Metso has signed two separate multi-year Life Cycle Services (LCS) deals with major mining customers, to service and implement the company’s Larox PF filters.
In a company press release, Metso said one of the LCS is a 5-year contract with a South American copper producer. The second is a 4-year contract with a lead and zinc company in the Asia Pacific region. Orders totaled nearly €60 million – one of these agreements being among the largest LCS nomination orders Metso has ever received, according to the company.
The deal structure is based on Metso’s Larox PF panel package management service concept, which combines planned maintenance, repairs and upgrades over a long period of time. “This long-term service model supports proactive maintenance, ensures predictable performance and provides cost transparency,” said Frank Araneda, LCS Solutions Sales Manager at Metso.
Metso’s Larox PF automatic pressure filters are often used in bulk mining operations and in refineries to dewater mineral concentrates and wash solids.
“With our local service presence, digital solutions and proven lifecycle concepts, we are focused on helping customers improve reliability, increase predictability and deliver measurable long-term value in their operations,” added Mika Terkkonen, Senior Vice President of Water Enrichment, Dewatering and Hydro Minerals at Metso.
The company said it currently has more than 600 active contracts using this LCS model.
