The contracts support processing operations including parts, maintenance, and digital services for an extensive installed base of Larox® PF filters. This customer partnership approach reinforces long-term operational reliability, performance, and sustainability objectives.
The orders total around EUR 60 million. The orders are booked on a phased basis, with the first parts recorded in the Minerals segment’s orders received for the first quarter of 2026. One of the agreements is among the largest filtration LCS orders received by Metso to date.
Comprehensive service package
The agreements are based on Metso’s Larox® PF Plate Pack Management Service (PPMS) concept, part of the Metso Plus offering. Optimizing filtration performance across multiple sites, they combine planned maintenance, structure and programmed spare parts supply, repairs, upgrades, and expert support.
The service scope includes plate packs and spare parts, plate pack repairs and exchanges, service installation and technical support, filter upgrades and asset management solutions, as well as digital monitoring for condition tracking and performance optimization. Local service support and workshop capabilities are also part of the agreements.
"This long-term service model supports proactive maintenance, ensures predictable performance, and provides cost transparency, ultimately optimizing cost per ton in copper and base metals processing,” says Frank Araneda, Manager, LCS Solutions Sales at Metso.
Driving operational efficiency and advancing sustainability in copper and base metal production
The agreements support customers in improving plant availability, extending asset life, and ensuring consistent end-product quality. OEM repairs with warranty, upgrades, and digital tools enhance operational visibility and reduce unplanned downtime.
The lifecycle approach also advances sustainability by promoting component reuse and reducing material consumption. Reconditioning filter components significantly lowers embedded carbon compared to new equipment, supporting customers’ climate and resource efficiency targets.
Strengthening long-term partnerships

Metso’s Plate Pack Management Service redefines maintenance, moving from reactive to proactive, unlocking predictable performance, optimized asset management, and sustained cost-per-ton efficiency.
