Applicable to a wide range of mineral processing applications
Loesche has signed an exclusive partnership with Metso Corporation to introduce the pioneering Metso Loesche VRM dry grinding technology for a wide range of mineral processing applications
The partnership will combine Loesche’s vertical roller mill (VRM) technology with Metso’s expertise in sustainable end-to-end mineral processing solutions and global service capabilities. Together, the partners will support the mining industry in achieving efficiency gains through innovative technologies and redesigned process flow sheets.
Stefan Baaken, managing director of Loesche Australia and global head of Mining Applications at Loesche, said, "With Metso at our side, we are excellently positioned to offer significant added value to the mining industry and actively shape the transition to more resource-efficient processes. Our VRM technology has a proven track record with more than 2,400 references in the cement and other industries worldwide. We are delighted to now be able to use this proven technology in mineral processing, where it offers considerable advantages."
Bjorn Nielsen, vice president, HPGR & Dry Grinding at Metso, said, "We are very much looking forward to working with Loesche. The introduction of the Metso Loesche VRM sets new standards in sustainable crushing and brings significant benefits to the mining industry in terms of sustainability and efficiency. It significantly reduces energy consumption in one of the most energy-intensive steps and lowers operating costs through simplified flowsheets and reduced wear part consumption. In addition, the Metso Loesche VRM provides a steeper, more uniform particle size distribution and reduced oxidation of sulfide mineral particles, which improves downstream processing performance and supports more sustainable, resource-efficient mineral processing.”
