Metso has made significant investments in its slurry pump capabilities in South America in the last few years by establishing pump assembly and competence centers in Peru and Brazil.
These regional Metso Pump hubs serve mining customers with a full range of slurry handling solutions, shorter lead times, and reduced transport-related CO2 emissions.
“Our investments in our regional pump hubs have paid off,” says Eduado Orsi, manager, Pump Application and Sales at Metso in Brazil. “Our customers get fast access to our experts and the whole breadth of our pumps offering.”
Orsi mentions this quarter’s record-breaking Metso order of nearly 100 pumps for an iron ore mine and another major order for a copper mine in 2023, including a significant number of horizontal and vertical slurry pumps.
Metso offers complete solutions for slurry handling, including equipment and parts, as well as optimization and maintenance services. The equipment offering includes slurry pumps, pipes, hoses, valves and hydrocyclones.
