Several high-capacity Nordberg MP800 cone crushers will be delivered by Metso to Grupo Mexico. The crushers will be installed at the La Caridad copper mine’s concentrator plant in Nacozari, Sonora, Mexico, to increase the plant’s capacity, Metso announced.
“We are honored that Grupo Mexico has chosen Metso for this important order. Our products are designed to meet the highest standards of efficiency and sustainability, aligning perfectly with Grupo Mexico’s ambitious targets,” said Giuseppe Campanelli, President, North and Central America Market Area, Metso.
Grupo Mexico is said to be the largest copper producer in Mexico, and Metso has a long-term strategic partnership with the company, and has delivered a significant amount of equipment to their different mining sites during recent years.
The value of the order, which was booked in the Minerals segment’s 2025 third-quarter order intake, was said to be over US $23mn.
According to Metso, an optimal crushing process reduces the ore to a desired size more efficiently, economically and safely. The company also said its portfolio of reliable and energy-efficient crushing solutions delivers superior performance and maximised throughput for even the most demanding mining applications.
Metso Nordberg MP800 crushers are said to represent the latest development in high-capacity crushing, offering up to 15% more capacity and significantly improved crushing force compared to previous models. With enhanced chamber design, automation readiness, and safer maintenance features, the MP800 is engineered to deliver consistent reliability and lower operating costs in demanding copper applications, the firm noted.
