Metso is launching a FIT in-plant conveyor and a Foresight overland conveyor for material transportation in the mining industry. The standardized conveyor modules and components offer high capacity and layout flexibility and savings in time and resources.
Metso Foresight overland conveyors are fixed or relocatable and connect the primary crushing station with the coarse ore stockpile. The Metso FIT in-plant conveyors are compatible with Metso FIT crushing plants designed for mining applications.
"We have designed these conveyors for easier planning, configuration, installation, and maintenance with a wide range of modules and components. This enables our mining customers to get their in-plant and overland conveying systems up and running faster and brings a quicker return on investment," says Guillaume Lambert, SVP of crushing at Metso.
"Thanks to the standardized modular design of the conveyors, we have been able to shorten delivery time by up to 25 percent and set-up time by up to 15 percent," continues Lambert. "Metso premium components are used in the conveyors, and the use of ConveyInsights predictive maintenance and flow control technology can help our customers achieve their productivity targets. To improve the feasibility study process on Foresight overland conveyors, we developed the William Conveyor Explorer, an application software that is connected to our conveyor module range. It can be found in the new Metso Crush and Convey Resource Center. Our mining and EPC/M customers can enter their process and route data and then instantly assess multiple options and download the modules they need for efficient planning in their software environment. This development also supports mine electrification programs to reach fast decarbonization plans and targets."
