Metso islaunching productized FIT™ in-plant and Foresight™ overland conveyors forreliable material transportation in the mining industry. The standardizedconveyor modules and premium components offer high capacity and layoutflexibility as well as substantial savings in time and resources, fromfeasibility and design to implementation, thereby enabling higher lifetimeproductivity.
The high-capacityMetso Foresight™ overland conveyors are fixed or relocatable and connectthe primary crushing station with the coarse ore stockpile. The MetsoFIT™ in-plant conveyors are compatible with Metso FIT™ crushingplants that are designed for the most demanding miningapplications.
“The modularFIT™ and Foresight™ conveyors take project ease, speed, and productivity to thenext level. We have designed these conveyors for easier planning,configuration, installation, and maintenance with a wide range of modules andcomponents. This enables our mining customers to get their in-plant andoverland conveying systems up and running faster and brings a quicker return oninvestment,” says Guillaume Lambert, SVP, Crushing at Metso.
“Thanks to thestandardized modular design of the conveyors, we have been able to shortendelivery time by up to 25 per cent and set-up time by up to 15 per cent. Metsopremium components are used in the conveyors, and the use ofConveyInsights™ predictive maintenance and flow control technology canhelp our customers achieve their productivity targets. To improve thefeasibility study process on Foresight™ overland conveyors, we developed theWilliam Conveyor Explorer, an application software that is connected to ourconveyor module range. It can be found in the new Metso Crush and ConveyResource Centre. Our mining and EPC/M customers can enter their process androute data and then instantly assess multiple options and download the modulesthey need for efficient planning in their software environment. Thisdevelopment also supports mine electrification programs to reach fastdecarbonization plans and targets,” notes Lambert.
To ensurecontinuous conveyor performance, Metso can provide a wide scope of servicesranging from optimization and life-cycle services to premium wear and spareparts. Metso has installed over 1,000km of conveyors globally.
