Keeping assets running
Extended life through targeted mechanical and electrical upgrades with proactive servicing improves equipment reliability, preventing unplanned outages and down time.
End to end capability
An end-to-end approach to modernizations and upgrades helps extend the life of existing bulk material handling equipment across port operations.
Throughput reliability
Equipment optimization and automation technologies improve equipment reliability, availability and uptime increasing sustained tons per hour.
Modernizations and upgrades for bulk material handling equipment
You want to keep your bulk material handling and port equipment moving without unnecessary replacement or disruption. By focusing on wear parts and spare parts for your bulk handling equipment, and targeted modernizations, you can improve reliability, availability, and safety while keeping costs under control.
Metso helps you move material more reliably by extending asset life and improving performance through upgrades, refurbishments and automation solutions. This strengthens material flow, reduces operational risk and supports continuous operations across your site.
These modernizations often include electrical and automation upgrades that bring aging equipment up to current safety and regulatory standards, helping extend equipment life and reduce the risk of unplanned downtime.
Rotary car dumpers
Metso’s railcar handling solutions cover the complete unloading process for bulk materials transported by rail. The offering includes car dumpers, railcar positioning systems, standard trunnion solutions, and pullers, designed to handle a wide range of materials, wagon types and requirements.
Positioning and train holding equipment ensure controlled railcar movement and secure unloading, while pullers provide a cost-effective option for smaller operations. Integrated electrical, control, and instrumentation systems synchronize all functions, delivering reliable, site-specific solutions for ports, terminals and industrial applications.
Through the Axo33™ platform - Opens in a new window, Metso can deliver integrated automation and digital control for new installations or retrofit existing railcar handling systems, including non Metso equipment, to improve accuracy, safety and throughput.
