Diversified engineering and mining group Metso announced last month that it had signed a contract for the supply of a complete crushing and screening plant with international cement, ready-mix concrete and aggregates producer Vicat group subsidiary Sodevit Gécamines.

The Senegal-based aggregates miner placed the order in the fourth quarter of 2015.

The order includes the complete engineered design and supply of new crushers and screens for the primary and secondary crushing and screening stations. Metso will also integrate the reuse of existing equipment, such as tertiary crushers, a secondary screen and conveyors.

Along with the process design and full engineering of the plant, Metso's delivery will also include a C125 jaw crusher, an HP300 cone crusher and retrofitting 2 HP200 crushers for the tertiary station to produce 250 t/h of aggregate for local markets.

This plant design follows French regulations and norms for the quarry industry, stressing the importance of dust-suppression systems.

This is the second order that Metso has received from Sodevit Gécamines. The previous order was in 2011 and included the process design for a full crushing and screening plant producing 600 t/h for the aggregates industry.

Sodevit Gécamines has been a key player in Senegal's cement industry since 1999 and operates two aggregates plants in the country.

The Vicat group has about 7 900 employees and generated consolidated sales of €2.5-million last year. The group operates in 11 countries, with nearly 68% of its sales being generated outside France.
