Metso wins order for Foresight™ semi-mobile primary gyratory crushing plant at Codelco’s Radomiro Tomic operation

Metso's Foresight™ Semi mobile primary gyratory (SMPG) crushing stations are modular by design and can be configured based on operational needs and productivity goals. There are 6 key configuration pillars that predominately will make up the configuration:

  • Capacity & structure is determined by throughput and truck sizes
  • Flow control determined by availability requirements, material characteristics and downstream conveyor layout
  • Electrification & automation for power integration and plant control
  • Process control driven by online process optimization and data analytics capabilities
  • Dust control depending on dust generation, plant operations and environmental considerations
  • Safety and maintenance depending on equipment and personnel access requirements

The Foresight™ SMPG station design in terms of capacity are driven by a few factors:

  • Truck sizes
  • Average hourly production requirement in tons
  • The run-of-mine (ROM) feed particle size distribution
  • Required maximum product size as P80 or P95

With this knowledge, the feed hopper, vault, truck ramps, crusher and discharge feeder can be selected accordingly.

The Foresight™ SMPG station electrification & automation contains:

  • E-house including switchgear, MCCs and VFDs
  • Cabling & instrumentation
  • Control & automation

The Foresight™ SMPG station’s modular and compact configuration allow for Apron feeder or Belt feeder discharge. Apron feeders offer the highest availability and lowest operating cost, demand a higher station height and CAPEX than a Belt feeder discharged plant though.

Metso SmartStation for process control boosts productivity. It allows for

  • advanced control for process balance
  • automatic wear compensation tracking product top–size
  • automatic speed adjustment for large block acceptance

The dust control configuration area allows matching regulatory, operational and material requirements with the correct suppression and/or collection equipment.

The parts that make up a dust control configuration for the SMPG station are:

  • Wet dust suppression
  • Dry de-dusting
  • Cover hoods

Metso’s Foresight™ SMPG has the highest inbuilt safety and maintainability of semi-mobile primary gyratory plants on the market. 

Our service teams support, operate and maintain crushing plants and conveying equipment around the globe and their feedback is continuously reflected in our design improvements. This enables Metso to match plant design and on-site performance, in operation and maintenance, to deliver the tons on a continuous basis, at highest availability.

Find below what makes us up such a safe and maintainable solution:

  • Eccentric cart and pin gate
  • Jib or bridge crain
  • Hoists & mainshaft stand
