Metso To Make Rs 112 Cr Machine For Essar Steel

Mumbai: Leading mining solutions provider Metso Minerals Friday said that it will supply a Rs 112 crore iron ore machine to Essar Steel Holdings Ltd.

The iron ore induration machine, which is expected to be ready by 2010, will be commissioned at Essar's Paradeep Pellet Plant in Orissa.

A Metso statement said the 744 sq metre machine with 270 pellet cars will have a feed rate of 700 tonnes per hour of iron ore pellets.
