Nordic Mining ASA has awarded Metso Outotec an order for the delivery of an energy-efficient comminution technology package for its Engebø rutile and garnet greenfield project in Norway. The order, for which the value is not disclosed, has been booked in Minerals’ 2022 fourth-quarter orders received.
“This is another important milestone for the Engebø Project. We are very pleased to partner with Metso Outotec as the technology and service provider for this vital process equipment,” says CEO Ivar S. Fossum at Nordic Mining ASA.
Metso Outotec’s scope of delivery includes key comminution and classification equipment, comprising a C-type jaw crusher, PremierTM Rod mill, VertimillTM, and 12 UltraFine SeriesTM screens, as well as pre-production pilot-scale confirmatory test work.
“The combination of Metso Outotec’s Planet Positive equipment is exceptional in this project. By utilizing our PremierTM Rod mill and VertimillTM for primary and secondary grinding, as well as our UltraFineTM Screens for classification, this solution not only provides excellent energy efficiency but also superior sharpness of product particle size distribution. This will maximize the liberation and minimize losses in fines,” says Christoph Hoetzel, Senior Vice President, Grinding at Metso Outotec.
