After successful installation of the railcar dumper pic-tured here for Hamersley Iron in 2011,
Metso will deliver a second unit to the Australian iron ore producer in 2013.
Metso to Deliver Second Rotary Railcar Dumper
Metso announced it will supply a tandem rotary railcar dumper to Hamersley Iron Pty Ltd. with delivery going to Hamersley Iron’s Cape Lambert, Port B iron ore operation in Western Australia. The order—value of which was not disclosed—also includes spare parts, technical assistance during installation, pre-commissioning, commis-sioning and performance testing.
Metso said the design of the equip-ment allows for lower maintenance and higher, more efficient material output flow, and ease and safety of maintenance is also improved through a reduction of overall components.
Delivery is scheduled for the second quarter of 2013.
