Metso has secured an order from Fortress Minerals to supply a comprehensive suite of minerals processing equipment for two strategic projects in Malaysia: the Bukit Besi iron ore project and the Mengapur copper project.
The order value, which was not disclosed, is booked in Metso’s Minerals’ 2025 third-quarter orders received.
At the core of the order are two Metso HRC High Pressure Grinding Rolls (HPGR). The delivery also includes a Vertimill vertical grinding mill, a Stirred Media Detritor (SMD), TankCell flotation cells, vibrating screens, MD and slurry pumps, and MHC hydrocyclones. Most of the equipment in the delivery scope is part of the Metso Plus portfolio.
“This investment reflects the conclusion of a rigorous nine-month study into energy efficiency, availability, and process consistency,” said Mr. Ng Mun Fey, COO and project leader at Fortress Minerals.
“In the end, we placed our trust in Metso for their deep technical expertise, reliable product performance, and the strong support framework that assures long-term success for our operations.”
Fortress Minerals’ order contributes to the rapid expansion of Metso’s global HPGR installation base, reinforcing the growing demand for sustainable comminution solutions in the region.
