Helsinki, Finland – Metso has won the order for railcar dumper from Hamersley Iron for its Cape Lambert Port operations. The new railcar dumper will feature a unique single tandem configuration.

Metso will supply the single tandem rotary railcar dumper to Hamersley Iron for its Cape Lambert Port B iron ore operation in North Western Australia. The value of the order will not be disclosed. The order is included in Mining and Construction Technology’s Q1 2011 orders received.

The railcar dumper will be the latest and most advanced available in the Metso offering and will feature a unique single tandem configuration. This design allows for lower maintenance and higher, more efficient material output flow. Ease and safety of maintenance is also improved through a reduction of overall components.

Hamersley Iron is a member of Rio Tinto Group, a major mining company with 77000 people working in over 40 countries. It is one of the world’s leading iron ore producers.
