en.Wedoany.com Reported - Metso has expanded its pump plant in Lurín, Lima, Peru, to enhance equipment supply and technical support capabilities for local and South American large-scale mining operations. The facility covers over 2,400 square meters and features specialized engineering areas dedicated to the assembly, production, and technical support of critical mining equipment.

Plant Manager Fredy Carrión stated that the facility is positioned as a regional strategic hub, aimed at reducing customers' carbon footprint by shortening logistics distances and delivery lead times, while providing rapid response and professional support for mine operations. Deputy Plant Manager Luigi Martel noted that the plant's primary objective is to improve customer equipment availability. The MD Series mill discharge pumps assembled there can reduce energy consumption by up to 20% and water usage by up to 50%, and feature highly durable materials and a modular design for easy maintenance.

The large-scale equipment assembled at the plant includes the MD-M900 pump, with a flow capacity of 12,000 to 13,500 cubic meters per hour, considered one of the largest models globally. The plant also produces the MHC 800 high-performance hydrocyclone, used to enhance mineral classification and recovery efficiency.

HSEQ Deputy Manager Jorge Loayza stated that the plant operates according to Metso's unified global OEM standards. Local production eliminates the long waiting times associated with intercontinental imports of critical equipment, enabling immediate response to mine shutdowns. In terms of safety, the plant has introduced advanced technologies such as crane proximity sensors and has received recognition from Peru's Ministry of the Environment through the "Clean Production Agreement" and a second-star rating in the "Carbon Footprint Program" for its environmental management.

The company emphasized that local manufacturing reduces emissions generated by international transport, helping mining customers achieve their decarbonization goals. This also consolidates its position as a strategic partner for the mining sector in Peru and the region, offering technical solutions that enhance efficiency and reduce operational costs.
