Metso Outotec advances a sustainable innovation legacy with the launch of Premier™ and Select™ horizontal grinding mills

Every mining operation has a unique grinding process that requires versatile grinding equipment. During the last six months, Metso Outotec has extensively reviewed the combined horizontal mill product offering from the legacy Metso and Outotec companies. As a result, we are pleased to unveil the harmonized Metso Outotec horizontal mill product lines that represent the best of both legacy companies: Metso Outotec Premier™ horizontal grinding mills and Select™ horizontal grinding mills

“With the introduction of the Premier™ and Select™ horizontal grinding mills, Metso Outotec continues its over 100-year legacy in grinding. Both lines have their own differences and benefits - but share the concepts and expertise that have made us an industry leader time and time again,” says Christoph Hoetzel, Head of Grinding business line at Metso Outotec.

“As a combined company we have consistently led the way in grinding mill innovation. We’ve continuously pushed mill technology in the next size increment. Currently, we have the largest operating mills in the world, and we want to lean on that legacy in taking the next steps in mill size. In addition, it is important for us to continue to be a frontrunner in the development of a more robust suite of horizontal mill technologies, providing desirable options for customers looking for quick execution with reliable technology.”

Two lines with different features

The Premier™ and Select™ horizontal grinding mills are designed for different customer segments and markets, and they have distinctly different features and benefits. In both lines, there are various mill solutions available for a wide range of applications.

The Premier™ horizontal grinding mills are completely customizable solutions built on state-of-the-art grinding mill technology, process expertise, and design capability. The Premier™ horizontal grinding mills are engineered to excel and create vast possibilities for customers and applications.
