Metso's spiral dewaterer consists basically of an open trough with arrangements for collection of the products.
VASA HD and XR rubber lined, extra heavy duty large size slurry pumps are designed for the most arduos pumping applications.
This development requires reliable automatic operation and simple maintenance from heavy industry.Metso's vertical plate pressure filter VPA has been developed to meet these requirements.
