en.Wedoany.com Reported - Metso will participate in Exponor 2026, held from June 8 to 11, 2026, in Antofagasta, Chile, showcasing comprehensive solutions and services for large-scale mining, highlighting its existing capabilities in the Antofagasta Region and its portfolio of critical mineral processing technologies.
The company will emphasize three strategic pillars: screening solutions using custom-made screens manufactured in Chile, a Crushing as a Service (CaaS) model based on operational outcomes, and specialized pumps designed to improve process availability and efficiency.
One of Metso's core offerings is its La Negra Regional Service Center, located in the Antofagasta industrial area. Recently expanded to 4,800 square meters of technical infrastructure, the center possesses unique capabilities in South America for handling large equipment. These facilities integrate bridge cranes with lifting capacities of up to 140 tons and high-precision vertical lathes for large-diameter components, enabling refurbishment, repair, and manufacturing services according to OEM standards, helping to reduce response times and improve operational availability for critical tasks. The center provides comprehensive support for crushers, mills, screens, HPGR and HRC equipment, Vertimill® grinding solutions, HIG mills, and filtration and dewatering-related services.
In the screening sector, Metso will showcase its specialized mineral classification product portfolio, including custom-made screens manufactured locally in Chile, featuring higher open area and high tear resistance to address specific challenges in local operations. This portfolio encompasses banana, horizontal, inclined, mobile, portable, and ultra-fine screens, adaptable to different operational scenarios, integrating trajectory and speed adjustments, multiple panel types, and upgrade options. The solutions emphasize safety and reliability, including Metso MV™ modular vibrators, weld-free side plates, and high-wear-resistant components, with simplified access to replaceable parts helping to extend service life and reduce unplanned downtime.
Metso will also introduce its Crushing as a Service (CaaS) model, transforming overall crushing management through operational outsourcing, with outcome-based solutions ensuring performance, availability, and maintenance. This proposal combines advanced monitoring, predictive maintenance, and local capabilities, aiming to guarantee operational continuity, reduce risks, and optimize costs for critical processes. Eduardo Nilo, President of Metso South America, stated that close customer relationships and deep understanding of their challenges enable them to provide solutions that go beyond equipment, striving to become a strategic partner in ensuring operational continuity and performance through initiatives like Crushing as a Service.
With a global network spanning over 140 locations and thousands of experts, Metso combines international experience with regional presence to support customers at every stage of operations. Participating in Exponor 2026 solidifies the company's position in Antofagasta, offering comprehensive solutions to address the current challenges of Chilean mining, covering operational efficiency, safety, continuity, and sustainability in critical mineral processing flows.
