Matt Cavedon, General Manager, Project Development at Perseus, noted: “Perseus is looking forward to the successful deployment of Metso’s state-of-the-art comminution technology, alleviating gearboxes with the benefits of precision control and high efficiency.”

“The Premier SAG mill and ball mill to be delivered to the Nyanzaga project feature low-speed synchronous motor drives without conventional gearboxes. This makes the mills very reliable and very efficient – a 2% saving in energy consumption when compared to traditional gearbox-driven mills. Both mills are equipped with Metso’s fail-safe Polymer Hydrostatic Shoe Bearing systems, significantly increasing reliability and reducing maintenance costs,” says Oskar Gustavson, Technology Director, Grinding at Metso.

Metso’s Premier™​​​​​​​ horizontal grinding mills are completely customizable solutions built on state-of-the-art grinding mill technology, process expertise, and design capability. The Premier™​​​​​​​ horizontal grinding mills are engineered to excel and create vast possibilities for customers and applications. In addition, Metso’s offering includes pre-engineered Select™​​​​​​​ horizontal grinding mills and state-of-the-art mill reline equipment, as well as a broad selection of liner options, including the innovative Megaliner™​​​​​​​. Complementary services include horizontal mill inspections programs, Life Cycle Services (LCS) contracts for planned shutdowns and maintenance, and a full range of spare and wear parts. Metso's Superior™​​​​​​​ MKIII primary gyratory crushers provide high throughput and less downtime to maximize operational efficiency.
