Metso’s scope of delivery includes apron feeders, Nordberg® MP800TM cone crushers, TankCell® e630 and TankCell® e300 mechanical flotation cells, high-intensity Concorde CellTM units, ColumnCellTM units, HRT thickeners and a clarifyer. In 2022, Metso was awarded an order for two PremierTM grinding mills with a total installed power of 50 MW including Metso MegalinerTM and metallic mill linings. “Kansanshi’s flotation flowsheet combines the energy efficient TankCell® flotation cells with the new Concorde CellTM, unlocking the potential for further improved flotation performance. Concorde CellTM high-intensity, forced-air pneumatic flotation cells allow operations to enhance fine and ultrafine particle selectivity,” says Antti Rinne, Vice President, Flotation, at Metso.
