Tritton Copper Operations doubles wear life with Metso mill discharge pump

When wear-related limitations in its mill discharge pump were driving frequent rebuilds and increasing maintenance demands, Tritton Copper Operations partnered with Metso to identify a more efficient solution. Following a review of the site's comminution circuit, the installation of a Metso MDM250 mill discharge pump delivered significant gains in wear life, reliability and operating efficiency.

This case study explores how Tritton doubled pump wear life, reduced rebuilds from seven to four per year, improved hydraulic efficiency by 20%, and significantly reduced seal water consumption, delivering measurable operational and cost benefits across the site.
