Mesabi Metallics has awarded Metso an order for beneficiation plant equipment for its direct reduction (DR) grade iron ore plant in Nashwauk, Minnesota.
The Mesabi plant helps ensure supply chain security for DR grade pellets in the US while supporting the decarbonisation of steel production, Metso says.
Martin Nevens, Director, Minerals Sales, North and Central America at Metso, says: “The Concorde Cell™ flotation cells (pictured), a crucial component of the equipment delivery, are vital for ensuring flotation performance in Nashwauk’s iron ore application. These high-intensity flotation cells, part of the Metso Plus offering, allow operations to improve fine and ultrafine particle selectivity.”
In addition to the flotation cells, Metso’s delivery includes slurry pumps, SC vacuum filters for the dewatering of iron concentrate, and low intensity magnetic separators for recovering magnetic material.
The order value is approximately €10 million ($10.4 million).
