Metso to deliver a large minerals processing equipment package to Kansanshi copper mine in Zambia

Metso’s scope of delivery includes apron feeders, Nordberg® MP800™ cone crushers, TankCell® e630 and TankCell® e300 mechanical flotation cells, high-intensity Concorde CellTM units, ColumnCellTM units, HRT thickeners and a clarifyer. Most of the separation equipment are part of Metso’s Planet Positive offering. Last year, Metso was awarded an order for two PremierTM grinding mills with a total installed power of 50 MW including Metso Megaliner™ and metallic mill linings.

Antti Rinne, Vice President, Flotation, Metso, said: “Kansanshi’s flotation flowsheet combines the well-proven, energy efficient TankCell® flotation cells with the new Concorde CellTM, unlocking the potential for further improved flotation performance. Concorde CellTM high-intensity, forced-air pneumatic flotation cells allow operations to enhance fine and ultrafine particle selectivity,” says
