Increase energy efficiency and life-of-mine
Almost half of the energy consumed in the mining industry results from crushing and grinding operations. Together with declining ore grades and water shortages, this means that innovative, sustainable process solutions are urgently needed to improve efficiency and meet ever-stricter environmental regulations in both greenfield and brownfield operations.
Thanks to rapid development in established sensor technologies, sensor-based ore sorting is capable of transforming the outlook of the mining industry. TOMRA sorting technology combined with Metso's comprehensive process know-how and plant-engineering expertise offers you the most productive and sustainable process solutions for base and precious metals segments.
Reliable and cost-effective solutions
Our user-friendly, reliable, and low-maintenance technology will help you meet the demanding uptime and durability requirements of your mining projects. Additionally, wear is limited to a small number of parts, meaning that your personnel can perform basic maintenance activities on-site.
Our sorting equipment is easy to integrate into your process, including a secure data connection for software updates and remote access for diagnostics. Sensor-based sorters are cost-effective, as they require no chemicals and minimal water – only electricity and clean pressurized air. Our solutions are designed for high performance in a wide range of operating conditions.
