Mumbai: Leading mining solutions provider Metso Minerals Friday said that it will supply a 1.12 billion ($28 million) iron ore machine to Essar Steel Holdings. 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. Last year, Gurgaon-headquartered Metso Minerals had announced the expansion of its office premises and manufacturing and foundry capacities in India with a combined investment of 823 million. The company is also investing approximately 2 billion to set up "Metso Park", a multi-functional industrial facility in Alwar, Rajasthan.
